OK: I have found a relative (through autosomal DNA!) who has ancestors that must be close to mine. So I will check if anyone is familiar with these folks as I begin my big search to fine the common ancestor and hopefully break a brick wall or two. Gwinear, and also Phillack and St. Austell seem to be the locations, but also Somerset. The names are John Bartle of Gwinear, born 1825, married to Mary Mitchell, daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (Towells) possibly of Somerset. John Bartle is son of John Bartle and Sarah Saundercock, and the senior John Bartle is son of John Bartle and Ann Hockin. Placing this Ann Hockin will probably be helpful. I am checking the resources, but if anyone has hints, send them please!

Well. I see that the children of John Bartle and wife Mary Mitchell, who moved to Mineral Point, Wisconsin by the 1850s, were named Bartholomew and Theodosius, which I see by perusing posts here, are names in a Hocking family--probably a nice clue there. I hope so.

Hi Calswimmer - I have started to have a look at this to see what I can offer. I think you mean that the senior John is son of WILLIAM Bartle and Ann Hockin. (Barkle in Phillimore) Amongst other children of William and Ann was a son named Bartholomew Hocking Bartle which I think must be just a little suggestive. John and Sarah also named a son Bartholomew but I have not yet found what happened to him or brother Josiah who do not appear with the family in 1841. The only Ann I can find who was daughter of Bartholomew Hockin was baptised at Camborne in 1755 which is far too early to be the mother of John. I think then that we might be looking for an Ann Hockin with a brother named Bartholomew. Best I can do for the moment. CT

Thanks! You are correct about William. I had that name mixed up. Ann Hockin was born 1773, so she would be the right age to be daughter of Bartholomew Hockin, son of Bartholomew and Theodosius. Josiah also went to Wisconsin. Somehow this line is related to mine, which is Penberthy, Thomas, Nicholas, Bawden, Cottay, Ninnes, Penglase. The location in Cornwall is certainly right for that connection--Gwinear, Phillack, St. Austell.

Well, this is interesting. A John Bartle and a Bartholomew Bartle, the latter age 10 in 1841, appear in the Thomas Trewhella (Trewala) family of Gwinear in 1841. Elizabeth Thomas, age 55, is also in the household. So is Bartholomew brother of another John Bartle, or are they mixed up?

I reckon he belongs to you. Bartholomew BARKLE baptised 22nd January 1832 Gwinear son of John and Sarah That record is on the OPC site but the one I am concerned about in that 1841 Census record is John Bartle. Bartholomoew is recorded as age 10 which matches nicely with the above baptism but John is recorded as age 12 when in fact he would have been about 15 or 16 ir he was the son of John and Sarah. We are talking Census records though which are often misleading but in this case I am not sure. Of course I think that particular Thomas Trewhella was actually 48. I am sure the Bartholomew connection is significant but I cannot find a baptism for Ann Hockin at the moment that ties in closely. Will try and take another look at this tomorrow. CT

Thanks. Do you happen to know who the parents or family of that Thomas Trewhella are? Did he marry? Josiah, John Bartle's uncle went to Wisconsin, but the brother Josiah is [i]possibly[/i] living in Camborne in the 1841 census with another John Bartle family, as "Richard, "which appears to be his second name. I find that parents for Ann Hockin may be John Hockin and Amy Hockin, Amy said to be daughter of Bartholomew Hockin and Amy Harris. Trying to tie in the Thomas family, my most logical bet for a connection to the Bartles, I think. I found death info for John Bartle. He was indeed born in 1825, date given as October 16, which is very close to the date of birth registration, so that confirms his parents. The other John, living with Bartholomew and Trewhella, is pretty young in comparison. Maybe that one is brother Josiah, just misnamed in the census.

Thomas TREWHEELLOW baptised 1st July 1792 St Erth son of Matthew and Catherine (nee Roberts) (Just an example of how this name can be found in the variious records! ) Thomas TREWHELLA married Elizabeth HOLMAN 16th October 1847 at Crowan No children. Thomas died at Crowan 29th July 1878 age 86 and Elizabeth was buried at Crowan 30th July 1865 age 66. Will try and look more at the Bartle problem later tonight. CT

Thanks for the Trewhella info. The date on his birth is really off in the census if that is the same person. The Elizabeth Thomas in the household is my best bet to find a relation. It shouldn't be too many generations back. But I am not sure it will be there. If someone was adopted in Cornwall, did they have the birth certificate that showed their actual parents? (I have the birth and marriage certificates for my ancestors, but I have to wonder). Next I will have to look into the Michell family and after that I give up!

