Just a quick one here, I admit I'm being lazy but presume someone here will know the answer right away... ;D Honour Trewhella m Gilbert Davy 25 Apr 1654 St Erth. Daughter Elizabeth T. bapt St Erth 5 May 1655 then they seem to vanish!!!! Gilbert seems to be the son of Edmond/Edward bap 1623 at St Erth. Any background on Honour? ? Any info on what happened post 1655??? Thanks, M

Another of those where no documented evidence has yet surfaced. However it has been determined that Honour must almost certainly have been a daughter of James Trewhela, Churchwarden of Towednack. I agree that Gilbert was probably baptised at St Erth in 1623 son of Edmond Davye but unfortunately I have found nothing more beyond the baptism of daughter Elizabeth at St Erth in 1655. I can tell you that there is no burial for them at least up to 1700 at Ludgvan! I have only just finished looking through the PR for Ludgvan and realised that I was looking at the wrong Parish! ;D There is also no record of them in the St Erth transcripts which are generally excellent. No sign of a Davy of any sort in the Hearth Tax for Towednack and nothing in the surviving records that I have found. Unfortunately I have nothing more to offer right now. CT

Thanks CT! Helps make one more little connection although it is odd when families vanish like that? Records probably destroyed, next up I'll find a Gilbert Davie of St Erth an annoying one-and-a-half generations later who baptises a child Honour and won't be able to prove a darn thing!!!! Did you ever find a possible wife for James Trewhella? It's been a while since I looked at this line and I have a blank for spouse of James Trewhella (1582- 20th Sept ?).

No luck at all so far but I will keep trying. Gilbert and Honour must have left the St Erth area is my thinking as the records covering the required period at St Erth seem to be fairly good except for an odd couple of pages. CT

Well, I know I say it a lot but we around that dodgy Civil War period when all kinds of hell must have been breaking loose and maybe some people hopped it to the New World too!
