Trish, those Holman baptisms are in the Wesleyan Church, so looks like the family were non-conformist. IGI has Jecoliah - wonder if it's a mistranscription of Josiah?

Possibly . See below;

Hi Ospry,
Looks like Josiah was a different child;

Looks to me like they moved around a lot
Must admit I am getting confused.
Trying to find all the Children is like a needle in a haystack.
If they married 1804 then there must be other Children.
So far we have;
Jerusha 1807
Lecolish/Jecoliah 1815
William 1817
JOSIAH, Christened 14 Oct 1821, Gwennap to James/Grace (F/S Pilot)
Emily 1825

Elizabeth from 1841 Census may be a Wife or Daug?
Cant find anything for her.

Hi Blacky55,
So I guess you are in Australia if you are descended from Josiah?

just looked at the original of the 1841 and there's a line between Jerusha & Elizabeth, so she may not be part of the family.
