Cornwall / Re: marraige cert look up please cornwall
« on: Tuesday 16 August 05 09:58 BST (UK)  »
A parish marriage record in 1816 would be unlikely to give his age, unfortunately.  See http://www.british-genealogy.com/resources/registers/indexf.htm for examples.  The only time I've seen ages given were in cases where the person in question was not of age (in this case sometimes the father's name is also given as he would need to consent to the marriage).

What you would get would be the names of witnesses, who might be relatives.

How far off is the age on the death certificate from the one you have from other sources (from censuses, I suppose?), and who was the informant on the certificate?

Cornwall / Re: Middle names of children 1800
« on: Tuesday 16 August 05 09:47 BST (UK)  »
It would be common to see the mother's maiden name used as a middle name (I've seen several families where a number of children bear the same middle name, and that's generally the mother's maiden)

Often the child is named after a relative, so Mary Smith Brown is named after her grandmother, Mary nee Smith.  There are several suggested 'patterns' for first names - you might want to check if any of your families tended to match up with these:

http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hardiehistory/namemeanings/namingsystems.htm#StandardEnglish

Another possibility is that the middle name is taken from the clergyman who baptised the child - this apparently was common in some areas.

Sometimes, of course, there's just no pattern.  One of my grandfathers has the middle names 'John Rice'.  His father was John Rice Tong, and the grandfather of John Rice Tong was also John Rice Tong.  The mother of that John Rice Tong, Martha Pascoe, had a brother, 'John Rice Pascoe'.  The paternal grandmother of Martha Pascoe and John Rice Pascoe was Jennifer Rice, who married Anthony Pascoe.  However, none of the children born to Anthony Pascoe and Jennifer Rice carried Rice as a middle name.

Anthony Pascoe = Jennifer Rice
c.
Anthony Pascoe = Martha Heathrington (note this surname was not carried through)
c.
Martha Pascoe = Benjamin Tong    and John Rice Pascoe
c.
John Rice Tong (no children with middle name Pascoe)
c.
William Henry Tong
c.
John Rice Tong
c.
Edgar John Rice Tong

In general, this particular family didn't have surname middle names, so I was happy when I tracked it down!

Cornwall Lookup Requests / Re: Arthurs of Hayle
« on: Monday 15 August 05 22:58 BST (UK)  »
Is there a particular reason why you think this family are connected to your Sydney Alexander Arthur and Thomas Sydney Arthur?  Is your information about Thomas and Sydney from Thomas' marriage certificate? (And if so, does it give Sydney A. Arthur's occupation?  That could be a key to identifying him.)

If they were English citizens living in Uruguay, and depending on the dates of the BMDs, there may be records in the UK as well.

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/research/searchingforoverseasrecords/index.asp#0 - covers pretty well what sort of records are available.
