Arundel Pryor

[Kaysie]

The name Arundel Pryor seems to have been passed down a fair bit in my family. The earliest one I have was born ~1728/9 to Richard Pryor and Margaret Arundell and I think he was the first. He married Jane Millwood in Sithney and then Joan Chegwin in Phillack (not sure if these places are close together or not). His son, Arundel Pryor (sometimes written Prior) was born in 1862 in Phillack and married Margaret Heart in Crowan. I would be very interested in anyone else who has an Arundel Pryor/Prior in their family either in Cornwall, Wales or Middlesex or anywhere else for that matter.

Other surnames in Cornwall (Sithney, Hayle, Lelant, St Ives, Wendron, Phillack and others) are

ANTHONY
ARUNDELL
BARNICOAT
BECKERLEG
BENNETTS
DUNSTAN
EDDY
FLOYD
GLUYAS
HAWES
JAMES
MORLEY/MURLEY
MORSHEAD/MOORSHEAD
MOYLE
PASCOE
PEARCE
PENBERTHY
TREVITHICK
WATTS
WINTER

I am looking forward to being a member of this list and hope to find lots more family members.

Thanks Kay

Hello Kay,

I'll be back in a few minutes when I've looked at my file, as I have an Arundel PRYOR connected to my family ...... I can't remember which one offhand, but I think he was born in Wendron.

I am also a direct descendant of the MOYLE family from Wendron, so will now go and find some snippets for you! ;)

[Diane Grant-Salmon]

Sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier Kay, but we had unexpected visitors. I'm sorry to tell you that I've mixed up the unusual PRYOR names! It's not Arundel I have after all, but Athanasius! |blush|

Anyway, I'm listing my connection in brief to one branch of the MOYLE family, for as you probably know already, there are several lines of them in Wendron, so now I'm curious as to which *branch* of the Tree you belong to!

Stephen MOYLE m. Alice TEPPAT 12th. April 1755 Helston, Cornwall
Only their married children listed:

1. Alice MOYLE m. Richard PRYOR 06th. June 1772 Wendron, Cornwall
2. *Stephen MOYLE m. Mary TRELEGAN 14th. July 1787 Constantine, Cornwall
3. Elizabeth MOYLE m. Walter PASCOE 12th. June 1780 Wendron, Cornwall
4. John MOYLE m. Rebecca JOHNS 22nd. January 1795 Wendron, Cornwall

One child listed of *Stephen MOYLE & Mary TRELEGAN:

1. Mary MOYLE m. John BOWDEN 26th. January 1815 in Constantine, Cornwall .... they are my Gt.Gt.Gt.Grandparents.

Hi Kay,
My name is Roy. I have alot of info on the Murley/Morley family if you want it. Can you accept a gedcom file. If so, shout.
This info includes some wills.
Do look at the following sites,
West Penwith Resources
St.Erth page.
Best wishes, Roy

Hi Diane

My Moyle connection is through Loveday Moyle born 1790 in Wendron to William Moyle born 1738 and Jane Gluyas born 1745 in Wendron. They married in 1767 in Wendron. Loveday's siblings were Jane, Norah, Ann, Peter, William, John and Edward. Loveday married Thomas Pryor in 1812 in Wendron and he was the son of John Pryor born 1737/38 in Sithney and Mary Stevens born 1742 in Wendron.

Thomas Pryor is my 1st cousin 6 times removed!

Is your Richard Pryor connected to Athanasius Pryor? I have seen that name in various records by have not managed to tie him into any Arundel family.

[Kaysie]

Hi Roy

My connection to the Murley/Morley's is through Jane Pryor born 1760 In Phillack the daughter of Arundel Pryor born 1728/29 in Sithney and Jane Millwood born 1737 in Phillack who were married in 1758 in Sithney. Jane Pryor married Benjamin Murley (born 1756 not sure where) in 1787 in Phillack. Their children were Jane Prior Murley, Mary, Betsy, Benjamin and Arundel. Not sure who Benjamin Snr's parents were. Mary Murley married into the Floyd family in 1812 (Isaac). Benjamin Jnr married Catherine Roberts in 1816 and had 2 sons John and Benjamin. Arundel married another Floyd (Christian) in 1822. Isaac and Christian Floyd had different parents.

Do any of yuor Murley's link up to Pryor? Do you have parents for Benjamin or spouses for his children etc? I would be very interested in those.

I keep an eye on West Penwith and find it a very good reference.

