Hi Mick,|wave|

Welcome aboard! Is that a Cornish MOYLE?

[Mickyboy]

HI Mark, I've been using genes reunited, ancestry and any other site I can find, some are beter than others. Any suggestions as to the better ones to use would be most welcome. Cheers

[Mickyboy]

Hi Bo Peep. Yes cornish lineage so far Stephen Moyle/ Alice Tepat. Constantine Wendron areas

Ah - I meant area as in part of the country. But this forum does have some very knowledgeable people who will be able to give you some new leads I expect. As you have probably found, researching your tree does involve using many different methods of discovering things.
Are you in Cornwall yourself? If so, then the FHS in Truro, the County Records Office and the Courtenay library (at the museum) are all well worth a visit.

[Mickyboy]

Sorry, no I am not in Cornwall, I live in Milton Keynes. Have you heard of Norman Moyle. He is in America and runs a Moyle family tree site. You have to become a member but there is lots of great stuff on the site with loads of tree.

Hi Mick,

They are my 4xGt. Grandparents. :) My line of descent is then:

Stephen MOYLE 1759-1811 m. Mary TRELEGAN
Mary MOYLE 1788 m. John BOWDEN

Which twig on the tree are you? ;)

[GeoffD]

Moyle ... Moyle ... that rings a bell. (Rushes off and opens family tree software.)

Janet Moyle HOSKING b.c.1826, Penzance d.March Q 1886 in St Saviour District. Married Bennett DREW, 21 August 1843 in St Leonards, Shoreditch. Bennett and Jane lived out their married life in Newington, Surrey.

Must go searching for how she got the Moyle bit into her given names.

-----------------------
Oh, and by way of introduction, I'm Geoff Drew and, being a colonial, have ancestors from sundry places. Know most about by Cornwall (DREW, HARRIS, TALLACK, BENNETT) and East Devon (DYER, WHITE, PAVER, BRIDLE) mobs, a fair bit about the Essex lot (BRIGHTWELL, DACE), something about the Wiltshire lot (TUCKER) and not very much at all about those that came out of Fermanagh (HALL).

[Bo Peep]

Is this the lass?

St. Hilary
Jane Moyle HOSKING dau of Henry & Polly, 15th. April, 1827. Father - Blacksmith.

Best match I've seen so far, Bo Peep. I hadn't looked in St Hilary, mainly because I didn't have a clue where it was - maybe I should make a nice map of the parishes of Cornwall (or at least West Penwith). Every other Jane Hosking I've found (Penzance, Madron, Paul, etc.) didn't have the Moyle bit in it. Should send off for the marriage certificate I suppose. Looks to me a bit like young Bennet and Janet eloped to the Big Smoke.

Marriages September Quarter 1843
DREW Bennet Shoreditch 2 362
HOSKING Jane Moyle Shoreditch 2 362

Anyway, many thanks for that.

Later: Looked again at 1841 Census, Jane Hosking by Jane Hosking until I found Henry and Polly.
Name: Jane Hosking
Age: 20
Estimated birth year: abt 1821
Gender: Female
Where born: Cornwall, England

Civil parish: Madron
Hundred: Penwith
County/Island: Cornwall
Country: England

Street address:

Occupation:

Registration district: Penzance
Sub-registration district: Penzance

Household Members:
Name Age
Alice Hosking 20
Ann Hosking 16
Henry Hosking 50
Henry Hosking 25
Jane Hosking 20
Mary Hosking 25
Polly Hosking 60

Henry Senior and Henry Junior both working as Smiths. Living in Market Jew Street which places them in close proximity to members of the Drew mob as Bennet was living in Marine Terrace in 1841, further reinforcing the possibility that this is indeed the correct Jane Moyle Hosking. It also raises the possibility that Bennet and Jane were some form of cousins, as Bennet's mother was Eliza HOSKING. Further support for this being the correct Jane is the name of one of her daughters, Polly Moyle DREW.

Hi Geoff,
If you go to www.cornish-forefathers.com (http://www.cornish-forefathers.com) you can download a map of the parishes in Cornwall which you may find useful.

[GeoffD]

Thanks BoPeep. I have trouble with the fact that places that are located so close together are clearly considered to be so different. I must print out a big map with a scale on it.

Oh yes - we are quite "funny" in Cornwall about places! Try asking a Camborne man if he is from 'druth or worse, Hayle and St Ives! Only a couple of miles apart, yet there are real historical reasons why they do not like to be referred to as being from the other place!
Here in mid Cornwall, just up the road from me, are three villages - Fraddon, Indian Queens and St Columb Road. The places where they were once seperated are now built over, so all three just run into each other. But the old boundaries still exist - you may not be able to see them, but they are there! You dare not ask if someone lives in Queens if they live the other side of one of those invisible marks!

