I'll look forward to getting home and following up! I have two photos taken in St. Austell. I know the identity of one of the individuals -- Richard Cleife Yeates, a baby. The other photo was taken in a different studio an is identified as Mrs. Yeates, paternal grandmother to the baby, Richard Cleife Yeates. I'll post the photos to the other group. If you have other thoughts, Please let me know. Thanks again! Jennifer Jennifer On 12/19/08, Roberta-CC <cornwallconnections@peeples.com> wrote: > Hello Jennifer, > > Welcome!

I think you have one of those surnames with a lot of variations in spelling &/or transcription. You'll have to use the Soundex or phonetic search for this family. (Not all phonetic searches include the same variations, so you may need to cross check for your most common variations. ) Options that come up in the FreeCEN system are Cleave, Cliff, Clive, even Calf, etc. If you do a phonetic search in FreeCEN in the 1841 Census, you'll find a Mary Cleave, age 75, born Cornwall, living in Biscovey, St.Blazey. Living with her are Mary Ray age 10 and James Ray age 4, which suggests you're on the right track. There's also a James & Elizabeth Cliff living with their children in St.Blazey that may be of interest to you. It looks like James and Elizabeth Ray are living in St. Blazey Village in 1841 with children Richard 13 and Elizabeth 8 months. So above Mary 10 and James 4 are apparently visiting gr-grandmother? I'd suggest also posting to the CON-GEN mail list, to see if someone else is researching these families. --Roberta Richards Peeples Woodland, California -------------------------------------------------- From: "Zilliac" <zilliac@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 8:52 PM To: <CA-CORNISH@rootsweb.com> Subject: [CA-CORNISH] New Member Intro > Hello, > > My name is Jennifer, and I am doing a little research on some ancestors > from > St. Austell and St. Blazey who immigrated to California/Nevada.

I was excited to finally track my ancestors from St. Austell to Nevada, but would like to keep going and am finding myself stuck. Here is what I have: James John Yeates of Scotland married Elizabeth Cleife Ray of St. Austell and had a son, Richard Cleife Yeates in St. Austell in 1867. They immigrated to the US with Elizabeth Ray's brother, James H. Ray. The name Cleife is interesting because it doesn't show up much in Cornwall except for the 1851 census. An elderly woman (87 in 1851) named Mary Cleife, who was a proprietor of houses in St. Blazey, was listed as the grandmother of Elizabeth May, who was a grocer. The names Richard, James, and Elizabeth are all there in that household, which is promising to me. I can't find Mary Cleife in any other census. I'm not sure what the best way to ask for help is because I am very new to this. Please forgive the broad request -- any suggestions??
