Hello CT
I have a baptism dated the 20th March 1822 at Towednack. My record shows that he was the son of John and Elizabeth. At a quick glance the likely parents are John Glasson and Elizabeth Trewhella. Are you able to view the christening and do you have him where I suggest he might belong?

Hi Lannanta - Joseph has never been added to my database and I am not exactly sure why. It may be because he never appeared in the Census with the family or that there were other children to another John and Elizabeth Glasson at Towednack. I have not checked the Census again as yet but the other John, also a blacksmith, did not marry until 1830.
The logical and most likely place for Joseph of 1822 as I see it would be the family of John Glasson and Elizabeth Trewhella but unfortunately I don't have access to the original record and all I can be guided by is the CFHS Transcript. From past experience, especially with Zennor, I am a little reluctant to accept the CFHS Transcript on face value so I need to keep in mind there may be an error. And if there is an error it could be with the date, it could be with the names of the parents or it could be the surname.
Have you found anything else about Joseph that might offer some clues?

I have just checked and cannot find any possible burial for Joseph between 1822 and 1851 and nor can I find him in the 1841 or 1851 Census. He would fit comfortably as the second last child of John Glasson/Elizabeth Trewhella but with a lack of any further record I cannot be confident.
We really need to have the original PR checked for all details of that baptism.

CT, I have nothing at all to assist here.. the transcription as it stands makes all the sense in the world. John Glasson was living at Polpeor next to his brother Joseph which suggests that naming his son Joseph would be natural enough. But like you I do not have any records of young Joseph either being buried or growing up. He is a mystery. My guess is that it is the burial that it is missing here.

Okay - I may be able to get that baptism checked next week. No guarantee but I will see what I can do.
If it can be checked then the details in the register might at least help confirm the identity but what happened to Joseph might remain a mystery. If he died young, and does belong to John and Elizabeth, then I would expect the burial to have been at Lelant. No burial appears in the Lelant PR and nor does one appear in the CFHS Transcript for Towednack.

I'm for Joseph having died pre 1844, what with likely brother Jacketh Glasson & wife Phillippa Quick naming their 1st boy (after 6 girls!) Joseph 1844, saving the names of the 2 grandfathers for their next son John Thomas Glasson 1846.
It will be interesting to see if the Towednack PR microfiche offers up any extra baptism detail. Am I right in thinking we have a gap in Towednack burial information between 1837 & 1860+?
Although we have FreeBMD for end 1837 on.....
I'm thinking it may be worth checking the burials for say May, June 1837 as an outside possibility.....

I've doubtless slipped up!
Elizabeth 1831, Philippa 1834, Emma 1836, Catherine 1836 (what happened to her?), Eliza 1838, my Emma 1841, Mary Ann 1844 - ah, Mary Ann joint baptism with Joseph, yes I see that might make 7......

What are the chances that the 6 month old "John Glasson", buried at Lelant in September 1822, is in fact the Joseph we are discussing??

Yes, he would certainly have to be considered a 'possibility' yet the concerning thing is that the entry in the PR very clearly reads 'John Glasson'. I cannot see any alternatives for this burial right now but I have added a note in my database for Joseph that he 'could be' this particular burial.
