Hi

Looking to track Eldred Curwen ( Curwin) in Reading especially  marriage around 1799 in Reading to Elizabeth ???

Have a wife Sarah dying 1798 in Reading, Buried May 1798 in St Lawrences Reading

There is an  E Curwin in on Land Registry as Tenant in St Lawrence in 1798

Child John Curwen, parents Eldred and Elizabeth is baptised St Lawrence 1800 ( plus 2 other Children George and Eliza 1804 and 1805) ???

Death of Eldred Curwen shown St Giles - 1807  - would I get more info from a St Giles records?

Marriage of son John Curwen to Elizabeth Wallen - 1821 St Laurences Reading

Death of Elizabeth Curwin ( Curwen) Cross Street, St Laurences Reading, 1826  - buried St Giles.

Would love to know who Elizabeth who married Eldred was  :)
Thanks for any help

Hi all

Just a line to say I have proved it and what a family link it has proven to be.

Emily May went to Australia in 1877 and married twice.

She had a daughter Jane DIXON from her marriage with William DIXON.

Her Sister Clara married James ARTHUR ( my Great Grandparents)

They had a son James Reginald ARTHUR who went to Queensland in 1914 and married a girl called JANE DIXON - yep his cousin.

The had serveral children - who they named after UK family members.

So not only did I breakdown the brickwall for Emily May ( all proven with certificates etc) I also managed to solve my longest brickwall of what happened to my Great Uncle James - Yipee!

Happy hunting and never give up.

Thanks Kris,

That gives me some options to consider.

Just thinking quickly of the  possible options - I see from 1851 and subsequent census' that  William ( born 1810/11) is  with Ann, and gives St Columb Minor as birth place, which may favour him over the William in 1808 baptised Newlyn East.

Will try and see if Elizabeth Arthur born 1781 married or her death record after 1841, to see if any more details help from death certificate with  connections.

May end up as one of those impossible ones to actually prove.  :-\

Cornwall Lookup Requests / ARTHUR family of St Column Minor
« on: Monday 03 January 11 15:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Could I request a look up for the Parish baptism records for St Columb Minor

I am trying to see if there is a connection between the following Arthurs'

I have

Aaron Arthur - son of William and Mary Arthur ( nee Tregonning) baptised 1822.
and his various Descendants - ( my immediate ancestors) all in St Columb  Minor

Nancy Arthur - daughter of William and Mary Arthur  born 1813.

There is also a William Arthur born 1811 on the 1841 St Columb Minor Census - and I was wondering if he could be connected to Aaron and Nancy.

He is listed with wife Ann in 1841, and also with a Betsy Arthur - age 60 - is this his mother ?
William and Ann have son called Aaron  so I am assuiming there may be a connection some how.

Any suggestions/help gratefully received.

Regards



Janet
