Richard MARTIN of Penzance

[cornishpasty]

I'm trying to trace Richard MARTIN (no details at all).  He had 2 daughters:

Mary MARTIN (born Penzance 22 Nov 1812 and died 2 Nov 1859)
Sally Perry MARTIN (born Penzance 1811)

Mary emigrated to South Africa in 1859.  She was married to Enoch Warren James UREN.  I have all their details.

I am trying to find Richard MARTIN's wife, his parents, any siblings he had and also trying to find any other children he may have had, besides the above two.

I would be grateful for some help.

Thanks
CP

Thanks so much for that information.  I have been checking Richard Martin's till they were coming out my ears. LOL.  Didn't find those you listed.  The one with Mary and Sally Martin looks promising though.  I will certainly look into that now.  Thanks so much.  Will also check the others you gave me.

What or where is Boyds Index?

Hugs

the marriage is also on the Cornish Marriage Index so looks good. There's a wonderful system of online parish clerks in Cornwall, although the one for Gulval is unavailable at the moment. 

http://www.cornwall-opc.org/Par_new/parishes.php

also, the Federation of Family History Societies has a good amount of Cornish parish records - you pay by credit card and then small sums are deducted from your credit when you look at the results of searches, not for searching itself.

Hi CP,

I have been taking a look at this and I think this is what you are after 

MARTIN Richard = PERRY Sarah 6 Dec 1803 Falmouth

MARTIN Elizabeth b 15 Dec 1804 and baptised 25 Jan 1805 Falmouth Parents Richard and Sarah
MARTIN William baptised 26 Oct 1806 St Gluvias Parents Richard and Sarah ....at marriage to Mary Ann ROBERTS 11 Nov 1838 Madron he lists as William Perry MARTIN, he was 32 she was 33
MARTIN Richard baptised 6 May 1807 St Gluvias Parents Richard and Sarah
MARTIN Sally Perry baptised 1 Feb 1811 Penzance Father Richard
MARTIN Mary baptised 22 Nov 1812 Penzance father Richard

MARTIN Sarah was buried 23 Jul 1826 Penzance aged 50

I believe this is Sarah because Benjamin Perry aged 55 is with Richard and family in 1851. He is Sarah's young brother

PERRY Sarah baptised 10 Jul 1777 Wendron parents Benjamin and Margery

Siblings
William 9 Dec 1779 Wendron
John 17 Mar 1782 Wendron buried 9 Oct 1786 Wendron
Jane 13 Jun 1784 Wendron
Ann 9 Jul 1786 Wendron
Margery 10 May 1789 Wendron
Benjamin 19 Jul 1795 Helston

PERRY Benjamin = PAPPIN Margery 26 Apr 1777 Wendron

I believe this is William because he lists a birth in St Erme 1780 in the 1851 census

MARTIN Ric baptised 31 Dec 1780 St Erme Parents Wm and My

Siblings
MARTIN Eliz baptised 23 Jan 1785 St Erme buried 18 Aug 1791
