Marriage/Birth Lookup for St Mawes Area Please
« on: Wednesday 30 November 05 15:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi Everyone

I have the following family hearsay info and am hoping someone has enough time and records to do some rooting around for me please.

My Great grandfather John Burnett born 1877 in St Just in Roseland to Charles and Catherine.  Married Elizabeth Ann Davey born 1879 in St Mawes on the 15/11/1899.  They had three children - Vida B 1900, Clifford B 1902, and Raymond B1906 (my grandfather).  It is said that he then remarried and had five more children - Henry, Bill, George, Lillian and Fred (not necessarily in that order).

Can anyone find his second wife and or births for the children.  And did his first wife die? - a big ask i know but i will be extremely grateful for any help.

Thank you very much,

Chris

The Davey bit caught my eye - can't find a death for an Elizabeth BURNETT, but that doesn't mean it's not there somewhere  :)
