Hello Sue - our 300th member! 
I am extremely happy that you have taken the time to look around the site and that your impressions are so good.
I like to see a bit of fun and friendliness involved in what can be a long, hard and frustrating hobby and that is what I try to provide.
Now - for your query about old William CURNOW and it has only been a matter of time until someone brought this name forward for a bit of study!
First of all - please don't hesitate to contact Bill Curnow!
Bill is the Online Parish Clerk for Ludgvan and you can find his contact details on that site.
I worked with Bill for quite some time trying to sort out many of the Curnow families so I can pass on the results of that work.
However I would urge you to get in touch with Bill in case he has found anything that might influence our reconstruction of the family.
Okay - your John CURNOW was, as you say, baptised at Lelant 26th November 1815 and was recorded as 'of Towednack'.
Parents were William CURNOW and Elizabeth BOLITHO who married at Towednack 14th August 1799.
To the very best of my knowledge (I again stress contact with Bill) the details for William are as follows:-
Baptised 15th August 1779 at Towednack son of William and Margery.
William CURNOW married Margery EDDY 15th April 1777 at Towednack.
This William in turn was baptised 13th October 1734 at Towednack son of William CURNOW and Jone TREWHELLA who were married at Towednack 30th July 1731.
William baptised 6th June 1697 at Towednack son of David CURNOW and Jane ROBERTS who married 24th January 1692 at Towednack.
David was the son of Robert and Catherine (nee PAINTER) with Robert then being son of the 'original' Thomas and Catherine CURNOW.
There are still some things that certainly I have not yet determined and this is largely due to the amount of people of the same name who were buried with no age recorded.
No burials yet for:-
William CURNOW or his wife Jone (nee TREWHELLA).
William - father of your John of 1815.
Taking another look at my database there is something else I need to mention.
When William CURNOW married Margery in 1777 she had already been married.
She was Margery RICHARDS baptised 1st May 1743 at Zennor daughter of John RICHARDS and Alice DONITHORNE.
She first married William EDDY at Zennor 5th February 1764.
I am yet to determine exactly which William EDDY this was and I am not sure of his burial.
I hope this helps sort out the problem for you.
Now - could you tell me something about John of 1815 please.
I have done little or no work on the Curnow family for quite some time now so do not know any details of John's marriage etc.
Please feel free to join in on any thread here and just make yourself at home.