Thanks Kay

[Diane Grant-Salmon]

Hi Kay,

My Moyle connection is through Loveday Moyle born 1790 in Wendron to William Moyle born 1738 and Jane Gluyas born 1745 in Wendron. They married in 1767 in Wendron. Loveday's siblings were Jane, Norah, Ann, Peter, William, John and Edward.

I have the same info with the full dates, but Norah is Norah Ann, plus there were two Williams: b. 28 May 1780 Wendron and b. 06 Mar 1785 Wendron.

Loveday married Thomas Pryor in 1812 in Wendron and he was the son of John Pryor born 1737/38 in Sithney and Mary Stevens born 1742 in Wendron.

Loveday b. 01 Aug 1790 Wendron d. 22 Apr 1834 Wendron aged 44 years, m. Thomas PRYOR 03 Aug 1812 Wendron. I have six children listed with full dates.

John PRYOR m. Mary STEPHENS 24 Dec 1759 Sithney. As you say, John b. 1737/38 ..... a choice of two!

John b. 7 Jan 1737 the son of Richard & Margaret or
John b. 3 July 1738 the son of Henry & Margery

No Mary STEVENS or STEPHENS b. Wendron in 1742, the only one is Mary STEPHENS b. 12 Oct 1737 Wendron, the daughter of James & Joan. The info I was given by someone (so not proved by me) is that John PRYOR m. Mary STEPHENS b. 27 Dec 1742 Perranuthnoe, daughter of Samuel & Mary, so either one of these two? I do have eight children listed altogether for this couple, all b. Sithney.
continued ......

[Diane Grant-Salmon]

continued ......

Is your Richard Pryor connected to Athanasius Pryor? I have seen that name in various records by have not managed to tie him into any Arundel family.

Richard PRYOR b. 08 Oct 1749 Wendron, son of John PRYOR m. Anna PRYOR 01 Nov 1740 Wendron.
Anna b. 10 Oct 1718 Wendron, daughter of William PRYOR m. Mary BOLITHO 09 Sep 1703 Wendron, so no connection to Arundel or Athanasius.

The Athanasius connection is:
Athanasius PRYOR m. Eleanor Whitford 29 Apr 1745 Cury - their son:
Thomas PRYOR b. 06 Jan 1749 Wendron m. Mary Gluvias 02 Oct 1774 Wendron - their daughter:
Eleanor PRYOR b. 04 Jun 1775 Wendron m. Ralph HODGE 01 Mar 1794 Wendron - their son:
William HODGE b. 27 Jul 1798 Wendron m. Susanna MOYLE* 19 Aug 1822 Wendron their daughter:
Eleanor HODGE b. 24 Jul 1824 Wendron m. William BOWDEN 21 Feb 1847 Wendron - their son:
William BOWDEN b. Dec Qtr. 1847 Wendron.
Eleanor died in the same Qtr. so possibly during or just after childbirth? The widowed William BOWDEN m. Mary KEVERN 08 Mar 1849 Helston (these two are my Gt.Gt. Grandparents) and to my shame, they *dumped* William b. 1847 on his maternal Grandparents (William & Susanna HODGE) to bring up!

Susanna MOYLE* descends from:
Bennet MOYLE m. Susannah ANDREW
James MOYLE m. Jenipher JOHN
Stephen MOYLE m. Dorothy MEDLYN

[Kaysie]

Hi Roy

Thanks for the information on the Murley/Morleys. I don't think I need to go back further then Benjamin (born ~1756) as my connection to them is through his wife Jane Pryor. Do you have anything forward from there? i.e. info on Benjamin and Jane's children, DOB, marriages for another generation or two?

That would help me fill in a bit more. Please let me know if you come across any more Pryors. I am also interested in ANTHONY and PEARCE in Cornwall.

Thanks Kay

[royston]

Hi Kay,
I have 5 children for Jane and Benjamin,

Benjamin married Catherine Roberts 01 aug 1816 she buried 13 april 1821
Mary married John Hutchens 29 july 1809
These generations go on somewhat. Still happy to send you the gedcom if you want it.
Best wishes, Roy

[Kaysie]

Hi Roy

Thanks for the information. I had Mary Murley marrying Isaac Floyd/Flood - do you know for sure it was John Hutchens? The Floyd marriage was in Phillack. I also wondered if Christian and Isaac were related. Do you have children for Jane, Mary, Benjamin and Arundell and their partners?

I am OK without the gedcom right now but if I decide to delve further I will let you know. I am still trying to sort out all the various Pryor families at the moment.

