MATTHEWS in Cornwall

[krisesjoint]

I think it is the same person Althea.  Though the extracted record doesn't indicate his status John appears to have remarried in Redruth to Joanna AMBROSE 9 Jun 1822

Hi Kris
Was that Joanna from St Agnes?
1851 census
MATTHEWS   Joanna   Head   U   F   89   Pauper    Cornwall - St Agnes     
"Piece: HO107/1918 Place: Penzance -Cornwall Enumeration District: 2d
Civil Parish: St. Hilary Ecclesiastical Parish: -
Folio: 103 Page: 39 Schedule: 134

If there wasn't a mistake, maybe she was really unmarried, and a sister? of John

Hi Althea,

Hi Althea and Kris,
Just amazed at all these messages rushing around the world. A bit of snow around today, so it was indoors stuff for me. Have just found the death of Joanna Matthews - 5 Feb. 1855 in St.Hilary. Her age was 93 which was amazing for those years.
My next move will be out to the LDS Library this week to order the film of those marriages. That might give me some positive leads.
Again, many thanks.
Peter

I'm sorry I can't aid anyone in their search but I'd like to place my lineage in this MATTHEWS thread.  Maybe there is a connection somewhere. 

William Hosking married Elizabeth Matthews May 18th 1788 at Phillack, Cornwall. They had 3 children. 
Catherine bp. 29th November 1789
Elizabeth bp. 29th April 1792
Richard bp. 28th July 1798

Their daughter, Elizabeth - 1792 - 1850 married John Trestrail 1784 - 1824. They had 6 children.
John Trestrail bp 7 June 1811
Richard Trestrail bp 13 Spetember 1812
Elizabeth Trestrail bp 12 March 1815
William Trestrail bp 8 March 1818
James Trestrail bp 7 May 1820
Thomas Trestrail bp 9 March 1823

Their son, William Trestrail, 1818 - 1904, married Eliza Powning, and they had 5 children. 
Mary Jane Trestrail bp december 1844
Elizabeth Ann Trestrail bp 1849
Charlotte Powning Trestrail bp December 1855
Thomas G. Powning Trestrail bp March 1861
Eliza Emily (Minnie) Trestrail bp June 1866

Their daughter, Eliza Emily (Minnie) Trestrail, born 1866 had a son out of wedlock on Feb. 26, 1886. He was my grandfather whose name was Percy Powning Trestrail.

Eliza Emily Minnie Trestrail married a William Henry Jenkin in March 1893, and they had a few children.  William Jenkin died in 1908.  I did not know my grandfather had half siblings until I started searching my ancestry.  I know their second child was a son.
I'd love to find out who my grandfather's father was.  It is unknown but in some documents is the name Albert Trestrail for his father.  He had an uncle named Albert Trestrail.

I'd also like to know more about my great gt gt gt gt gt gt grandmother Elizabeth Matthews and who her parents were.

Does anyone have a connection to my Matthews, Hosking, Powning, Trestrail lineage?

By mistake I have the settlement certificate dated 1842 of John Matthews of St Hilary, this John Matthews was about 33, his wife was Ann, children Stephen about 7, John about 6, Mary Ann about 2 and Charity about 1 month, hope the info is of use to someone
