Hello Lynie and welcome to Penwith Genealogy.

Let's see what I can do to start you off.

Edwin PENBERTHY married Jennifer SEMMENS at Ludgvan 6th November 1820

Children baptised at Ludgvan as follows:-

Jane bp. 4th February 1821
Edwin bp. 23rd March 1823
Edwin bp. 28th January 1827
Elizabeth Hoskin bp. 30th August 1829
John Semmens bp. 29th May 1832
James Henry bp. 27th December 1835
James Henry bp. 23rd June 1837

Cecilia d/o Henry and Bridget (or Biddy) Banfield was baptised at Ludgvan 21st December 1828

Other children of Henry and Biddy baptised at Ludgvan:-

Biddy Oats Banfield bp. 28th January 1827
Mary Ann Banfield bp. 18th January 1831
Sedwell Oats Banfield bp. 4th November 1832
Jane Oats Banfield bp. 9th November 1834
Henry Banfield bp. 13th March 1836
Nicholas Oats Banfield bp. 11th July 1838

I cannot be absolutely certain of this but it does appear that Henry Banfield was previously married.

Henry BANFIELD married Jennifer RAPSON at Ludgvan 27th October 1822

James s/o Henry and Jennifer Banfield bp. 16th February 1823 at Ludgvan

Henry BANFIELD married Bridget Thomas OATES at Lelant 9th September 1826

Bridget Thomas OATES d/o Nicholas and Bridget was baptised at Camborne 2nd September 1804

From the 1851 Census it appears Bridget was deceased and I think it is probably her death recorded in FreeBMD in the June Qtr of 1845.

It also appears that daughter Bridget Oats Banfield may have died young as Henry has a daughter Bridget with him in 1851 who was born about 1842.

Henry was age 55 in 1851 and gave his birtplace as Ludgvan so he may be the following:-

Henry BAMFIELD s/o James and Celia bp. 15th October 1797 at Ludgvan

I cannot find Edwin Penberthy in 1851 and I would suggest it is he whose death is recorded in FreeBMD in the March Qtr of 1846.

In the 1841 Census Edwin was age 40 which means he was probably born sometime between 1797 and 1801.

I suspect he is the following:-

Edwin s/o James and Jane PENBERTHY bp. 23rd August 1799 at Lelant

James PENBERTHY, tinner married Jane DAVEY 3rd May 1785 at Lelant by Licence

Children:-

Elizabeth bp. 27th December 1789 Lelant
Ann bp. 29th June 1792 Lelant
John bp. 14th June 1795 Lelant
James bp. 15th July 1797 Lelant
Edwin bp. 23rd August 1799 Lelant
Josiah bp. 8th October 1801 Lelant

Given the gap between the marriage and the first child above I suspect this following child may also belong.

Jane d/o James and Jane PENBERTHEY bp. 19th June 1785 Gwithian

This is the only baptism of a child for James and Jane Penberthy at Gwithian so I think there can be little doubt.

I hope that gives you something to work with?

Have a play around with that and see how things shape up with anything you already know.

Then just let us know how you are going and what your next hurdle might be and we will try and help you over it.

I think you will have some fun with the Penberthy and the Banfield families and you will find that it is not all plain sailing I am afraid.

But we are here to help so keep involved and become one of the team.

My please Lyn

But I would advise you to check everything as you go along with whatever resources you have available.

If you can get to look at the Census records it will be of help to you for the future.

If you don't have access to Ancestry you can log onto FreeCEN.

In case you don't know - just type in the word 'freecen' into your search box and hit enter.

You will be presented with several options but I think you will find it easy enough to see which one you need.

All the other information has come from transcripts of Parish Registers but it would be adviseable to note everything as 'information received' and mark it as requiring further verification.

I am 'reasonably' sure of it but it is always best to check for yourself anyway.

And always good to follow the links and see for yourself how things can be found and how they can be put together.

I like to try to help people to help themselves because there is nothing like being able to find a piece of information yourself or to finally piece together a puzzle with a bit of sleuthing.

Let me know how you go with it all.
