Welcome, David, to the forum. I have sent you a couple of Tree files of mine but I think you will learn a lot from the more experienced researchers here......incl. some relatives of yours/ours.

Hello David
You are a brave man if I say so myself. ;D The Glasson family documented on various sites is full of errors and false assumptions.
I am assuming that the John you are referring to is from the Camborne/Crowan area?
This is a good forum for you to slowly work through each of your generations to ensure that each link is correct. There are plenty of us here to go through that process with you.

john was my grandfatherx14! my grand mother was angelina glasson 1882-1975 any info please david robinson Hi David, Have we spoken on another board recently? My husband is related to you. If I am correct your great grandfather James was the elder brother of my husband's great x 2 grandfather Frederick George. Does that make you 2nd or 3rd cousins? Anything I can help you with, please let me know, though of course you may well be in advance of me? I've been interested lately in the 4 brothers, James, John, Robert and Frederick George and their move to London in the 1870s to make their fortunes. As far as I can tell the only one who managed that was John's son, also John, who owned a chain of furniture shops in the East End. I'd love to know more about your grandmother, she is a name that crops up again and again within the Glasson family. Also, do you know when Angelina's mother Elizabeth Pugsley died as I have been unable to find a death certificate for her? Best wishes, Carole |

Hello David
Thought I might bring this into the public arena and see if others agree with the recordings to date.
You mentioned William Glasson who was married to Mary Williams. I would like to start by taking a leap to the next generation - Williams parents Robert Glasson and Susannah Mitchell - married in 1746 in Gwennap. Robert left a will that contained the following:
The two sons, William and John, are of most interest to me.
Firstly William (bap 1755), who married Mary Williams in 1781 in Crowan. They had six children that I know of - William, Mary, Eleanor, Robert, Henry and Hannah.
William junior (bap 1781) married Elizabeth Mogg and they in turn had a son Henry (bap 1828) who joined the Royal Navy as a chaplain and moved to New Zealand and ultimately Australia.
William junior's brother, Henry (bap 1787), married Sarah Boase Glasson (bap 1784) of Paul, which makes it one of the situations where the Glasson line from Camborne united with the Glasson family from Madron (my lot).
Eleanor and Hannah both married Pools. Mary (bap 1783) married a Glasson, her cousin.
So lets go back to John, the son of Robert and Susannah. This John (bap 1750) married Blanch Kemp. They had a number of children, including John (bap 1777) and it is this John that married Mary Glasson, his cousin above.
Then John Glasson and Mary Glasson had a son John (bap 1803) and he is the one known as John of Bookanon (Australia). He also lived in New Zealand as well as Australia, and in fact died in NZ. The "Glasson Saga" was a publication of a number of letters written between John of Bookanon and his parents back in Breage. John was joined in Australia by a number of his siblings and in their letters they also refer to the Aunt Pool(s), uncle William the merchant of Falmouth (husband of Elizabeth Mogg) and also after the death of William the merchant, they refer to cousin George.

Hello David Thought I might bring this into the public arena and see if others agree with the recordings to date.John was joined in Australia by a number of his siblings and in their letters they also refer to the Aunt Pool(s), uncle William the merchant of Falmouth (husband of Elizabeth Mogg) and also after the death of William the merchant, they refer to cousin George. Lannanta I'd agree with everything there, Allen. I don't know if you or David are aware that in Budock Parish Church there is a plaque mentioning Cousin George who was secretary to the Hammersmith Bridge Company in London. It says as follows: "On 26 March 1877, Mr George Glasson of Hammersmith, Middlesex conveyed to Mr William David Trembath of Budock, farmer, two fields in Budock called Higher and Lower Breadlands and numbered 1163 and 1162 on the tithe maps of this parish. Subject to the payment by W.D.Trembath, his heirs and assigns of the annual sum of two pounds and twelve shillings to the churchwardens for the time being to the parish of Budock." The Church Warden told me that the sum was still being paid. She also told me that the Harbour in Falmouth used to be known as Glasson Quay. From my research William of Falmouth although listed as a merchant had fingers in more than one pie. Best wishes, Carole |
