Hi Ann. I am the great great grandson of Francis Beck. Unfortunately I have not made any progress on him since my last post.

Lincolnshire / Re: EVERSON - Weymouth. Dorset connections
« on: Tuesday 29 March 11 22:01 BST (UK) »
I'm fairly sure that the Mary Ann in 1901 census is actually Mary Ann Randall (born Weymouth c. 1847).
Charles's son George Frederick (Fred) was born in Hargate, Fleet (sub district of Holbeach) in 1880. Fred's mother is recorded as Mary Jane Everson (formerly Zealey).
Charles Everson & Mary Zealey were married at the Register Office in Melcombe Regis in 1869. Charles is in the 51st Regiment at the Barracks in Portland. Father's names are William Everson (dec'd) and Augustus Zealey (dec'd). Witnesses are Richard Zealey and Eliza Zealey.
Charles Everson was born 1847 in Gedney and was the son of William Everson and Eliza Everson (formerly Fields). Was he the guy in Spalding Gaol in 1881? Everything points to it. Pottery Foreman in Poole in 1891? Can't prove that he wasn't. General labourer in Plymouth in 1901? Certainly. Whereabouts in 1871 is still a mystery though.

Cornwall / Re: CURGENVEN - anyone heard of this name ?

Hi Megs, it's never too late. I've hit a brick wall on this one. John Curgenven, living in Plymouth in 1799, probably earlier, is the person I'm really interested in. Do you have a record of a John Curgenven marrying a Mary late 1700s?

My thanks to all who have spent time on this during the past week, and for adding your findings. I hadn't really considered the name variation. As a result, I've just found some Becquet births in Plymouth from 1901 which I can investigate on my next trip to the records office.

Hi Carole,
Many thanks for checking. I think you're right about the adapted name.
"Francis" was a merchant seaman in Sept 1881 and was not in the family home for 1891 census. I had assumed he was at sea, but looks like you found him for me.

Trying to obtain more info about Francis Beck. English 1901 census shows place of birth as St. Helier approx 1856. He was married in Plymouth in 1881 aged 25 - his father was also called Francis Beck and was a butter merchant. Death cert from 1928 shows age as 75. A distant relative said he was banished from Jersey.
Thanks in advance.

...and Henry, baptised on 11/06/1810.
Further Curgenven info - John Curgenven and Elizabeth Metchlor married in East Stonehouse (Plymouth) on 20/01/1820. They had a son, Francis Metchlor Curgenven baptisted on 02/02/1823. Father John is a patten maker (is this the same guy?)

I've traced my family tree back to Catherine Judith Curgenven who was baptised on 02/08/1818 at the Parish Church of St. Andrews in Plymouth . Her parents are stated as John (a patten maker) and Mary. I’ve also traced 4 others Curgenven’s baptised in Plymouth with the same parents:-
Elizabeth – 25/03/1799
Thomas – 02/09/1804
Benjamin – 10/01/1808
Nicholas – 30/05/1814
I would now like to find out more about John Curgenven's origin. Is he related to the Cornish Curgenvens? Anyone able to help?
Many thanks.

Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Missing Person in 1891- help please!
« on: Saturday 25 November 06 20:00 GMT (UK) »
James Henry Quarm died 25/06/1903 at 85 South Milton St. Age was given as 59 years and occupation as Cooper. Informant was Louisa Rankin (daughter) also of the same address. This would suggest that the "Charles" Quarm on the 1901 census is actually James Henry.
As Maud Louise is calling herself Louisa, I am wondering if she could be the Louisa at 77 Clare Buildings in 1891.
