Jane Ankerwis/ Nankervis/Trembath

[hilary]

Unfortunately, I found yesterday that I have been following the wrong man in my tree and now feel like throwing it out the window!

It was confirmed by the On line parish clerk for St Just that my 3 x great grandfather James Trembath was the one born in 1805 and not 1806. His father was Ambrose Trembath born 1767 and his mother was Elizabeth Nickles born abt 1766 and they married in St Just on 24 July 1790. (I was wrongly following the parents as James Trembath 1770 and Mary Nankervis previously which belong to James of 1806)

Ambrose's father (my 4 x great grandfather) was also called Ambrose and married Jane Ankerwis/ Nankervis on 12 May 1768. I'm hoping to salvage some of my tree so I am trying to find exactly which line of the Ankerwis/ Nankervis Jane came from. According to the parish records, Jane died in St Just on 22 Nov 1773 but I don't have her date of birth.

I've also found a record for Ambrose Trembath but not sure it's the correct one for 4 x great grandfather. According to this, an Ambrose Trembath was born on 16 Jan 1735/6 to John Trembath and Ann Jelbert.

Is there anyone with some factually proven information that could confirm the details for Ambrose and advise on the line for Jane? I'd like to select the correct families to follow having just had a major setback!


Thank you

Hilary - I know you have had a major setback but please do not totally discard all the work you have done.

Detach your James from them by all means but keep all the other stuff intact because you may well find they will connect directly into your family anyway - merely at a different point.

At the moment I am not familiar with your Ambrose Trembath or his wife but I am sure that can be remedied.

I do have one Ambrose in my database but he married Sarah Nicholls at Sennen in 1798.

There are others here who are much more familiar with the Trembath and Ankerwis (and variants) names than I and I expect they will be entering this discussion very soon.

So I will just do a little poking around as I can to see if I can find anything of help.

White and Newlyn may be good resources for you and we have our new member Margaret who is quite familiar with the St Just area.

I think you will find plenty of help on its way.

Hilary: I have been "tracking" the Trembath family because of a direct "line" from a Trembath through Giles-Hannah Williams-William Rowe, to Lavinia Rowe (Martin). I have "picked-up" many of the Trembath family on route, so to speak, and para.2 of your posting matches the info. on my database (Except for DOB, Ambrose).
We part company in para.3!
Try the Morvah on-line records for John Trembath 31 Jan.1707 (wife is Ann Jelbert).
I need to look closely at my sources because there are some serious discrepancies in my info., mostly regarding the identity of spouses.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement Cornish. I've had quite a bit of help from the lovely Margaret and it was through the information from the parish records that she kindly provided that I ascertained that I had been following the wrong James Trembath. I will start a new tree and will keep the old one as a reference guide as Im sure that the paths of these families will no doubt cross since there seems to be so much inter-family marriage of these folk!

Thanks also to David for the tip about the Morvah online parish clerk. I will certainly have a good look there once I have established the correct line to follow .............

If anyone has any information on Jane Ankervis/ Nekerwis/ Nankervis I'd be very interested in seeing it.

Thank you and have a great weekend all
Hilary

Hello there! Nil desperandum! If I had thrown out my tree every time, I had a false lead or a disappointment I would have big pile of genealogical wood for the winter! Keep your notes as CT says, you never know. I have some Nicholls/Niickless in my lines but they are very early. I have also got a brickwall in 1800 and can't get back an farther on the main patronymic line! Don't give up!

Hi guys and gals! Time to muddy the waters a bit. I have the following entry from the bans posted in the St. Just parrish regarding the marriage of Richard Jeffery Oates and Elizabeth Trembath.

"RICHARD JEFFERY2 OATES (RICHARD1) was born January 18, 1831 in St. Just, Cornwall, England, and died Abt. 1886. He married (1) SUSANNA PROUSE May 29, 1852 in St. Just in Penwith, Cornwall, England, daughter of ROBERT PROUSE. She was born Abt. 1832, and died January 28, 1854. He married (2) ELIZABETH TREMBATH March 13, 1856, daughter of AMBROSE TREMBATH and MARY WILLIAMS. She was born July 09, 1825 in St. Just in Penwith, Cornwall, England."

I believe this Ambrose Trembeth, mentioned as Elizabeths father, was a son of another Ambrose Trembeth. I wonder if there is any connection?
