Acknowlegements
Thanks to Ron Seed, who supplied the keys to
the Roach family in Cornwall . Sheila Evans' tree on Ancestry gave
us Mary Bolitho and more..Thanks to "REEDS of Stithians and
Wendron" by Edward Martin, which can be
purchased online (Google it)
Research Notes
Sheila Evans also has another child Richard b
abt 1814, which makes a lot of sense. He would have left home by
the 1841 Census. However the only Richard Reed in the LDS
that fits was born in Wendron in Jun 1813 - too early and the
father was Walter. So leave him out for the moment. Note the
grandaughter Prudence is a nice tie in to Simon Bolitho and
Prudence Richards
LDS Two possible christenings for Richard in Wendron.
01 SEP 1782 to Joseph Reed and Susannah Gundry It would have
Richard 58 when he said he was 50 in 1841, and 68 when he
said he was 62 in 1851, and age at marriage 31
19 JUN 1785 to Richard Reed and Mary Gundry It would have
Richard 55 when he said he was 50 in 1841, and 65 when he
said he was 62 in 1851, and age at marriage 28
The second looks more likely. Make it 80% ,
Could not find any 1861 Census Record
OPC site is promising, but marriages are still being
transcribed.(2007)
