Hi everyone!
Now inspired to look again at some of my abandonned loose ends, I wondered if anyone could throw some light on what happened to William Glasson Pool.
William was the son of Francis Pool and Eleanor Glasson, and christened in Crowan in 1815.
He married Kitty Nicholls Allen in 1846. In the 1851 Cenus he and Kitty are living in Phillack with two young children, where he is described as a stamp distributor. In the following censuses Kitty is found living with the children, and later grandchildren, and working as a draper's assistant in Phillack. No sign of William.
There is a marriage between a William Glasson Pool and Mary Christopher in Penzance in 1883, but I do not know if this is him. Though in the 1881 Census Kitty is now declaring herself a widow.
In his mother Eleanor's will, proved in 1868, I believe she left the lease of the St Aubyn's Arms to three of her daughters and not William, who is by then her eldest surviving son.
Does anyone know what happened to William?
Best wishes,
Carole

Hello Carole I've had a look on the NBI for a burial for William but I can't see anything. I've also checked a sub site just in case theres anything new about but NO there isn't, at least not on the one I use. I've looked at the 1861 census for the country but there is not a William Glasson Pool coming up. Looked around other likely places but there is just no sign of him. Sorry  Lamorna |

No - this is the marriage for the later WGP:- John POOL, 50, widower, labourer of Buryan (son of William) married Jane GLASSON, 38, spinster of Penzance (daughter of Thomas) 5th August 1837 at Madron The most likely Jane Glasson I can find was the daughter of the mysterious Thomas and Elizabeth who baptised just a few children at Gulval. Jenifer daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Glasson baptised 14th November 1802 Gulval BUT - this has still not answered the original query!  CT |

Carole - nothing that I have searched so far has provided any sign of William Glasson pool after the 1851 Census. The Census records, as you have pointed out, suggest that William was still alive in 1871 but died prior to the 1881 Census. That he was dead by 1881 seems certain but I am not sure just how much to rely on the 1861 and 1871 Census information. If, as appears likely, William had gone abroad then he probably did so soon after 1851. It is possible then that he could have died anytime after departure and by 1881 Kitty may simply have given up hope.  One thing that I did find 'interesting' was that a number of Online Family Trees on Ancestry show that William Glasson Pool died in 1894!  Not one of them gives a date or place!  Unfortunately it does not seem possible to weed out the origins of this information as all these darned trees tend to 'feed off each other'. The 'source citation' in each case is given as 'Ancestry Family trees'! CT |

Why are you relying on Ancestry Online Family Trees?
When they feed off each other!

I do not 'rely' on any family trees!
But I do see them as another potential source of information.
Even bad or incorrect information can be useful as it originated from somewhere and that 'somewhere' might also be the source of something that is useful.

It sounded as if you did rely on them.
But I can't see how incorrect or bad information can be useful as the place where it originates from is usually bad as well.

I have been staying away hoping that you would work out who this Thomas and Elizabeth were ;D

Welcome back mate!  Once I realised who Jane/Jenifer was I decided to 'bail out' and leave the identity of Thomas and Elizabeth to the experts!  The answer will be found eventually. CT |

No obvious Thomas and no marriage to an Elizabeth, weird.
