Hello Ambers
Just a bit more information please.
Did your Richard marry in Penzance RD in 1898? Which church - or was it the Register Office? What was his occupation and where were he and Eliza Jane living?  Was Eliza a widow?
Have you found the couple on the 1901 census and do you have a death date for Richard?
Just trying to get the whole picture so that we don't go wrong again!
Barbara

Hi Barbara F,

Marriage June 22 1898. The Parish Church,St Just. By Banns

Richard Eddy 27?--Bachelor --Pendeen---Miner--Father Richard Eddy Miner.

Eliza Jane Thomas--24--Spinster-- Higher Tregesal--Father. Nicholas Thomas--Miner.
Witnesses: John and Margaret Mathews.

1901 Census.RG 13/2257 F66 P11
Living with her mother Eliza Thomas -58- at Higher Tregeseal
Janie Eddy (Eliza Jane) dau--married 26
Richard Eddy--G/son--2

I can't find Richard Eddy in the 1901 census, he is not in Durham with the rest of the family.
This Richard Eddy was dead by March 1903 from his daughters Doris Eddy birth certificate March 1903.
One death registered for a Richard Eddy 1902, in the Will there was no mention of a wife or two children...this is the family I previously had thought I was connected to.

Janie Thomas didn't re-marry until the end of 1908, which was odd in those days, there is also a death for a Richard Eddy 1907
She had gave his profession as a Gold miner on birth certificates of children BUT on Richard Eddy b1899 Marriage he said his father was a COAL miner.

The St Ives Richard Eddy was a tin miner, then coal miner, so possibly could have got involved with Gold mining after meeting Janie because her family were.

One lesson I learned...going wrong can cost a lot of money..and then you have to start again

Thanks for that Ambers.

So this death reg

Deaths Sep 1902   
Eddy  Richard  31  Penzance  5c 153

is definitely not your man? Do you know which Richard Eddy he was?

Have you found baptisms for the 2 children?  If not, I will see if I can find anything in case they give any more clues about their father.

Birth Certificates for Richard and Janie's Eddy's children:

Richard Eddy.
1st January 1899--father Richard Eddy--Gold Miner. Mother Eliza Jane Eddy formerly Thomas:  Higher Tregeseal, St Just.

Doris Eddy
22 March 1903--father Richard Eddy (DECEASED) Gold Miner. Mother  Eliza Jane Eddy formerly Thomas: Higher Tregeseal, St Just.

The other family:
Richard Eddy that died 1902 ,at 31 years was the son of Richard Eddy and Sarah Trembath...all details appeared to match until I received the Will. He had left something to each of his siblings and his mother, it was written a month before his death.

Going back to the Eddy's that moved to Durham, I contacted someone from this family some time ago, from memory John and Thomas married two sisters in Durham but she didn't know what had happened to Richard either or that his father had married twice.

My family gossip 

Richard Eddy born 1899, always said he was a Devon man born and bred, No, he was born  in St Just, Cornwall but moved to Devon when his mum re-married when he was nine.
Of the Gold nougat he had been passed on to him, it came from his uncle who had been a Gold Miner in Johannesburg...did he never see his birth cert because it says his dad was a Gold Miner .
On his marriage cert he says his dad was a Coal miner.. Doris his sister just states her dad to be a miner on her marriage cert.
 
With Janie also not re-marrying until about seven years later...I am beginning to wonder if there is more to the family than what was spoken about.

Thanks for the extra info Ambers.
Looks as though it could be complicated! Will see what I can dig up on Thursday.
Have you considered that Richard might have gone abroad as lots of Cornish miners did?
Barbara

Hello Barbara...I do appreciate your interest very much.

I too wonder if he turned his hand to Gold Mining and went abroad and died there, the births certs of his children say he was a Gold Miner...so he must have been at sometime.
He and the other Richard Eddy (Sarah Trembaths son Gold Miner) appear to be the only ones I can't trace on the 1901.

If I could find a family connection with the St Ives family in St Just, it might help.

I have followed through all the other Richard Eddy's and their families born  1868-1874 ....and those two appeared the only possibles because their fathers were Tin Miners.

Wish I could be there Thursday, and many thanks for giving your time to help me.
