Cambridgeshire / Re: CORNWELL from Bottisham

Dear acr8574

I am happy to be in contact with another descendant of Holmes Cornwell and Elizabeth Day.  I am descended from their son, John Day Cornwell, and Sarah West.
John Day and Sarah (West) Cornwell had a son, George Cornwell, baptized Mar. 26, 1820 in Bottisham Lode, Camb.  George Cornwell married Harriet Beard on Sept. 22, 1842 in Bottisham Lode, Camb.  Harriet Beard, baptized Mar. 3, 1822 in Bottisham Lode, Camb., was the daughter of Matthew and Ann (Hancock) Beard.  George and Harriet (Beard) Cornwell had a son, Walter Cornwell.  Walter Cornwell, born Nov. 9, 1842 Bottisham Lode, Camb., came to America.  He married Mary Anna Long, born Dec. 18, 1846 in Hook, Chardstock, Dorset, Eng.  Walter and Mary Anna (Long) Cornwell were my great great grandparents.  I live in the Kansas City area of Kansas, United States.

I would like to know how Absalom Cornwell fits into the family.  I am also interested in the predecessors of Holmes Cornwell and Elizabeth Day.

In 1981, I published a book, "The Cornwell Family History: In England and the United States."  I hand carried a copy to the Society of Genealogists in London.  Since then, I have been in contact with our relatives in Australia and other relatives in England.

Do you live in England, the United States or Australia?

Your cousin, Karen

Dear Carol,

I believe that you were interested in the birthdates of the children of George Cornwell and Mary Morley.  In 1971, I went to Bottisham Lode and the Vicar at the time allowed me to look at the parish records of Bottisham and also Lode, Bottisham.  I am the descendant of Holmes Cornwell and Elizabeth Day.  I copied all the Cornwell references in order to find my relatives. 

My records from the original records of Bottisham, Cambridgeshire state the following baptismal dates for chidren of George and Mary Ann Cornwell:  Sept. 5, 1875 for George William; Jan. 7, 1877 for David; Apr. 21, 1878 for Alice Mary; Jan. 22, 1880 for Frederick; Feb. 6, 1881 for Arthur Frederick; Mar. 4, 1883 for Robert Oliver; Mar. 7, 1886 for Ada May; Oct 2, 1889 for Kate; Apr. 21, 1889 for Ernest ( It is noted that they are both 1889); Dec. 7, 1890 for Lottie Maud; June 12, 1892 for Stanley; Feb. 11, 1894 for Frank Motley (born Dec. 20, 1893); Dec. 25, 1899 for Alice (born Oct. 3, 1898); Oct. 7, 1900 for Algeron (born Apr. 26, 1900) and Feb. 21, 1903 for Bertie Rose.

The marriage record is in Bottisham, Cambrigeshire was Mar. 4, 1875 between George Cornwell age 21 and son of Isaac Cornwell and Mary Ann Morley age 18, daughter of William Morley.  The marriage of Arthur Frederick Cornwell age 19, son of George Cornwell and Lucy Jane Hiner, age 17, and daughter of Robert Hiner was on July 28, 1900.  The marriage of Robert Oliver Cornwell, age 21, son of George Cornwell and Alice Mary Ris, age 24, daughter of John Ris was on Sept. 2, 1903. 

Burial records of Bottisham  show Frederick Cornwell buried Nov. 9, 1880, age 1 year, residence Bottisham.

Baptism records of Bottisham also show Sept. 21, 1902 for Arthur Robert Cornwell, son of Arthur Frederick and Lucy Jane Cornwell, May 16, 1904 for Geneva Annie, daughter of Arthur Frederick and Lucy Jane Cornwell, and Dec. 8, 1935 for Anthony Bujan, son of Stanley and Ada Florence Cornwell.

Do you know the name of the parents of Isaac Cornwell?

Looking forward to hearing from you.  I am always interested in completing the Cornwell family history.

Karen.
