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. Later update. I know wisful thinking is at
Family History trap, but it does look as if Jenny went by "Jane"
in later life
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
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
In William Paulls Will in 1828 he gives Ann Craddick as his
sister, but unable to find anything else. She later marries John
Baker
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..
Thanks to Myra Cordrey, OPC for Calstock, whose excellent database
helped in checking out a lot of this stuff
