Liskeard baptism - John Greenwood BONE c1781 *COMPLETED*

[george12]

  Wondering if anyone has access to Liskeard baptisms 1780-1782
 Looking for parents of my ggg.grandfather John Greenwood BONE born in Liskeard abt 1781. He died at Treludick near Launceston in 1850.

He married Grace ROBERTS nee BATTEN at Landulph, 4 Nov 1804.
Looking for her parents also - she was born at Landulph c 1784 and died at Treludick in 1841. She seems to have married Richard ROBERTS at St Stephens by Saltash, 30 Apr 1800.
He and their son Richard appear to have died shortly thereafter.

LDS and Ancestry search so far proved fruitless in this case.

Grateful for any assistance finding these 4g.grandparents in late 1700's

Cornwall OPC (www.cornwall-opc-database.org) has this in baptisms:

3rd June 1781
Parish of St Dominick (12 miles from Liskeard)
Bone, John

Mother: Elizabeth

Certainly a possibility?!

Hi Kris and KGarrad,
Many thanks for the response to BONE and BATTEN enquiry.

I hadn't looked at Cornwall OPC recently or carefully enough on this matter, so the link again was very helpful.
The 1841 census has John (Greenwood) BONE aged 60, which just scrapes
in to the 1775 birth year (with the up to five year age variation in that census). So John and Sarah as parents seems to fit, and their first dau's unusual name Mellen was passed on by the family.
The only John BONE and Sarah (BEARE) marriage I can find is at Fowey in 1781 - possible I suppose, just before the last of five children is born ..?

So much available online now, a bit still to go.  The Grace BATTEN in Saltash seems very likely - is this a parish record from a particular church ?

You mention 'MI lists ...' for Egloskerry burials - what is MI ?

The GREENWOOD/BONE connection is hard to find, though I see there is a Mr Edward GREENWOOD in Liskeard in 1720's and a John BONE.  The Greenwood name was passed down through at least four earlier generations and a farm named 'Greenwood', so must have been significant.

Appreciate the time and effort you contribute on our behalf ... a point of last resort almost.

Cheers  ... Jim

MI = Monumental/Memorial Inscription

Better known to you and I as gravestones!

Hi Jim,

I did wonder about a possible marriage over the border.

BONE John = GLANVILL Sarah 6 Jun 1769 Whitchurch Devon

Cheers Kris

Hi KGarrad and Kris,

ahh Monumental Inscriptions - I'm not very bright, quite often.

Sarah GLANVILLE seems like a distinct possibility - her parents were John GLANVILLE and Mellin WILCOCKS. As Sarah named her first child Mellen - surely not a coincidence. The 1769 marriage is a more honourable fit also, and Whitchurch is not far away. Many thanks.

One last question for the time being - Elizabeth PERRY, a 3g.grandmother was born at St Ewe about 1798, parents unknown  ...  ??    She married Nicholas TEMBY at Crowan in 1818 and died in Camborne in 1855.   There is a 1799 baptism at St Mewan - are there records for St Ewe that can be checked for a PERRY family. We have sufficient info about the TEMBY family.
Perhaps I should post this as a new Subject  ... Jim

[KGarrad]

The only Elizabeth Perry showing up on Cornwall OPC is one baptised 8th June 1794 in Zennor.

Looking at all the Perry baptisms, they do seem to concentrate on Wendoron, Zennor, Cuby with Tregony and Helston.

KGarrad,
Thanks for looking for Elizabeth Perry. I will start a separate Subject hoping someone knows of or has access to records at or near St Ewe - the 1851 census indicates she was born there in 1798.
Appreciate the help   ...   Jim