Hi to everybody again, Diane so far I have: Stephen 1716-1792/ Alice Tepet 1735-1790 son Stephen 1759-112/Mary Trelegon 1766-1809 several children Mary, Ann, Elizabeth, William, John, Margaret, Jane and Eliza. My tree then goes from William 1795-1874/Grace Kempthorne 1802-???? several children Edward, William, Eliza, John and Josiah. From Josiah 1835-1906/ Ann Bowden ????-???? They had some children my branch goes from Harry 1862-????/ Mary Ann Phillips 1873 one child only my granddad William Henry 1893-1948/Mabel Newel 1895-1982. Then my father who was one of many children Ronald Victor 1929-2006. I have an elder brother Anthony Victor and a younger sister Janet Patricia. I have a son and daughter from my first marrage Darren Michael and Gemma Louise. Gemma has two children Jacob 4 and Jessica 1. I also have two sons from my second marrage John Michael and Lee Kevin.

Just a breif history of my line, looks like we're distant cousins. Have you been researching your family long? I am very new to it and have spent a small fortune on various sites looking up censuses and records etc, and the amount of dead ends is so frustrating.

[Diane Grant-Salmon]

Hi Mick,

To be honest, I gave up with the 'extended' Moyle family some years ago, as Wendron seemed to be populated with 90% of all Moyle's! |banghead|

Too many of the same forenames, (including their wives) having children with same names, at the same time, to be certain of which children belonged to which family etc.

Even with the baptisms CD for Wendron, which I purchased from Cornish Forefathers Society a few years ago, it was difficult to sort out who was who!

I have eight children for Stephen & Mary, (same names as you have) and the same five children as you for William & Grace. I have your Josiah listed in my file, but showing as unmarried, as I stopped there on other branches.

Do you happen to know who the Ann BOWDEN was he married? I wonder if she was one of my lot?

[Mickyboy]

Not done any research on her yet, but will let you have any information I find out. If theres any info you would like regarding Josiah if I have it will let you have it

So, "This is a local shop, for local people" is a documentary, not a comedy sketch? :D

[Diane Grant-Salmon]

Well, I couldn't have worked out our relationship, but Family Tree Maker did and it turns out that we are 5th cousins :)

Rather than type out the details of my descent on here, if you wish, I can send you a genealogy report, (which would be an attachment to an email) direct to you at home? I've got your email address from your profile.

[rioja_pauline]

Hi everyone,
I joined this morning, I was born in Birmingham and now live in Spain, I have just checked out the Parish Chest and was able to order a genealogy magazine, for me that just great, where I live up in the mountains near to Granada, English magazines are few and far between. I have been researching my tree for about 10 months and find it totally absorbing. I do not have broadband and my internet connection is very slow and somedays it just cuts out, so it makes researching twice as difficult, but I am lucky to have a connection anyway. I hope to find other members researching Bohemia family from Cornwall, Hooper from Pontypridd, Morgan from Cardiff (Tin St) and Follows from Staffs. (Lichfield).
Cheers Pauline

[MarkJ]

Hi Pauline - and welcome :)

I had not come across the surname Bohemia before in Cornwall, so I did a very swift check on the censuses and discovered several entries. They seem to be in the St Austell/St Blazey area in the main. With it being quite an unusual surname here, I expect they would be fairly good to trace back.

Mark

[rioja_pauline]

Hi MarkJ, thanks for the welcome, I have information on the Bohemia side of the family, several marriages births etc. in Charleston Cornwall but I am wondering if the Bohemias came from Bohemia which back then was one of the Germanic States and now called Prague in Czech Republic, but I do not know how to research that far back. I woinder if anyone can help.
Cheers Pauline

Landeryou, Cornwall, n London.

What part of Cornwall is your LANDERYOU family from?

[Smurfette]

Hello Bo Peep...

Landeryou family are from, Chacewater, Truro, Constantine, Keywyn areas, as you can see scattered about a bit...

Then later mid 1800s, moved down to London, Camden town/Kentish town areas......

[GeoffD]

Digging around a bit, and I've found my Jane Moyle Hosking in a tree at the A-place. Possible that her mother, Polly, was Polly MOYLE of Gwennap or thereabouts.

[Bo Peep]

Hi Geoff,
I have this lass. Any good?
Baptisms - Gwennap
Polly MOYLE dau of Richard & Jane, 04th. June, 1780.

Estimated birth year (form Census) is 1779, so looks very good. Thanks, Bo Peep.

But what I really want to do is see if there is any relationship between Henry Hoksing, the blacksmith chappie father of Jane Moyle Hosking and Jane's mother in law, Eliza Hosking. Henry was a St Hilary chap born about 1792, and Eliza was born in Ludgvan about 1797. And I know there are HOSKING all over the place, and then there are the HOSKIN lot, of which I have many from Mousehole.
