LDS has two records of
the marriage in 1770. One gives his birth as about 1749, the
other about 1745
Looking for his birth in St Agnes, we have various tries in the
LDS, with parents
22 Nov 1747, Thomas Paul and Sarah
Richards
26 Jul 1741, James Paul
21 Apr 1750, William and Martha Paul
1750 looks too
late, and 1741 is too early, so go with Thomas and Sarah as
our best try (6 to 4 against) The only christening in LDS that
fits is 8 Jun 1747 at St Agnes, Parents Sampson and Rebecca . This
is again the only christening in FHO 1743-51 in Cornwall
Go with it as an 80% chance
