This family gets about the
countryside a bit. Unusual in those times but it is verifiable in
the census returns.
Colon Tippett is born in St Columb in 1810.
The next we hear he is being discharged from
Bodmin Jail in 1833, about 10 miles east of St Columb
Then in 1836 he marries Marina Bath in Madron
which is 36 miles SW of St Columb, nearly to Lands End
By 1841 Colan and Marina are living with
Colon's parents in St Columb, where they spend the rest of their
days, dying in the late 1880s
1804 Marina Bath is born in Mylor near Falmouth, 20 miles south of
St Columb
In 1836 she marries in Madron 20 miles to the
west of Mylor and settles in St Columb about 49 miles away
Her mother died in 1818, and her father had
been in Wales since 1816 by the look of it, so she had been
fending for herself for nearly 20 years
Marina's parents (James and Honour) marry in Mylor.
Honour Greet is from St Just in Roseland, only
a mile away as the crow flies but across the Carrick Roads (the
esturary at Falmouth)
James Bath baptised in 1770 in Budock Cornwall
James Bath enlisted in the 25th Foot
Soldiers 1st Batallion in 1797
His trade is given as Taylor. He is born in Cornwall, parish
recorded as Beaudock. So its definitely him
He is discharged in 1818 as a Chelsea
Pensioner Aged 46. This seems to imply he was on a disablement
pension
James is living with his nephew Henry Olivey in Swansea
Glamorgan in 1851 as a Chelsea Pensioner
Honour dies in Falmouth 1818. They had just the two children
Buddock, Mylor and Flushing are all small towns within a mile of
Falmouth
