You do seem to have gotten yourself into a mess don't you!
Okay - let's see if we can sort some of it out.
Philip and Margaret Williams had a few more children:-
William bp. 31st October 1808 St Just
Ann bp. 26th August 1810 St Just
Richard bp. 5th September 1823 bu. 7th September 1823 Sancreed
Richard bp. 15th July 1825 Sancreed
Margaret bp. 29th July 1830 bu. 10th May 1831 Sancreed
(I have omitted the already known children)
Now for your John!
As you say he was married twice.
John Williams married Elizabeth Curnow 23rd March 1840 at Towednack
Elizabeth was bp. 19th March 1820 d/o Thomas Curnow (sexton) and Phillis (nee Berryman)
I have not yet found a burial for Elizabeth.
Three children as you have mentioned although I am also unable, as yet, to find baptisms for them.
This begins to get quite complicated so I hope you can follow it.
John's second marriage was at Sancreed:-
5 May 1849 by Banns
John Williams full age widower Miner of Tregerras [Mark] (Father: Philip Williams, Miner)
Elizabeth Green full age of Tregerras [Mark] (Father: Benjamin Rowe, Miner)
Witnesses: John Toman, John Ladner
John had one child from this marriage:-
Philip s/o John and Elizabeth Williams of Lower Tregerras bp. 24th August 1852 at Sancreed
Now - as you will notice Elizabeth was the daughter of Benjamin Rowe and had obviously been previously married.
She was baptised at Sancreed 19th March 1815 d/o Benjamin and Joanna Rowe
The only possible marriage I have found is Benjamin ROWE married Joan NICHOLAS at Sancreed in 1803.
I am unable to find any children from this marriage prior to Elizabeth in 1815.
But there are four children baptised after Elizabeth, including Michael Nicholas Rowe, up until 1824 at Sancreed.
I suspect that this marriage was probably 1813 and not 1803 - but it is only a suspicion.
Elizabeth's first marriage at Sancreed:-
23 Dec 1841 by Banns
William Green 35 Miner of Madron [Mark] (Father: Cornelius Green, Miller)
Elizabeth Rowe 27 of Tregeras [Mark] (Father: Benjamin Rowe, Miner)
Witnesses: Samuel Ivey, John Grenfell
Two children to this marriage:-
Johannah d/o William and Elizabeth Green of Lower Tregerras bp. 15th May 1842 Sancreed
Elizabeth Ann d/o William and Elizabeth Green of Bosullow bp. 15th March 1846 Madron
William Green of Bosullow age 42 buried 2nd June 1847 at Madron
(I have more on the family of Cornelius Green if you would like it.)
The complications are not over yet!
Prior to her marriage to William Green it appears Elizabeth was a little adventurous
and had a child out of wedlock. ;D
Jemima d/o Elizabeth Rowe of Poor House bp. 11th April 1837 at Sancreed
1851 Census
Lower Tregerrast, Sancreed
John WILLIAMS, head, mar., 31, tin miner, Sancreed
Elizabeth do., wife, mar., 37, miner's wife, Sancreed
JEMIMA do., daur., unm., 14, Sancreed
John do., son, 11, Towednack
Johanna do., daur., 9, Sancreed
Elizabeth do., daur., 8, Zennor
Margaret do., daur., 6, Towednack
Elizabeth GREEN, daughter-in-law, 5, Madron
Notice that Jemima (born Rowe) and Johanna (born Green) are labelled as 'daughters' yet Elizabeth Green is a 'daughter-in-law' even though she was the sister of Johanna!
1861 Census
Lower Tregerest, Sancreed
Elizabeth WILLIAMS, head, mar., 47, miner's wife, Sancreed
Philip do., son, 9, scholar, Sancreed
Joana do., daur., unm., 19, tin dresser, Sancreed
Elizabeth do., daur., unm., 15, tin dresser, Sancreed
John do., son-in-law, unm., 20, tin miner, Towednack
Margaret do., daughter-in-law, unm., 16, tin miner, Towednack
John TRUDGEN, grandson, 3 months, Towednack
Peter TRUDGEN, boarder, unm., 21, tin miner, Madron
Peter TRUDGEN married Johanna GREEN 1st June 1861 at Sancreed
John and Gregory sons of Peter and Johanna TRUDGEN of Tregerras were baptised 12th October 1862 at Sancreed.
So Johanna also liked to 'play' and had her first child born only 3 months prior to the 1861 Census.
She married the 'boarder' just a couple of months after that same Census.
Now that I have confused you totally
- could you please tell me about Elizabeth with details of her marriage etc.
I am interested in finding out a little more about this family.
BTW Peter James TRUDGEN was baptised 24th March 1839 at Madron s/o Gregory and Cordelia TRUDGEN of Bosullow.
I cannot find a marriage for Gregory and Cordelia.