Thanks Kay

[Kaysie]

Thanks Diane, I will keep hunting. If you should "turn up" any more Pryor, Pearce or Anthony please let me know.

Kay

[LlanelliMarker]

Kay,
The Dunstan name is a very common forename in our family, my late mother and brother carried the tradition, as now does my son.
It came from my Great Grandmother Ella Josepha Dunstan, 1853-1908, when she married my Gt. Grandfather William Marker of Llanelli in Truro in 1872. Beyond her I have traced back to my Gt.x4 Grandfather Nicholas Dunstan b. 1757 and possibly to a Gt.x7 Grandfather Hugh Dunstone 1666-1729 (b.m.d. in Mawnam).
An interesting family story concerns Ella. She was very strong willed and when her husband took her back to the Welsh-speaking Markers in Llanelli they refused to speak English except in dire neccessity. As a consequence she swore her children would never speak Welsh. As my parents were cousins, my grandfathers were brothers. The first, born in Truro bore out her wish, but my Mum's Dad, born in Llanelli taught himself the language but sadly did not pass it to his children, or to me.

If you want any of the info I have regarding the intervening Dunstans, just ask, meanwhile I'll return to my labours in Llanelli!

[Kaysie]

Hi David

My connection to the Dunstan family is through my Pryor family. It is interesting to note though that you also have connections in Truro and Llanelli.

When I began tracing the Pryors I found them in Cornwall first and then a branch moved to Llanelli and set up there. Do you have any connection to the Pryor family in Llanelli?

Kay

[MarkJ]

Waves hand in air....
I have Dunstans in my tree. The ones I have originated in the Kea/Feock area near Truro, then those with direct connection to me moved inland to Grampound.

I have several photos of gravestones for Dunstans from Feock, Kea etc if you are interested. I am happy to look through what I have if it is of use. I know I have a Nicholas from Feock in the tree.

Mark

[Kaysie]

Hi Mark

I have Dunstans from Lelant and Mabe. One of the Dunstan's married into my Pryor family from Wendron. Then a Charity Dunstone (b 1716) married into my Pearce family when she married William in 1738. Her father was Nicholas Dunstone. I don't know of any from the Kea/Feock area as yet - but thanks for the offer.

Kay

[MarkJ]

No problem - but if you ever come across any link to the area, let me know!
There are Dunstone family members there as well as Dunstan - so far they seem to be two distinct families in the Feock area. I suspect there was some cross over with spelling which may link the different families, but I have not researched into that so far.

[Kaysie]

Hi John

I was looking over your list of Pryors from Camborne Area Mining family and although my list starts out with the same individuals it quite quickly changes to a whole new set of individuals who ended up in Australia.

We start off the same with Henry PRYOR (abt 1802-1886) who married Jane (Abt 1792-1863) nee SCHOLARin 1823.

Their daughter Betsy (abt 1824-1913) who married John WILLS in 1843 and all their children.

Then I have Henry Thomas PRYOR (born 1825) who married Elizabeth DAY in 1848.

Next I have William Penaluna PRYOR (1827-1904) who married Ann WEBB in Australia.

There are then 6 other children most of whom went to Australia.

Henry born 1803 was the son of Henry ~1769) & Elizabeth Pryor (~1771) and that Henry was the son of John (Henry) Pryor (1746) and Elizabeth JEFFERY
((~1758). He was the son of Henry PRYOR (1719) and Margaret JEFFRIES (1723). Whose son was Wearne PRYOR (1688) who married Avis GUNDRY (1692).

Do you think we have any sort of connection with the older generations or are we two completely different sets of the same family? I found my information from someone's website so I am not sure if it is absolutely correct. I thought if we went a few generations back there might be a common ancestor.

Kay

[annewilson]

Hi Diane

Something about Thomas Pryor rang a bell and my notes show that Thomas was the brother of my gg??xgrandmother Zenobia Odgers born 1782 in Wendron. Zenobia married Samuel Odgers in 1804 in Wendron and their daughter Zenobia Odgers and her husband Nicholas Knuckey emigrated to NZ in the 1840s

Anne

[Diane Grant-Salmon]

Hi Anne,

I'm a bit pushed for time today, so will get back to you tomorrow. Yes, I have Zenobia in my file, she was baptised 29 March 1782 Wendron, she's the daughter of Simon Pryor m. Jane Prisk.

Is this what you wanted to know?

[miandetta]

Kay
I know this is an old message but I have only just joined up.

