I am a descendant of
Paul Penrose b.18/11/1792 Redruth d.22/3/1862 Trevellan and Elizabeth Penrose nee.Tredinnick b.23/3/1794 St Agnes d.26/6/1872.
Their eldest daughter Elizabeth Penrose b.2/2/1817 St Agnes d. jan/1890 Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand was my great great grandmother.
Elizabeth married a George Commons on 26/10/1834 in St Agnes, they had 3 daughters but only 2 survived. George died at some point, I don't know how or when.
Elizabeth then eloped with my great great grandfather William Davies a miner on 27/6/1842 at Truro, they had 9 children, 2 of whom were born in the UK, 1 in Sth Aust and the other 6 in NZ.
Elizabeth and William Davies are both buried on Mt Victoria which is on Auckland's North Shore.
I have heard that Elizabeth was disinherited by her parents when she eloped, is this correct?
