1. Re:Mount Edgecombe [1]
Someone (actually it was Shirley) asked about Mount Edgecombe. I know nothing about the family name, but I do know that there was a vessel named the "Mount Edgecombe," I believe it may have been the old HMS WInchester, which served as a training school for wayward boys. It was anchored off Saltash for many years at the end of the 1800's and beginning of the 1900's. Believe I read about it in the book "Saltash, Town and About." Don't have the author or ISBN to hand. If anyone wants the information t
2. SA Research: Thank You! [1]
Hello, I wanted to issue a great big public THANK YOU to listers Ruth, Kathy, Bob, Carol and the others who have been helping me trace the BARRETT family who emigrated from Landulph, Cornwall to South Australia in 1878. Particularly, through their efforts I've been able to find some data on my cousin Norman Hocking Barrett who served in the 27th AIF in WW I and was wounded twice. Thank you all so much! You're a big part of what makes this list so special. Rick Elliott

5. 1851 CD Devon, Somerset, Warwickshire [1]
Hello, You'll recall a few days ago I made note that, for some reason, the town of Maker which as of 1851 was clearly part of Cornwall, seems to have been included on the CD as part of Devon. (Check, for instance, the entry for John OLIVER, age 67.) Now I also find William ROGERS, age 36, from Cornwall, included even though the census place Walsingham Union, Norfolk. Did I misunderstand the contents of the CD? Does it include Norfolk, not Warwick? Or is this yet another special case? I'd like to ge
6. Fraddon, Blue Anchor, St Columb [1]
Hello, A few days ago someone posted a query related to this place, possibly in connection to the BULLOCK surname. If that person were to be so kind as to contact me privately, I might be of some assistance. Rick Elliott Rick.Elliott@nsc.com
7. More on the Subject of Dates [1]
While we're on the subject of dates: Some of us may not be aware that until 1752 the year ran from 25 March to 24 March. So if you have a relative who was born on, say 25 March 1747 it is quite possible he or she may have died on, say, 3 January 1747. Your database program if you use one, may freak out, but these dates are perfectly valid. Usually the latter date** would be entered as 1747/8**. Rick ** The Mormon Church invented the method of entering years this way. That's why they're called.

9. Surname GITSHAM [1]
Hello Listers, I posted this many moons ago and got such an underwhelming response I thought I'd try again. Do any of you have the GITSHAM family in your line? I have a James Dale (or Sale) GItsham who married Amelia ELLIOTT of Saltash about 1875. He managed to get himself enumerated twice in the 1881 census, once living with his wife Amelia and a second time as a schoolmaster aboard a vessel, "The Mt. Edgecombe," which was a training ship anchored for years in the Tamar at Saltash. James' wife die

Suez, If you're going to make a business out of this then your travel expenses are deductible on your income taxes-- or would be if you lived in the States. That being the case, you'll want to SERIOUSLY consider St Stephens/Saltash before St. Hillary, Crowan, etc. Rick

12. Carn Brea, if you're not sick of it yet... [1]
Hello Folks, Is there a connection between the Carn Brea in Redruth and the Carn Brea near Callington? Wouldn't two Carn Breas in the same county constitute some kind of violation of the Geneva Convention or something? I know, I know, Carn Brea means "rocky hill," and Cornwall's got more than one rocky hill, but in the States we have an entire mountain range called the Rockies and you wouldn't catch US naming two mountains the same. Are you just trying to confuse us furriners? Over here in the US
13. Maker/St Germans [1]
Hello, I was looking through a copy of the LDS CDROM containing the 1851 census of Devon, Somerset, etc., and I noticed some entries containing a census place of both St Germans and Maker/St Germans. Did Maker at some point switch between Devon and Cornwall? Is there a distinction between Maker/St Germans and the St Germans situate southwest of Saltash which would appear to be far inside (on the Cornish side of) the Devon/Cornwall border? Please note I am NOT referring to 'birthplace,' this is clearl

15. Re: Explanation Of barnoon [1]
Suezan, An idea for you: Why not put a statement of explanation at the top of EVERY list you do? That should generate less traffic on the list. The statement might be something like... --- Barnoon is a cemetery in St-Ives. I am currently posting the monument inscriptions (MI's) to the list as I collate them. An MI is the writing found on the gravestone. --- Rick Elliott P.S. You DID say your next project was the cemetery at St Stephens-by-Saltash, didn't you?
16. RE: Dates on Suezan's MI's [1]
A reminder for those of us of the US of A persuasion: Most of the rest of the world, including the UK, code their dates day/month/year as opposed to the American convention which is month/day/year. Thus if Suezan reports Joe Bulovashevsky died 2/12/1947 she means 2 December 1947 and NOT 12 February 1947. This is readily apparent if the 'day' is greater than 12, but easy to forget if it is not.

18. Glasson-Jeffery genealogy [1]
Hello: I'm researching Glasson and Jeffery families. MaryJane Glasson, born in Camborne 1850. Her mother was Sophia, born abt 1820. MaryJane and Sophia were in Australia prior to 1872. MaryJane returned to Camborne where Jane was born in 1872. In 1876 she had Samuel. In the 1881 Census the family name was Glasson. In 1885 the family name was Jeffery. Any help would be appreciated.

John, You wrote >Hi Rick, >I think we only have one Carn Brea (the one at Redruth / Camborne). >The big hill with a monument (an ornate Mine Chimney) at Callington is >Kit Hill. With the greatest respect, sir: I have a relative (an in-law, actually) who lived at Carn Brea, Callington. Her name was Annie Pridham and I have seen the name and the location in 1881 census. Perhaps it no longer exists or has been incorporated into Callington. Regards, Rick Elliott

Hello, I just a message from Mxmy of Zebcor that he will take some of us over to the party in his spaceship. This is a real treat. He usually doesn't like to risk being detected by radar-- there IS an airbase nearby-- but he said he'd be willing to risk it. We'll bring along a mess of Zebcorian gryflxx for you to all to try. He (at least I think Mxmy is a 'he') also wanted to bring some flebcrud but I said no to that. Flebcrud is basically fried rocks. We will be stopping in Quethiock either on the w

25. Blewett, Bluit genealogy [1]
Hi: I wonder if anyone out there would know of a JOSIAH BLEWETT or BLUIT b.1803 Cornwall perhaps Mousehole? Family members said he came from Mousehole. I have been trying to find where he was born and information about his family. I found an obit. in Peterborough On. Canada and it said he came from Mitcheldean Gloucestershire but no one has heard of him from there. I wonder if he left Cornwall and went to Gloucestershire to work. He married JANE WILSON b. 1800 from Ireland, that seems strange also after re
