Hi Osprey,
That is so kind of you for this info. It definitely makes me believe I am on the right track.  I don't have my records in front of me but I have traced that the John Penrose who married the Joan....(I think if memory serves me correct) his father was John and mother Ann, I have the baptism info and the is the earliest entry I could find when looking.  there was no mention of them in this district so I found the Lanivet records show a John marry an Ann Roberts so I thought this may be the connection that John and Ann moved to A property in Broadoak called Babington.  I think it was owned by a Fortesque (excuse spelling).  that is about where I am at with them so I need to find out if there is a connection.  You are a real genie -Thankyou.
Regards

Hi osprey
Thank you so much for the information and for the time you have taken to gather it.  It took you not long compared to my years!  I believe they have combined the 2 families.  I believe my Joseph named his Charles Vinnicomb as they are from the same Lanivet family further back so I would say the are second cousins and quite proud of the admiral.  I am going to digest all the info you have given to me.  thank you so much your excellent!
Kind regards Reoinna

Cornwall Lookup Requests / Re: Joseph Penrose born Braddock 1785
« on: Tuesday 19 May 15 12:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi I have been searching for a connection to a family of Penrose that has a Admiral Charles Vinnicomb Penrose.  I have a ggreat grandparent named Charles Vinnicomb Penrose born 1812.  His father is Joseph Penrose born Braddock according to census information.  I am trying to find why he was named after the Vinnicomb family connection.  I have been on Ancestory and a few people there have claimed that Joseph was the son of Rev John Penrose brother to Admiral Charles Vinnicomb Penrose and they have Braddock birth in Wales.  Which I have not been able to find out about.  I know this is not an exact science but is anyone able to help e track the line?  my original post is that I believe Joseph parents were John Penrose and Joan  I have the will of Joan Henwood and she mentions a son Joseph. any suggestions is greatly appreciated.  Thankyou. ???

Australia / Re: Genetic Testing Question
« on: Monday 25 April 11 05:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi Brian,
All I can add is that I did have it done.  The test I had done was for maternal DNA.  As a male you can get both paternal and maternal done, which may help you.  My female line on my mothers side shows that my ancestors were either Scandanavian (Viking), Celtic or the Gauls.  Still a huge range and not as distinctive as I would have liked.  However there are other tests I can get done.  If my brother was to be tested they would find out more as well.  I personally think it is great.  I cannot afford to get more testing done at this time however I most certainly will in the future.  Read up about it and make up your mind.  I am glad and it did help me in my quest for answers.  As with Aboriginal DNA I think Jewish DNA is a specific marker as well.  Scottish you may find out that you to are from the same Halogroup as me - U.  Good luck. ;)

Hi Sunnylew,
I dont know enough to say - but I do know that with a male than can can test for the mothers side which traces her female genetics from her direct line of females.  MtDNA is also passed down from generation to generation unchanged. So we share the same mtDNA-type as our mother, our maternal grandmother, our maternal great-grandmother and so on. In fact the exact same mtDNA code will track our direct genetic line back until the point at which a natural mutation in the mtDNA code occurred  To have male DNA tested will give you both genetic origin history of their previous lineage.   With a female they are limited to be only able to test for the female line.  Y chromosome is passed down exclusively from father to son, the most popular ancestry tests are Y chromosome (Y-DNA) testing and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing which test direct-line paternal and maternal ancestry, respectively.  The DNA tests  for example, to determine a person's comprehensive genetic make-up and/or ethnic origins, so if you do have the halogroup for aboriginal genetics  it should be able to be detected.  If you are a female and you use your DNA it will show your mothers, her mother, her mother and her mother so forth and not the fathers mother.  So if it is your mother then it will show only her direct line of females.  It you have a male it will show both.  I think I am probably confusing you!  Sorry!  Good luck again.

Hi Sunnylew,

I was involved in the National Geographic world wide genetic testing a couple of years ago.  You would need to get Charles maternal side tested.  If you do have aboriginal DNA it should be a specific gene and should be able to be detected.  It is a very simple test of a check swab from inside the mouth or blood test (I think), the one I did was a check swab.  The testing places have quite a few tests so you would need to contact them or view their website to try and narrow down the best one for you.  You more than likely know this - goodluck.  Have you tried this nationalgeographic.com/genographic.

Australia / Re: Death Lookup - John BRADY Victoria
« on: Sunday 16 January 11 05:47 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Alison and LoganH, very much appreciated your time in looking for me!  I dont think it is him LoganH - this John Brady arrived as a convict - no family members in Australia as far as we know!  In regards to Cando's question about his son, this son - Charles Brady went to NSW and died at Tumbarumba NSW.  The only family were his son's and daughter the daughter died at Yackendandah her married name was Grant.  The eldest son was buried at Stanley Victoria and others were buried at I think Emerald or Lysterfield or Macceslfield in Victoria.  One thing I am sure of is that he definitely died somewhere! :P

Thankyou Wiggy and Cando,
Yes he was still alive in 1880 when his daughter was married - then nothing.  When his wife died he was left with a young sons, so his daughter looked after the family. 
Apparently he was engaged to another lady, so thinking that her father was going to be okay - she got married and he had to write permission for her to get married.

Cando, many thanks for the link - it was me!  His son John Brady (jnr) is buried in Stanley.  I am chasing his elusive father John Brady (Snr).   I just don't know where about the devil died!  Maybe one day I strike it lucky!  A big thankyou to you both.
