Hello from America everyone. I am researching my families from Zennor, Cornwall that moved across the sea to Pennsylvania for the anthracite coal fields in 1860-70. I have a copy of a census that had the two families living in the same area called Boswednack. They are the Davey family and the Richards family. The head of the Davey family was John who had a daughter named Margaretta who married John Richards. John had three brothers who came here as well, Thomas, Robert and David. For some time the family also ran a farm after getting established. Any help will be greatly appreciated! James

G'day James from Ian in Australia - and welcome to our group. I certainly hope we will be able to assist you and it is great to have you on board. A brief response here and then, if you have not already done so, we should move all discussion on this to a more appropriate part of the Board. Initially I think it should probably be the Zennor Forum. I would like some more detailed information from you to work from but believe I may have your Richards family already in my database. Looks like the family of William RICHARDS who married Nancy BERRYMAN at Zennor in 1836. Their children, as I have them, were William (c. 1836), Thomas (1839), John (1841), Robert (1843), David (1847-1847), David (1850) and Ann (1852-1852). With all these events the family was listed as 'of Porthmear', Zennor, which is not a long way from Boswednack. I will take a look at some Census records and other data to see if I have the right family but, on face value, it looks like it. First thing I must do is check the rest of the Board and then I will spend a little time on this for you before I head off to bed. Once again - WELCOME - and look forward to your involvement.
