Hi, I have recently begun to compile my family tree. I have found that my Great Great Grandparents were married in the Parish of Uny Lelant on March 26th. 1856. They were John Bryant [Miner], whose father's name was William and Eliza Bryant [Tin Dresser], whose father's name was Joseph. If anyone has any further information on these individuals, I would be really grateful to hear
Cheers Charles

Hello Charles
I bet that Kathie, (Zenobia) will be itching to assist you as I have the sneaking suspicion that this Elizabeth Glasson is very well known to her. In fact, she is also my first cousin (some generations removed) and was the grand daughter of John Glasson and Christian UREN of Polpeor. I understand that Elizabeth and William BRYANT had 10 or so children, at least two of which emigrated to Australia.
Kind regards
Allen Glasson

Hi Allen,
Thanks for your reply. I have no information on Elizabeth Glasson's side of the family if you have any I would be grateful to receive it. Elizabeth and William Bryant would be my Great-Great-Great Grandparents. On the information I have 4 of their children - William, Jane, Thomas, and Sarah emigrated to Australia around 1860. Their son John married Eliza Bryant in 1856 and had a daughter Eliza who was my Great Grandmother. At some stage the family moved to West Lothian in Scotland to become Shale Miners. Eliza went on to have 2 marriages having 7 children. If you need any info. on this side of my family let me know
Cheers Charles

Charles - good to see you have found another area of the Board in which to start conversation. Please see my note in the Welcome Thread. You state that you have four children of William and Elizabeth who came to Australia about 1860. I currently only show 7 children from this couple but there is no Jane amongst them. Would therefore appreciate more information if you could, please. Of the 7 children I have listed there are two named 'John Glasson Bryant' and I am assuming that the first of these (bp. 1831) died young and was replaced by the second son of that name who was baptised at Lelant in 1833 when the family was residing at Halsetown, St Ives. As stated above, I show only seven children for William and Elizabeth and there is no Jane amongst them. However, apart from the two John Glasson Bryant's mentioned above I can offer the following brief information:- Robert Bryant bn. c. 1832 died at Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia in 1881 age 49. William Bryant bn. c. 1836 died at Bendigo, Victoria, Australia in 1901 aged 64. Matthew Bryant bn. c. 1843 died at Bendigo, Victoria, Australia in 1928 aged 84. Thomas Bryant bn. c. 1847 died at Bendigo, Victoria, Australia in 1899 aged 52. Sarah Ann Bryant n. c. 1851 married James Pollard in Victoria in 1880 and died at Bendigo in 1943 at the age of 92. Hope this is of some help to you and I look forward to further conversation on this subject. As suggested in the Welcome Thread - this may be better discussed on the Lelant section but let us see how we go for now.

Charles - I somehow missed your mention of the marriage of John and Eliza Bryant at the start of this thread. I am going to need some time to look over this but will do the best I can and as soon as I can. Had a late finish at work tonight (nearly 4am) and have Fire Brigade Training at 1130 before starting work again at 4pm where I have some difficult problems to solve. (Also in the process of moving house.) Will help as best I can in the quickest time I can. I am sure Allen and Zenobia will be able to help you in the meantime. Ian

Cornish Terrier - thanks for responding to my request and supplying info relating to the Bryant family. I have been in contact with someone from Australia and their Great-Great Grandfather was William Bryant [brother to John, my direct ancestor]. Apparently William who was baptised on 14th. Aug. 1837, emigrated to Australia with his wife Eliza Matthews and young child William. This was in 1869 on the ship Hougoumont. I have been given the names of 10 children from William and Elizabeth. The baptisms come from records in Uny Lelant. John Glasson Bryant bap. 1831 - presumed died in infancy Robert bap 14th. Aug 1831 John Glasson Bryant bap. 21st. April 1833 Matthew born 1843 no mention of baptism Thomas and Jane who I presume are twins as they share the same DOB. BAP. 7TH. March. Jane also emigrated, she married a Matthew William in 1868 in Victoria Australia. Elizabeth bap. 29th. July 1849 Sarah ann bap. 18th. Sept 1853 Grace- no info on her. At the moment I am interested to find out if John and Eliza Bryant had any other children tha Eliza. Cheers Charles

Hi Charles, Thanks for your note and I will look into things as soon as I possibly can. (Some of it may be tonight but I cannot guarantee it.) The information about Jane should, I hope, be of real help given I have copies of the Indexes for BDM for Victoria from the 1850's onwards. The problem should not be the actual marriage but more finding the children and, particularly, any death details given we are dealing with the name of 'Williams'. But, given information was available, I have ways of sorting through these indexes to find what I want. Will try and get back to you tonight but certainly cannot promise. Will do my best, Ian

I have traced the Australian connections but there are still some puzzles. Did this Grace marry Charles May in 1858 at St Erth? If so, would appear to have gone to Colorado before 1870, and then maybe in Montana in 1900 (some discrepancies to be resolved!) I have Elizabeth married to someone with the surname Bray in the 1871 census, but my brief exploration has yet to turn up anything more. Help from those who have trod this path already always appreciated. Simon

Yes she did and the details, which I guess you have, are on the OPC site. I have also found Elizabeth in 1871 but have not been able to find a marriage for her. There are marriages missing from the indexes from time to time and there are many occasions where one party is in the index but the other is not which makes it very difficult to find the record. It is also possible that the marriage took place outside of England and that Elizabeth had returned albeit for what appears to be possibly a short time as she does not seem to appear in 1881.
