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 1n 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
