You are welcome ....... but I do wish you would take it as it is intended to help you to help yourself find some answers!
It is no good throwing every name and date you find on the internet at someone and asking them what they think. All that does is waste your own time and that of someone else and simply ends up with you going round in circles and endlessly running into your own backside!
Try and follow the advice I have offered and you might end up getting somewhere. Crikey .... I am still looking for answers to questions I asked 35 years ago!!!

Dear CT, I have been following your advice about delving into one person and tracking back searching for any supportive information from possible relationships, etc. In trying to find the father of Henry Ralph born ? Your suggestion of Henry Raf baptised in 1677 in St Anthony in Meneage, son of Edward and Onora who might in fact be Henry Ralph. All my attempts to get any further information to support this scenario have failed so far and I wondered if you might have any further suggestions I could follow since your earlier assistance was so helpful ? Regards Chris.

Chris - I think I have just about exhausted all my ideas previously. But in case I have missed something then it might be worth using the Henry you mention (bp. 1677 St Anthony) as a starting point and working through some scenarios again. Use age 16 as a minimum possible marriage age for Henry and begin checking for any Henry Ralph (sic.) marriages from 1693 to around 1730. If you can't find marriages then search for all children baptised to a Henry Ralph from 1693 to about 1740. From there you would need to study the list to try and determine how many Henrys might be involved. Look at the parishes involved and try to group any children accordingly to see if any clues can be found. Also look at other children of Edward Ralph and see if you can track them for a couple of generations. You might get lucky and find one or more who end up in a similar area to your ancestor. CT

Hi CT, Edmund Ralph's Will 1609/10 didn't really help. It is more of an inventory and mentions his wife but it is illegible. Looks like Agora ? No other progress really. Regards Chris.

HI Chris - that is a shame. Could the name of the wife be Agatha? or possibly Agnes? You describe it as 'Agora' which could well be Agnes.
Also, is there any mention of property names? I 'might' be able to read it if I saw it but no guarantees.

Hi CT, My Dad has the copy. He would need a private email address as he doesn't want to put it on the web? He has a lot of Ralph Wills. Not sure how to do it? Regards Chris.

Dear CT, We have not been able to find any marriage records for Edward Ralph burial in 1737 of the town of Marazion on OPC. I recall that you thought the Edward Ralph burial 1725-6 of St Erth was possibly Henry's younger brother born 1687 , who married Mary Tonkin. That data leads me to think that Edward Ralph born 1654 Wendron may be the one who was buried 1737 Marazion.That would put his age at about 83 and he would be buried in Marazion along with his eldest son Henry 1677-1742. This scenario for 83 year old Edward the father fits the lack of evidence of a marriage or evidence of children for the old Edward Ralph.It is also possible that he is the father of Henry Raf born 1677 and Edward Raff born 1687 in St Anthony in Meneage since we do not know where Henry and Edward were born. We would appreciate any thoughts you might have on how to clarify this further. Regards Chris

CT, I meant eldest son Henry 1677-1741 not 2. Chris.

Dear CT, As above Edward Raph(spelling) is indexed on IGI as christening 23/5/1654 father Edmond. Edmond married Charity Welcome 20/1/1650.Edmond also fathered a daughter Mary 1655? Also an Ebbett(Elizabeth)? Ralph married a John Mayne 15/7/1657 Constantine. Possibly a sister of Edmond. Possibly links back to Edmund buried 1609 Constantine? Also Edward Ralph husband of Mary Tonkin buried St Erth was 1724/5? not 1725/6 as I put above. I need to slow down. Regards Chris

And what about Edward Ralph buried at Helston in 1692 or Edward Raph buried at Helston in 1734 - Helston is, after all, a very small Parish almost surrounded by the much larger Wendron. Nothing has changed in the last few months - there is still the problem of registers that have been lost or that are damaged and unreadable. And St Hilary with no extant records prior to about the 1680s is still at the hart of your dilemma. Unfortunately I am unable to do any more than yourself right now and that is to make guesses. If you produced the random details you have to five different people the odds are that you would get five different opinions on how those details all fit together and there is always the chance that not one of those opinions would be right.
