Hi Dianne

I was reading that just yesterday. The problem in my line is that the 'n may have got so quiet it disappeared altogether. If it was changing from An to En to In I wouldn't even notice it, but when it goes altogether it leaves a valid alternate surname, which leaves you not knowing if twere or twaint Andean in the first place.

Cheers

Peter

Thanks to you both.

I've emailed David and I'll get back to the forum if anything comes of it.

Cheers

Hi Kris

Thanks for giving this some of your time. I've just looked over the Online Census Project for the Deans you mentioned and I agree that they don't appear to be associated with Elizabeth ch.1807. As you say lots of Andeans and Endeans and Indains. Although there was a Dean couple in Truro.

I think that my next step is the Tregony OPC

If you're  happy to leave this in the same Endean thread then so am I.

Cheers

Peter

Hi Kris

Thanks for your welcome.

From the OPC transcription of her marriage she and William both marked and the witnesses are Arthur Thomas and William Menear, nothing informative like a Dean or Andean.

I did look into this situation a while ago and then moved on to other branches, but someone pointed me to Roots.Chat yesterday and the Endean thread was the first one I saw.

One general question, is it normal for threads to get jijacked or should I have changed the Subject line?

Hi Damien

Just a small correction to my original, she was christened in Cuby with Tregony, not Gerrans.
Someone told me that the vicar was the one from Philliegh, not the local guy, which increases the risk of name confusion.
I will double-check my facts and then get onto David Crocker. I think that this is going to take a lot of 'ruling out as many people as possible' and then seeing who is left.

Thanks

Peter

I'd like to throw my potential Andeans into the ring.

I have an Elizabeth Ann Dean born in Tregony, who married William Roberts in Gerrans in 1834, died in Treluggan, Gerrans in 1890. I couldn't find any likely Deans, so I'm guessing that she was really Elizabeth Andean.
Censuses have her birth from 1801 to 1812. I have her tentatively as Elizabeth Andean christened 1807 Gerrans, daughter of William and Mary Andean.  William from Cuby with Tregony christened 1782 son of Henry and Catherine or 1783 son of Thomas and Priscilla. William married Mary Smyth of St Stephen in Brannel in that parish 1806. I have Elizabeth's siblings as Frances 1814 and Henry 1817 both in Cuby with Tregony.

I have asked this question of [CORNISH-GEN] and spoken to the Gerrans OPC Bill O'Reilly about it, he says that the marriage record definitely say Elizabeth Ann Dean, and I'm waiting on the LDS microfilm arriving at my local LDS History Centre to see for myself.

Anybody care to rip my theory to shreds?
