I found him, in Probus, on the 1841 Census, unfortunately he was not with his family.

Hi Bo peep

Thanks very much, where did you get this information from? would like to find out more!

[Bobdog]

Hi Nicolina,

Yes thank you, have that already, trying to get information on his Parents and further back.

Thanks again

[Bobdog]

ok thanks, just one thing, I'm looking for Bennetts and not Bennett could this be a mistake on the records and they meant Bennetts, or has the 'S' been added afterwards, just don't want to do down the wrong road reseaching the family tree

you will find varients of most names in your research. S at the end of a name can easily be mis-read as a squiggle and missed off in transcription.

There were Miners family members in Ladock in the mid 1800s too if that is of any use. Ladock is an adjacent parish.

It would probably be a good idea to get the marriage certificate for James and Louisa - that should give you both fathers' names and with a bit of luck, there will be related witnesses.
In case you don't have the details to order the certificate -

June quarter 1848 Truro district
volume 9 page 374
and the names as recorded were -
James BENNETTS
and
Louisa MINERS

Anybody help me with how I can get a copy of James Bennetts (James Bennett) birth cert, born in Probus in 1825, possibly son of Henry & Mary Bennett.
