Dear Allij,
I have been in contact with the Parramatta Sydney Cornwell family.  They are descended from the nephew of John Cornwell, born in 1826.  Samuel Cornwell went to Australia on the same ship with John Cornwell.  I would be happy to share.  Your personal message box is full.

Wow!  What a lot of information fast.  To complete the family, Alfred W. Pidgeon died Apr. 4, 1990 in Southeast Florida, U. S.  His wife, Bernice McGrane was born in Missouri in 1913.  She was daughter of John and Mayme McGrane.  Alfred W. Pidgeon had two daughters, Susan, married name Engblom, and Nancy, married name Emmendorfer.  Obit. St. Petersburg Times, Florida.

Thank-you for your information.  Since I posted my query, I have located additional information.  Mary Jane Long was born Mar. 12, 1880 Chard Somersetshire.  She married Walter Alfred Hewitt as you stated.  They had a son, John William Hewitt, christened Oct. 25, 1903, at St.Mark's Hatfield, Hertford, England.  She remarried in England to a man, surnamed Pidgeon.  I have not been able to locate this marriage, however, she emigrated on the ship, Mauretania, that departed Southampton, and arrived in New York City, New York on May 16, 1920, as Mary Jane Pidgeon with stated last place of residence Banstead, England.  In the 1940 Cedar Rapids, IA. census, she is listed with her son, John W. Hewitt, age 36, and her son, Alfred W. Pidgeon, age 25 stated birthplace, England.  Mary Jane Pidgeon died Mar. 8, 1973 in Cedar Rapids, IA.  I am still interested in finding descendants of Mary Jane (Long) Hewitt Pidgeon, daughter of William Diment Long and Mary Jane Turner.

Somerset / Mary Jane Long, born, 1779-1780, Chard

I am looking for descendants of Mary Jane Long, born 1779-1780, Chard.  One census states Tatsworth which is 2 miles south of Chard.  She was daughter of William Diment Long and Mary Jane Turner, dau. Arthur Turner.  William and Mary married  Apr. 3, 1879 Combe St. Nicholas.  Mary was in St. Albans, as a servant, in 1901 Hertfordshire census.  Her father, William Diment Long immigrated to USA in 1910.  It is not known if Mary Jane immigrated also.

Somerset Lookup Requests / John and Susanna ( Hockey) Long, Somerset Look up

I would appreciate the burial dates and ages of John and Susanna Long.  They were the parents of William Long, bp. 1782 in Membury, Devon.  It is my understanding that they were buried at Combe St. Nicholas, Somerset.  John Long and Susannah Hockey were married at Chardstock in 1768.

Thank-you for your recent reply.  The Membury parish records at the Devon record office state: "Frances, son of John and Susanna Long bp. July 14, 1765."  If they got married three years later, would the bp. record be recorded as such?
I was unaware that John and Susanna Long were buried at Combe St. Nicholas.  Do you have dates and ages at the time of their burials?
John Long, 75 yrs, was buried Mar. 9, 1804 at Membury, Devon.  I had assumed that he was the John Long, father of William Long.  Obviously, I was wrong.  Thank-you for your information.
There were two John Long's bp. at Membury, Devon about the same time.  John, son of Robert Long, bp. Jan. 10, 1730, Membury, Devon and Jon, son of Simeon Long, bp. Jan. 30, 1730.  I had assumed that John Long, son of Simeon Long, was the John Long buried at Membury.  The John Long, son of Robert Long, must be the John Long buried at Membury.
I believe that the John Long, son of Simeon Long, was married to Susanna based on the following: John and Susanna Long were parents to William Long, bp. 1782.  The third son of William and Susanna (Follett) Long was Simeon Long and William and Susanna (Follett) Long, who had 5 sons, did not name any of them Robert.  I am descended from Simeon Long, bp. Apr. 14, 1816, Combe St. Nicholas, who married Mary Hurford Diment, Apr. 12, 1842 at Combe St. Nicholas.

Cambridgeshire / Re: Ship/Driver/Hancock

Hello, Twink
     I have been researching the Hancock family for many years.  Benjamin Hancock, bp. Dec. 25, 1754, Swaffham Bulbeck, bur. Feb. 3, 1835 at Swaffham Bulbeck at the age of 81 was married to Hannah Adams, bp. Feb. 29, 1756 Fulbourn All Saints, Camb., d. according to her death certificate, Jan. 23, 1844, Swaffham Bulbeck, Camb.   They were the parents of my great great great great grandmother, Ann (Hancock) Beard who was bp. Aug. 9, 1778, Swaffham Bulbeck.
     Benjamin Hancock was the son of James Hancock and Martha Ostler.  While it is true that James Hancock married Mary Defew Oct. 7, 1733, Swaffham Bulbeck, she was buried Dec. 22, 1737 at Swaffham Bulbeck.  James Hancock then married Martha Ostler on Dec. 12, 1738 at Stow Cum Quy, Camb.
     My main interest are the parents of James Hancock.  On-line sources suggest that he was bp. Apr. 28, 1689 at Fulbourne, All Saints, Camb. son of James Hancock and Grace Joslyn.  James Hancock and Grace Joslyn were married June 11, 1686 at St. Sepulche, Camb.  I believe that the James Hancock, bp. 1689 was the father of the James Hancock that married in 1733 and 1738.  In 1979 at the Society of Genealogists, London, I found the following (I believe on microfiche):  James Hancock son of Sarah Munns (no father) bp. Oct. 4, 1710, Camb. St. Vicars.  My problem now is the realization that there is no St. Vicars.  This bp. is not recorded in the Fulbourne, St. Vigor, Camb. parish records.  I live in the United States and have been unable to return to the Society of Genealogists to find the source for this baptism.  I have, however, located the bp. of Sarah Munns (Munds), Dec. 31, 1693, Bottisham, Camb., daughter of Thomas and Mary Munns.  Any help would be appreciated.
