Rogers and Thomas family search

[AntonP]

Kay, on 18 October 1888 he was in the county of Amader (spelling?), California applying for USA citizenship. On 11 October 1892 he was in Silver Bow, Montana at the 'District court of the second judicial district of the state of Montana, County of Silver Bow' again about his citizenship. Interestingly the 1892 document says he said he had resided in the USA for the last 5 years and in Montana for the last 1 year.  As he was not in the 1891 census he must have come back after that date to Cornwall to marry Annie Alice Pascoe in Sept 1891. Millicent, their only child was born May (?)1892.  So then he went back to the US as per the October 1892 court record. Then he came back to  Cornwall possibly in 1894 to die in August 1894.
I have just found out an important point that due to the unemployment in Cornwall he moved to the USA to try and find a better life. In Montana with another friend he planned to run a pub. Obviously his cancer made him return home to family.
James died at an address in Trevenson street which is close to a Wesleyan  chapel in Chapel street but the chapel his wife and daughter and Elizabeth Pascoe are buried in is the Centenary Wesleyan Chapel located at the top of Trelowarren Street.
Kay, again thanks so much for all your research, its been incredibly helpful. Anton

Kay, Osprey
Thanks for the correction Kay and also confirmation of burial Osprey.

I need to slightly readjust his probable travel dates to and from the USA.
He might have travelled to the USA 5 years before 1892 per his statements to the court in 1892. ie in about 1888.
On  18 October 1888 he was in the county of Amader (spelling?), California applying for USA citizenship at the age of 27.
He must have come back after that date to Cornwall to marry Annie Alice Pascoe in Sept 1890.
Millicent, their only child was born May 1891.
He was not found in the 1891 UK census.
He then went back to the USA at some time later as on 11 October 1892 he was in Silver Bow, Montana at the 'District court of the second judicial district of the state of Montana, County of  had resided in the USA for the last 5 years and in Montana for the last 1 year.
Then he came back to  Cornwall possibly in 1894 to die in August 1894.

Millicent Thomasine Roger's husband, Edward Cecil Thomas b  June qtr1890, died March 1955 had a father Henry Thomas and the mother might have been a Mitchell per the birth registration. Would it be stretching the 'friendship' to ask if the Thomas side of the family could be traced back a bit in time as you seem to have access to great records? Edward Cecil Thomas left his wife but never divorced and moved to St Ives where he had another partner.
Thanks again for all your information.

Osprey
Thank you so much for all this information! I have my head down and now able to follow further back.
William Russel - what a coincidence but doing the various family histories I have found that so often the histories of different families have links. As the parish clerk, William's name must be on hundreds of certificates.
Interesting seeing the name Penaluna come up. Have done a quick read up on its origin and seems its based around or from Cornwall and the story is its from Spanish traders/sailors (tin?) who settled there and some even claim its from the armada but there is no proof of the latter.
Again, thanks for all your time.