I think you might be wasting your time looking for relationship links in that lot even though it is possible there are links somewhere. All those with Thomas Trewhella in the 1841 Census were 'servants'. I would think most were probably farm labourers and Elizabeth Thomas may have been a house servant. Notice that the last 'f. s.' (female servant) was Catherine TREWELA. She may have been the elder sister of Thomas but that is the only relationship that might be clear. I am not sure about your adoption question but remember that Civil Registration in England did not commence until July 1st 1837 so you will only get actual birth certificates from that date. CT

OK-I'll leave this one for now. At least it looks like a connection can be made for the Bartholmew and Theodosia Hockin family, which I notice was a subject of posts in the past.

This is kind of an old thread, so I don't know if you are still on here or not. I believe that I might be related. I come from William Bartle who was born 12 Jan 1823. He moved to Wisconsin and lived in Trempealeau County. I found an article from 1898 about his son William Bartle, who had to go to Sheffield, England to collect an inheritance. It said that it was from his grandfather John Bartle, who had already been dead for a while. It also said that the inheritance was passed to William Sr.'s sister, but she had also died, and then they finally found William's family in Trempealeau. I will include a link to the article at the end. On Ancestry.com, I started typing Sheffield into an event location section, and it came up with 2 different spots... Sheffield, Cornwall and Sheffield, South Yorkshire. As an American, I don't know the difference between the two and have no clue which I should be looking into. That being said, I have been looking into both locations and came upon this family that you are talking about. The dates match up. So do the names of some of William's children (I saw a couple of the censuses for the John and Sarah Bartle family): Sarah Ann, John, William, Mary. Anyways, the fact that more of the family moved to Wisconsin really makes me think that they were related. I wasn't expecting that. Here is the link to the article: digital.olivesoftware.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Search&Key=TWR/1898/08/12/4/Ar00408.xml&CollName=TWR_APA3&DOCID=1398462&PageLabelPrint=4&skin=%57%69%6e%6f%6e%61%41&AppName=%32&sPublication=%54%57%41&sScopeID=%41%6c%6c&sSorting=%53%63%6f%72%65%2c%64%65%73%63&sQuery=%73%68%65%66%66%69%65%6c%64%20%62%61%72%74%6c%65&rEntityType=&sSearchInAll=%74%72%75%65&dc:creator=&PageLabel=&dc:publisher=&ViewMode=GIF

Welcome to the site 'joejohnheath'. I am not sure if Calswimmer logs in as often as she used to but if we don't get a resonse in a day or so then I will send her a message to alert her to your post. As for 'Sheffield' - I would think the story was probably concerned with Sheffield in Yorkshire as it was a large industrial town and very well known. Sheffield in Cornwall is a tiny village in the Parish of Paul (or perhaps just into Sancreed Parish) down in the far west of Cornwall. It is also not an area you would be likely to find many of the Bartle family although there might have been a couple. Usually the Bartles would be found in Parishes such as Gwithian, Gwinear, Crowan, Camborne and St Erth which are all east of the Hayle River. CT

Thank you so much for the response! Just know what you told me about Sheffield is very helpful. Perhaps I should also post a biography that was printed about my William Bartle. I have found some errors in it, so I have just used it as a loose guide in my research, but perhaps somebody might notice something helpful as well. In it, it says that William was born in Devonshire. I don't know if that is true or not. It was written 29 years after he died, and like I said, there were other errors.
"William Bartle, an early settler of Trempealeau County, was born in Devonshire, England, Jan. 12, 1823, and came to America as a young man. He was married in Cleveland, Ohio, May 16, 1856, to Ellen Seary, who was born in Enniskillen, Ireland, in May, 1830, and came to America in 1849, locating in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1862 Mr. Bartle and wife, with three children, came to Trempealeau County and settled on a farm in Ettrick Township, where he followed farming until 1876. He then moved to Trempealeau and for the two years following worked at burning lime. In 1878 he received a stroke of paralysis, which rendered him unable to perform heavy labor during the balance of his life. He passed away May 29, 1888. Just seven years to the day his good wife followed him, dying May 29, 1895. They were the parents of nine children, as follows: Sarah, born May 19, 1857, who is now Mrs. George Tibbitts of Keddleston, Canada; Emma, born in June, 1859, who died at the age of eleven years; Ellen, born in November, 1860, who died in 1904; Mary, born in 1863, and now Mrs. Thomas S. Bramwell of La Crosse, Wis.; William, born June 10, 1885, now a resident of Trempealeau; Charlotte, born April 1, 1868, now Mrs. Ed Huttenhow of Trempealeau Village; Margaret, born April 12, 1870, now Mrs. John C. Towner of Trempealeau Township; John, born Nov. 19, 1872, who is living at Keddleston, Canada, and Harriett, who was born Dec. 17, 1874, and died Sept. 1, 1913."

Your new information is most welcome and your note about the errors. Always wise to check information such as this even in the case where it is written by a family member.
I have sent an email to Calswimmer so hopefully we might get a response soon.
