POLLARD-COCK of Redruth area

[GazT]

Hi,

Does anyone have anything on the whereabouts of a Thomas and Elizabeth Pollard, nee Cock, married circa 1833?

I'm tracing a g-g-grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Pollard, who married Abraham George in Redruth in 1852.

In the 1851  census, I found an Elizabeth Ann Pollard, 17, a tailoress, living  with a Margaret Cock, widow, at 230 Roach Row, Redruth.

In 1841, aged  7, Elizabeth Pollard is listed as living with a Margaretta Cock, 55, and a Jane Cock, 20. Margaretta/Margreat is her maternal grandmother, born c 1786, nee Penberthy and married to a William Cock on 20 August 1803 at Redruth.

Elizabeth, who married Thomas Pollard was christened 29 January 1804, the first of eight children.

Thomas, son of John Pollard and Ann Williams, I believe, was christened 5 Sept, 1812, the last of five children.

What I'm hoping to discover is what happened to them following Elizabeth Ann's birth in 1834... And how she ended up with her grandma

And if anyone has any more on her grandparents, I'd be grateful too

Hi Gaz 

Do you have Elizabeth Ann Pollard = Abraham George, their marriage cert? If so, who were the witnesses and what was her dad's occupation. Also does it state whether he is deceased? Any other info from the cert may give us clues.

Hi Deb

No, no certificate. And, as I'm very new at this, no idea or how where to get one. Any hints?

Hi Gaz

Here is the marriage reg.  You can order the marriage cert online at the Cornwall records office using these details.....

Abraham GEORGE
Elizabeth Ann CORK (sic)
Sept q 1852, Redruth

vol 5c pg 408

I can't seem to find her parents at all in 1841 or 1851... I wonder if they had died ...I will look further

Hopefully the cert would tell  if her dad was deceased , the witnesses may also let us know if she had family around etc.

Hi Gaz

I have been trying to find Abraham and Elizabeth Ann George nee Pollard in 1861...they are proving to be a little elusive LOL ....

Can you tell me what  children they had.

Hi Deb,

hope I didn't give you a bum steer, but you won't find Abraham or Elizabeth in 1861. They were in Australia by then. Abraham arrived with his brothers in April '55 aboard the Gipsy Queen and Elizabeth followed 18 months later, arriving September 1856, with Elizabeth Ann, their only daughter (b: 1853, St Agnes) and other female family members, including Abraham's mother Jane, aboard the Morning Light.

I should have mentioned that in my original post, sorry to put you to unnecessary work.

This is the census entry 1851:

HO107/1915 Folio: 199 Page: 38
Foundry Row
Redruth

GEORGE Jane Head W   F   43 b St Agnes Miners Widow [c1808]
GEORGE Isaac Son U 23 b St Agnes Tin & Copper Miner [c1828]
GEORGE Abraham Son U 16 b St Agnes  Tin & Copper Miner [c1835]
GEORGE Thomas Son 14 b St Agnes Tin & Copper Miner [c1837
GEORGE Mary Ann Dau 12 b St Agnes  [c1839]
GEORGE Susan  7 b St Agnes [1844]

And Elizabeth is then:

HO107/1915 Folio: 303 Page: 62
Roach's Row, Plain an Gwarry
Redruth

COCK Margaret Head W 67 b Redruth [c1794]
POLLARD Elizabeth Ann G/dau U 16 b Redruth  Tailoress [c1835]

There is also a birth registered for:

Births Mar 1/4  1854 Redruth
GEORGE Margretta   Redruth 5c  286

probably named for her maternal grandmother, but I can't find any mention of her in Australia.

Sorry again, but what I'm really chasing is Elizabeth Ann Pollard/Cock's parents, and what happened to them, and any antecedents.

I feel such a goose.

Hi Gaz 

No problem ..... I was just hoping that if I searched for them in 1861 that I may have found her parents living nearby, or a parent living with them !!

I will keep on searching for her parents and grandparents.....
