What is it that you are not sure about.  How do you link your tree to this couple.

Hi Rosie and Neale,

Thx so very much for your responses, it is wonderful. I agree with most of the information youboth have provided. I do believe that William was from Madron and Elizabeth from Fowey Cornwall. You are correct about Elizabeth's siblings Neale, my direct ancestor that came to Canada is Samuel Langmaid.Susanna, Elizabeth's mother died in1850 in Portsea. Her father John Lanngmaid was a mariner who I think died at sea just before the last daughter Susanna was born about 1836, meaning it would be unlikely he would have attended Elisabeth and William's marriage. I still am looking for John's birth and death. I believe both Susanna and John were minors when they married.

I have the civil marriage document for Elizabeth and William, but don't have the banns document for them. Is this document on Ancestry? I will need to get a copy of William's bapt document as well :-)

Cheers for now, JDC

JDC, all the records I found were on this site.

When searching for Langmaid, you need to use the wild card function, as the spelling varies so much.

Hi Rosie and Neale,

All the information seems to be fitting together nicely. Thank you both for the help so far.

Good to hear, JDC.
Did you find the baptism for John Langmaid ? - there was one there I thought was probable.

Hi Neale,

No I haven't for either Elizabeth's brother or father John. I have seen possibilities for both. I am still looking into them.

Btw Neale, Elizabeth had 2 sisters named Susanna. The first Susanna was bapt 17 Feb 1822 in Fowey, so I am assuming for the moment she was born sometime in 1820/1 in that area and she died/was buried abt 6 Mar 1832 in Fowey. I am assuming too that John, the father, was alive in 1835 and died prior to the 1841 census since I cannot find him included anywhere. I suppose he could have taken off somewhere, ie North America or Australia?

Cheers, JDC
