Hi Thanks for the reply I hope spend to half a day in Lelant when I have some time next month and have a look around. Most of my early family came from around that area so rather then just drive through it to St Ives, I will see what I can find. Vorvas Farm is where my GG grandfather worked. I was hoping to find this Farm and the area that he worked. Do you happen to know much about the place?. Once more thanks and will let you know what I find out

Good luck and have a good time. If you have time and opportunity - slip on over to Zennor and have a quick ping at the Tinners Arms. Should you manage to get there and David Care is still the owner then please say 'g'day' from Ian Trewhella. (I think he will still remember me after all these years. ) West Cornwall is a beautiful part of the World so enjoy it and have fun.

Hi Since my last post I have been trying to sort out the marriage of George BRYANT to Catherine LEACHER his first marriage and Catherine/Christian VICTOR his second marriage. Using the IGI, I have also found all the children from both marriages. 4 children from the first marriage, 3 from the second. Then looked at his fathers marriage: William BRYANT = Jane TILLY 13 Aug 1737. They had 8 children: Thomas BRYANT b 20 Nov 1737 William BRYANT b 26 Dec 1738 Catherine BRYANT b 05 Feb 1739 Jane BRYANT b 25 May 1742 Prudence BRYANT b 30 Jan 1744 George BRYANT b 17 Sep 1749 William BRYANT b 24 Feb 1750 Elizabeth BRYANT b 20 Jan 1755 Have found the marriage of the parents of Jane TILLY Thomas TILLY = Margery NOAL 22 Oct 1709 at Uny Lelant. But can not find any thing about William BRYANT. or his parents. in the IGI Are the St Uny Parish records on line?. Yes I will be calling in to Zennor when I am on my holidays as I have just started working on my wifes family history who's family came from Zennor so will look in at the pub ;D James CHAPPLE b 30 May 1829 Zennor Cornwall in the 1861 cen James CHAPPLE = Mary ? George

Oh - this is fun. George - I think you may find that the parents of William are:- William BRIAN m. Prudence HOSKIN 30th January 1697 at Lelant Note the variation in spelling but also take note of the name of this man's wife which seems to have recurred quite often throughout the Bryant family of Lelant. I think we are on to something here and, although it is quite late, I will keep working for a while. Currently going through all Lelant IGI entries for BRYANT (and var.) and updating my database to see what turns up. You may also note that it appears William and Prudence had a son, John, buried at St Ives in 1719 under the name of BRYAR. Let me see how I go from here.

There is another little 'snag' involved here. There was a Thomas and Mary Bryant around the same time who had a daughter named Prudence baptised in 1721. I just found a probable record for this family having a son Richard baptised at Lelant in 1712. Thomas could not, therefore, have been a son of William and Prudence but did name a daughter of that name. But then I have just found another interesting entry in IGI (all obviously needs checking from source records):- William s/o Thomas BRIAND bp. 16th December 1710 Uny Lelant Now this could be the William who married Rosamond Phillips at Lelant in 1732. Or he could be the man who married Jane Tilly at Lelant in 1737. We do know that William and Jane named their first son Thomas so I would initially lean in that direction (even though Jane's father was Thomas also.) Have been through all 100 Bryant (var.) baptismal entries from IGI but still have about 13 to check over as they were a little confusing with my previous information. Ideas are forming and it is a matter of finding time to do more with this. Will keep trying.

Hi First let me say thank you for all the hard work you have done. I have been on night shift the last three weeks so my gray matter is not working so well as it should I must say my family history has been doing my head in at the moment. I am still a little lost but when I have time this weekend I hope to crack this nut. I see the variation in the spelling. I hope to visit the Cornwall Records Office when on my holidays later this month to have a look at the Lelant Parish Records. So with some luck and a magnifying glass I may come up with some answers. Will keep trying Thanks

George - you are most welcome.
As I can, I will try to pursue some of this as I have some Bryant connections also - albeit distant.
Keep me informed and I will see what more I can come up with for you.
(As memory serves the Quick family becomes involved here also.)

Hi Re: George BRYANT Burial. Have found the Burial of George BRYANT at 6 Dec 1891 age 70 in Lelant. But have not been able to find the burial for Catherine LEACHER as yet.

G'day George - can you please confirm that burial date for George Bryant. 1891, age 70, means he was born about 1820 so, at best, would be a grandson of Catherine (nee Leacher). Please confirm details and I will try to follow it up for you.

Yes I can confirm the date that I found for the burial of George BRYANT in 1891 at the age of 70. It is the only one that I could find for a George BRYANT at the moment.

Have just done a check of 1891, 1881 and 1871 Census records and can find no George Bryant in Cornwall who would have been born about 1821 (age 70 in 1891). The nearest I can find was at St Ives but was born about 1829. I am a bit lost on this one just now.

Looking through this thread it appears I may have missed a couple of things. Will, as time and other things permit, try to review all the information and see what more I can add. Lots going on at the moment with work, finding new accomodation and looking after queries on the Board so will do my very best.

Thats fine thank you no worryes. I have been trying to sort things out: up to William BRYANT = Jane TILLY m 13 Aug 1737 is fine. I am now trying to find info on Williams father with the assumption that he was also a William.
