Hi, sorry can't help you with the baptisims but there is this death:~

Ann Eddy, Penzance Q4 1870 age 26 (5c 240)

and this one

Jane age 26 Q3 1869  Penzance (5c 182)

and

Jane age 28 Q1 1871 Penzance (5c 216) - should she be on the census?

finally

Margaret Ann G age 21 Penzance Q1 1869 (5c 255) - is she too young to be the mother of Thomas age 4 (in 1871)?


looking for a marriage to tie in with the childrens births (and the deaths above) there is this one (on FreeBMD)  that is puzzling me:~

Richard Eddy Q3 1865 Penzance (5c 507) and on the same page Elizabeth Cocking & Jane Williams

Hi ambers,

Have you tried the St Ives site? Sorry I don't have time to see if they are listed at this time.

Many thanks for the Link Kris  , very handy....I could only find a CD on sale for St Ives but no joy with the Baptisms or Marriage for any of  them.


Toni, that is puzzling because on the 1881 he is calling a Jane his wife, and  children are not born to them until 1880...when they have moved to another area
Maybe his first wife was a called Jane    but it would make sense to me if I could have found a death for the Elizabeth Eddy (Cocking). marriage  to Richard Eddy in 1865

Thanks to both of you for the help....it's given plenty to think about.

Hello Ambers
I was in the St Ives Archive this morning and managed to do a small amount of digging for you.
In one of the family files it indicated that Richard married 2 Janes.  There was also a birth cerificate for John b 1869.
Can you confirm that the family you are after moved to Chester- le Street?
Barbara

[ambers]

Oh Barbara you are so kind , thank you

Yes, that is the family that moved to  Chester-le Street....first child was John b1869

Was there a surname listed for the other Jane?

A very grateful Ambers

Hello Ambers
I think this will need some sorting out and checking!
The birth certificate was for John Eddy b Halsetown 14 Jan 1869.  Father Richard Eddy Tin Miner.  Mother Jane Eddy formerly Williams.
Jane Eddy died 5 August 1869 and is buried at Barnoon Cemetery.
The marriage of Richard Eddy to Jane Williams is stated to be 10 September 1865.
Richard's second wife is stated to be Jane Ninnes.
As the family was living in Halsetown in the 1871 census I checked the Halsetown baptisms but had no luck. I also checked whether the Richard Eddy/Jane Williams marriage was at Halsetown - it wasn't!  Nor does it seem to have been at St iVes Parish Church.
It is particularly strange that there is a Jane Williams in the household in 1871 as a servant.  However there does seem to be another connection with a Williams family as I believe Richard's parents may have been William Eddy and Mary Williams.
The trouble is that there are rather a lot of Eddy families down here!
I can check the burial of Jane for you and try to find the baptisms of her children. I can also take a longer look at the file to check for further evidence/information. That will probably be on Thursday next week.
Is there anything else I can check for you?
Barbara
Which Eddy are you descended from?

[ambers]

Hi Barbara... thank you for all that information.

This is my Brickwall, and I have already  followed the wrong family once, so this is the other possible family.

My connection is Richard Eddy born c1871, father Richard Eddy a Miner, his age must be incorrect on his marriage certificate when he married Eliza Jane Thomas (Janie) in 1898 . The Witnesses were John and Margaret Matthews (nee Ninnis), her father was John Grenfell Ninnis and Mary possibly Eddy

I have just found in Free BMD search Jane Ninnis married a Richard Eddy 3qtr 1871 Redruth... but it is odd that their first child together was born 1881

It would be great if you could find the Baptisms for the three children, and anything else you think would be relevant.

This is very kind of you...only wish I could be there myself.
