EDDY. Baptisms, St Ives.

Hi Barbara,

I am so glad you haven't given but please say if you find all this searching for me too much....I am just grateful that you have managed to dismiss the St Ives Richard Eddy as being connected.

Sarah Eddy (Trembath) son, Richard Eddy's  death was registered by his brother James, abode Trewellard.

I have looked at shipping records in the hope of spotting him but all were travelling alone. Even paying £3.50 a time, the only information I got was married/ single, born Penzance/Cornwall, and so many Richard Eddy's. If the return journeys were listed it would have helped. 

Johannesburg has been mentioned within the family but I am not sure!
I searched Deaths  in various Countries, and didn't find any Richard Eddy of the correct age.

I did contact the Parish Clerk at St Just about Baptisms but can't remember if I asked for both children's at that time...in any event I was only sent the GRO ref but I already had the certificates....I will try again.
She was from an Eddy line herself, and mentioned a difficulty
with one of them...odds on he was mine

This might be of interest or help.

When Doris Eddy b 1903, married in 1924, the Parish Church , St Just in Penwith, one of the Witnesses was a Matthew Eddy.  Sarah Eddy (Trembath) had a son by this name about six years older than Doris....at the time I was still trying to prove a connection with that family.

When Richard Eddy b1899 visited Cornwall (Tregeseal)  in later years, he only visited his sister Doris at Tregeseal.
So where were his fathers parents and other family members living  or had there been some family probelms in the past?

I have tried checking other people's Tree's on-line to get a hook on him, again to no avail.

Many thanks

Just another thought.  I wonder if there was a newspaper report on the funeral of Richard in 1902.  Sometimes they give lots of information about mourners.

Hello Barbara,

I contacted the Records Office, and they recommened The Cornishmen newspaper to be the most likely...twice weekly I think.

Nothing in it

The Parish Clerk replied this morning, she is so efficient, only mailed her last night .

The Parish Records  for Penwith are being slowly Transcribed but she thinks the cut off date is going to be about 1900.
I will have to ring the Records Office.

Me again Barbara,

I rang the Records Office, oh lol,  it would cost £25.00 per hour and take about six weeks 

Will have to save my pennies.

I will ring one of the Agents listed, to see how much they charge

Oh dear - that sounds expensive!
I have used a couple of researchers in Kent and Huntingdonshire to check parish records and they have been very efficient and much cheaper.
If you can't find anyone to help, I could put it on my list of things to do when I go to Truro - but I don't have plans to go in the near future. Is it worth asking on Rootschat?
By the way I see one of your interests is Noy in Cornwall - is that in the St Ives area?

Hi Barbara,

They are from Madron, well at least their daughter was born at Madron, and I haven't gone back any further yet.

Thanks for offering to help with Baptisms....
