Research Notes
William and Mary's children
This is made tricky by Mary's surname (definitely Paul from the
FHO
marriage record) - if we see Mary Paul as the mother in a christening
record, we are never sure if it is the married or maiden name. And
often we just get Mary. There are two William and Mary Paull families
having children at the same time. For example there are two Elizabeths
in FHO, born to William and Mary Paull. one in St Agnes on 3 May
1807, and one in Calstock on 5 Mar 1807. William Paul married
Mary Tonkin in 1784 in St Agnes. LDS has a record of William P
marrying Mary P in St Agnes in 19 Jan 1796, but I would be inclined to
believe FHO's 19 Jan 1795
So we havee the following, in date order
James St Agnes (=LDS, married in Calstock 1823)
Jenny St Agnes (=LDS)
William St Agnes (=FHO, 1841 Census
Calstock)
Walter 23 Mar 1800 St Agnes
(=FHO) << definite no, on
dates
Mary Anne 18 May 1800 Calstock (=FHO)
Grace Calstock (=FHO)
John St Agnes
(=FHO) << No, on
location
Joseph Calstock (=FHO)
Elizabeth Calstock + St Agnes (=FHO)
<< Take Calstock one
John Calstock (=FHO)
Susannah Calstock (=FHO)
Ann Calstock (=FHO)
Solomon Calstock (=FHO, 1841 Census)
Marion Paull had all this in 1991, exactly right. Census information
can further validate this if we find persons who look like the children
in Calstock.
Jenny Paull
Marion had a query against Jenny, and extensive searching
could not clarify her case. But Jenny is born 18 months after James and
15 months before
William, so is probably right. There are three burials in Corwall
1797-1840,
but none in Calstock or St Agnes. Nothing in Census records I could
find, and no marriage records in FHO 1816-26
Mary's Parents
We have two census sightings of Mary in Calstock. in 1841 her year of
birth is about 1780.and in 1841 it is about 1775. The 1851 census
return gives her place of birth as St Anne, but I believe that is an
error. St Anns Chapel, less than two miles from Calstock, and even
closer to Albaston where she was living, and the census taker misheard
St Agnes. Her marriage and the births of her early children all point
to St Agnes. Most brides seem to marry where they were born in those
days. A 1780 birth would have he marrying at 14 on 19 Jan 1795. So we
are looking for marriages in the range 1773-77 using her 1851 census
age as a rough guide.
We have two choices in the LDS
Mary Paul chr 08 Mar 1775 St AgnesCornwall, parents
John Paul and Johanna Bennet (=LDS)
Mary Paul chr 20 Jan 1777 St Agnes Cornwall, parents
Joseph Paul and Grace (=LDS)
My bookie has 1777 at 9 to 1 on: Reasons
(a) Marion Paul said Joseph and Grace, and I have't found her wrong yet.
(b) 1977 is close to the age estimate given in the 1841
census
(c) She named children both Joseph and Grace
(d) Joseph and Grace had four children William, Mary, Solomon and Ann.
All these names appear in Mary's children
Update 13 Apr 07
I had a Genes Reunited contact from Brian Dwyer who has a comprehensive
and unconnected tree for the Mary whose parents were John Paul and
Johanna Bennet .
So I am now completely confident
Research Notes
Genes Reunited checked for William and Mary
Google no joy
Watch the one/two "l" when searching. Records vary, but in the webpage
and our database, Grace's family have one "l", William's two, which is
pretty consistent with the records
There is another William Paul, chr 1778, also looks to be from a
census, who is not ours?.
OPC for Calstock has the later christenings listed, except John. Father
(William) is listed as a miner in several
Acknowledgements
Source for this family is Marion Paul. She supplied this and previous
generations. I have only been
able to verify some of it, but everything I could check was good. So
this looks pretty reliable stuff.. Checked LDS and Family History
Online..
Thanks to Myra Cordrey, OPC for Calstock, whose excellent database
helped in checking out a lot of this stuff