I have found a William PEARCE married to a Charity PRY(I)OR 5/7/1794. I believe that Charity was bap. 4/8/1766 in Sithney and her parents are Henry PRY(I)OR and Margaret.
William PEARCE married 3 times and Charity was his third wife. I have 6 children from the marriage. Between the 3 marriages there are 17 children.

My connection is with his second wife Ann VINE marr. 15/2/1783. Their daughter Miriam married John RICHARDS.
His first wife was Miriam ELLIS marr 30/9/1765.

If there is any connection would love to hear from you
Thanks
Sue

[Kaysie]

Hi Sue

I believe we have a connection but some of my information is different from yours.

1. "Charity was bap. 4/8/1766 in Sithney and her parents are Henry PRY(I)OR and Margaret"
I have Charity's parents as Arundel Pryor and Jane Millwood.

2. "William PEARCE married 3 times and Charity was his third wife. I have 6 children from the marriage. Between the 3 marriages there are 17 children."
My William marryied two times, Charity as his first wife died 1812, and Grace Hocking was his second wife (Married 21 Aug 1813 Phillack) He was born about 1770

3. "His first wife was Miriam ELLIS marr 30/9/1765"
I have Miriam Ellis, born about 1742, as his mother and his father was also William, born abt 1738.

4. "My connection is with his second wife Ann VINE marr. 15/2/1783. Their daughter Miriam married John RICHARDS"
I have Ann Vine as the second wife but to William Snr nor William Jnr.

I have a daughter named Miriam Pearce born 1783 to William and Ann but also another daughter named Miriam Pearce born 1798 to William and Charity - what dates do you have for your Miriam.

My connection to this line is through the Pearce and Pryor family and then the Pearce's married into the ANTHONY family and that is my main line of research.

I would be glad to share any other information with you.

Kaysie

[miandetta]

Thanks for getting back to me Kay.

This is the information that I have which may help.

3rd marriage William Pearce to Charity Pryor marr 5/7/1794. Charity bap. 4/8/1766 Sithney parents Henry Pryor and Margaret
Children
1. Elizabeth bap 8/3/1795
2. Miriam bap 3/6/1798
3. William bap 13/4/1800
4. Mary bap 28/5/1803
5. Anna bap 9/6/1805 d. 3/11/1805
6. Charity bap 8/5/1808

Maybe what I thought was a 3rd marriage for William Snr is actually his son William jnr bap 3/12/1770.

Hope this all helps

[hpearce]

Hi!
I have a William PEARCE marrying a Charity DUNSTONE
17 June 1738 Wendron, Cornwall.
I descend from their youngest child Nicholas PEARCE
bapt. 2 May 1756 Constantine, Cornwall.
He married Jane REED 1 Mar. 1778 Constantine.
I find it strange that the name "Charity" doesn't
appear in my line.
Heather

[miandetta]

Heather
I think your William Pearce is a different person to my William Pearce. YOur William married 3 years before mine. Perhaps they come from the same family line but a different branch or there may be no connection whatsoever. I haven't gone any further with mine at this stage.

Sue

[hpearce]

Hi! Sue & Kay,
It does get so confusing when the same names keep popping up.
But it's good to know there's a connection with our
PEARCE lines back there somewhere.
Thanks for sharing,
Heather

Re William Pearce
Hi Sue,
I have been looking at your posts about William Pearce & Charity Pryor, this William was, as you say, bap 3/12/1770 Phillack son of William Pearce & Miriam Ellis as you know she died in 1781 & he then married Ann Vine. It was William jnr who married Charity Pryor in 1794 but her parents were Arundel Pryor & Jane Millward, Charity was bap10/07/1768 Wendron. William & Charity had 7 children their son William bap 03/04/1800 Phillack married Harriet Vivian, one of their children was named Arundel Pryor Pearce so I think this gives an indication of the family line
Harriet Vivian Pearce 1825
Charity Pryor Pearce 1826
William Pearce 1828
John Vivian Pearce 1830
Arundel Pryor Pearce 1834
Mary Vivian Pearce 1836
Charlotte Pearce 1838
Vivian Pearce 1845
I have the death certificate for William Pearce born 1770 he died in 1847 & present at the death was his Grandson John Vivian Pearce who was my Great Grandfather x 2
I have found it very confusing with so many William Pearce's around but having visited the Truro records Office I hope I have managed to get it right.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find any positive info regarding William who married Miriam Ellis all it has on the marriage certificate was he was a "tinner from Gwinnear.

My line is with William Pearce and Ann Vine. Their daughter Miriam married JOhn Richards in 1802. This Richards line is what I am following. I havent followed the Pearce path as yet but will in time.
