There is an entry for Jane OATS m Henry GONINNAN 29 Aug 1742 in the IGI. None of the research works that I have, mention this marriage. This may be a difficult one to solve. The earliest links to Ludgvan Oats families is Marten m Jane JAMES Jan 1706/7. They had a daughter Jane b circa 1710. She is believed to be the Jane that married Charles WILLIAMS 1734.
Jane born to Thomas and Jane RAWLING Feb 1720/1 died Apr 1724.
There is a Jane unaccounted for and that is Jane bpt 5 Feb 1714/5 St Just, dau of John and Honour OLIVIE. This is the most likely candidate.
Jane bpt 20 Aug 1726 St Just, dau of John and Jane GAND, m James MAYN 27 Feb 1749/50.
Those are all the recorded records. I would have to look at all the records for families having children during this period to make an educated guess that there is a missing record.

I just called my Grandfather who stated that the Blight name is familiar to him from his childhood. He also stated that his GG Grandfather Richard (1813-1851) had a father named Richard. This would support the Floyd side of the Richard Floyd/Mary Blight marriage equation.

We are getting there slowly. We just need a way to check the relevant Devon records to see if we can find that marriage and see what additional information it might contain. CT

Rob - thanks for your input. But if the burial record is to be believed then a baptism in 1714/15 is about six or seven years too early. The fact that there is already a potential husband for the daughter of Martin Oates also indicates that there must be a baptism missing somewhere. Is anything known of the John and Mary (widow) Oats who left Wills in 1753 and 1765 respectively at Ludgvan? CT

There was a St. Hilary marriage on 5 August 1780 between Nicholas Roberts (baptised St. Hilary 13 March 1757; buried St. Hilary 27 May 1817)and Jemima Goninan. There is an OPC St. Hilary burial record on 27 November 1823 for Jemima Roberts aged 72 of Calenzia Hill. Any ideas as to whether Jemima Goninan may be related to the Goninan family connected to Ludgvan already mentioned as I have been unable to locate any baptism record for her?

WRT John OATS and Mary CANARTHEN of Ludgvan; John was the son of Martin. There may be a link with this family and the GONINAN name is a red herring. John and Mary m.Jan 1730/1 Ludgvan. They had a daughter Jane bapt 1732 who died in infancy (IGI). They named another daughter Jane bapt 23 Jan 1736. She married Ephraim BLIGHT 7 Nov 1761 Ludgvan.

Thanks Rob - Jane was the second wife of Ephraim Blight and she died either 1780, 1781 or 1782 when there are three burials all simply recorded as 'Jane Blight'. Ephraim married for a third time in 1785 to the widowed Thomasin Rapson nee Nicholls. But there is certainly a link to some part of the Oats family via the marriage of Henry Goninnan and Jane Oats at Ludgvan in 1742. Just a matter of finding who Jane belongs to. CT

The dates for Jane Oats (GONINAN) don't look right. I would still plump for Jane b. 1715 of John and Honour OLIVIE because it is not unusual for marriage at 27. Records show a possible birth year and marriage year that match up. Thing to look at is how many children this couple had and when they stopped because menopause would occur between 45 and 52 would give a guide as to how old the woman was.

Rob - the jury is probably going to have to remain out on this one until something more substantial is found that might identify Jane.
Henry Goninnan was baptised at Breage 25th April 1717 son of John Gonynan and Thomasin Williams.
Unfortunately Henry died in 1750 and was buried at Ludgvan 21st April that year.
I have found only three children to Henry and Jane:-
Thomasin bp. 5th June 1743 Ludgvan Jane bp. 1st January 1744 Ludgvan Prudence bp. 8th June 1747 Ludgvan
Thomasin and Prudence are both names from the Goninan side with Prudence being inferred from the link to Thomas Colman who was a witness at the marriage of Prudence to George Blight in 1768.
The only other information I have is that Jane Goninan age 66 was buried at Ludgvan 26th March 1789.
All Ludgvan information is from the Ludgvan Parish Register images that I managed to obtain through FamilySearch when they were available.

I am interested in any information anyone has regarding the following line. I have pretty good info up to Mary Blight but the rest is pretty sketchy as far as documentation, stories, pictures or oral family history. I am a descendant of this family line living in Alaska and cannot travel to Cornwall to do research... so pretty much anything that anyone can add is appreciated! Also, I am specifically looking for the full name and any info on the wife of John Otes (1580 - 1608). I found a link on another page that suggests her first name may have been Margaret. John Otes (1580 - 1608) John Ots Otts (1600 - 1665), Son of John Richard Oates (1630 - 1662), Son of John Ots Anthony Oats (1659 - 1714), Son of Richard Jane James (1695 - 1724), Daughter of Anthony Nicholas Oates (1712 - 1761), Son of Jane Jane Oates (1732 - 1826), Daughter of Nicholas Prudence Goninnan (1747 - 1809), Daughter of Jane Mary Blight (1778 - 1877), Daughter of Prudence Richard Floyd (1813 - 1851), Son of Mary Thomas Floyd (1842 - 1913), Son of Richard I can help with family stories and pictures for the Floyd line from Thomas on down through Australian emigration to final settlement in the U.S. West following the US Civil War. Thanks in advance for any time or thought you may give to this post. Just examining the above; John OTTS ~1600 - 1665; ancestry not clear as there is no bapt record and birth year is an approximation. The line is correct to Anthony then it goes wrong; Nicholas bpt 1712 was the son of Marten and Jane JAMES. Marten 1680 - 1725 son of John OTES and Jane EDWARDS. Nicholas (first to be named using this name in Penwith possibly from JAMES family) and Eleanor HAMPTON m Feb 1840 Ludgvan had a daughter Jane bpt May 1740. Rob

Hi I not long joined here but as my family & I have been trying to research our Cornish rellies (Bussow ,Buzzo,Buzza-Penzance St Hilary area) I've seen these names of your rellies in census records. Oats. Floyd. By the way just to mention that there was a Floyd family in the Penzance workhouse at one point . Some Census & Parrish records are available online. Regards Taipan72.

The genealogist isn't a bad site but it requires subscription. Im currently trialling it.
