MARTYN Family of St Columb Minor

[krisesjoint]

Right.

I am not seeing an obvious connection here but do not have time to study the tree so hopefully others will find it. These recoprds do tend to indicate these were also well to do families.

Samuel MARTYN aged 61 of Higher Porth was buried 18 Oct 1838 St Columb Minor

which seems to indicate

Samuel MARTYN was baptised 18 Nov 1776 St Columb Minor parents Samuel and Elizabeth

Samuel MARTYN otp officer in the customs = Elizabeth NICHOLLS otp spinster by Licence 12 Aug 1769 St Columb Minor both signed witnesses Thomas Nicholls and Richard Nicholls

Hi All
I expect that people are aware that the first Samuel Martyn of Porth was first married to Margaret Martyn, daughter of Joseph, who died in childbirth. And while I am here does anyone have anything more on their son Richard's family than is on the tree? I know that Richard & his (second) wife were in Plymouth c1814

Best wishes

Hi,
Thankyou everyone for the information posted so far. It certainly makes interesting reading.
Apologies for assuming the marriage of a Martyn/Cardell was somehow marrying beneath themselves, they were my grandmothers words many years ago. I know the Martyns were very well off, the oil painting I have took sometime to complete and the subject had to travel many times to London by horse and carriage, not cheap or easy by any standard!
Will have to have a look at the painting again to see if i can piece together who it might be...i'm pretty sure they are dated.

Thankyou also to Terri, look forward to receiving any info you have.

Dear Kris - and others

I'm another descendant of the Martyns of St Columb Minor - one of my
g4grandmothers being Mary Martyn (1770-1845), daughter of John M
and Gertrude Hiscutt.  She married James Liddell (ca. 1765-1839),
who started a family business as printer and stationer in Bodmin in
about 1787 that lasted well into the 20th C.
They married in St Columb Minor in 1793, and had 10 children
(and about 40 grandchildren- virtually all the 19th C  Liddells
in Cornwall are descended from them - so much easier to sort than
all those Martyns!).  Their 4th son, William Liddell (1802-1854), was a
surgeon who emigrated to Madras with his family in 1833 and became
Coroner of Madras; the attached photo is of his eledest daughter,
my g2grandmother, Susan Gertrude Liddell (1828-1911), probably
from around the time of her marriage in 1847 to a scottish east
india merchant, George Walker (1818-1904).  I have a diary of
theirs for 1860-63, when they were living in Wimbledon (with
George still running his company in Madras).

With best wishes

Do you have any more on James Liddell?

Hi

Wow, what can I say, a veritable treasure trove of info on Symons, Martyns, Turnavines, Johns,, Bonythons etc - and new to this thread, by way of introduction, my line of ancestry begins with my grandmother Violet Symons, dau of William Henry Simons-(Elizabeth Jane Smith), son of John Symons (whose wife was Ann Musson), son of Samuel Symons (marr to Harriet Cobbledick), son of Samuel whose wife was Gertrude Martyn born abt 29 Nov 1766.

My mother Venus had her middle name as Gertrude, no doubt given to her by her mother Violet.

This Martyn-Symons/etc tree is a very difficult one, with so many inter marriages. I am at the perplexed stage but very appreciative of the efforts of so many to present this material that seems to go back, although I cannot directly show my Symons back to Shaa etc as yet.

I would love to make contact or hear from you cousins, if this thread is still going, the latest of which appears top be September 2009.

Cheers

Hi Keith
Great to hear from another cousin. I found you in my records, and the programme says we are sixth cousins. Do I take it that you are a fellow Australian?

Ding

[Symons Oz]

Hi Ding

Yes, I am an Australian living in Melbourne - hello to you sixth cousin or is that 3rd cousin removed three times! BTW - bhopw were you able to work out we were cousins? Maybe you saw Violet on the chart?

I hope to be able to add to this thread or the show the genealogy of my family to add to the 'confusion' although much of mine is straight forward - no cousins marrying cousins or choosing the second name of a friend who is also a cousin etc!

I don't know how to email you or use this rootschat off air to write to you but I wish to share anyway. I'd like to establish clear lines back to the beginning (no, not to Adam and Eve, that would be too easy when there are the Symons and Martyns to negotiate a path for me

Cheers
Keith
