Matthews, Hosking, Powning, Trestrail

[trestrail]

Can anyone connect with these Surnames being in 1788? Thanks to this wonderful site, helpers have led me straight back to my 7th grandmother ( a new surname MATTHEWS to add to the list) from Phillack, Hayle, Cornwall.

William Hosking married Elizabeth Matthews May 18th 1788 at Phillack, Cornwall. They had 3 children.
Catherine bp. 29th November 1789
Elizabeth bp. 29th April 1792
Richard bp. 28th July 1798

Their daughter, Elizabeth - 1792 - 1850 married John Trestrail 1784 - 1824. They had 6 children.
John Trestrail bp 7 June 1811

Elizabeth Trestrail bp 12 March 1815
William Trestrail bp 8 March 1818
James Trestrail bp 7 May 1820

Elizabeth Ann Trestrail bp 1849
Charlotte Powning Trestrail bp December 1855
Thomas G. Powning Trestrail bp March 1861
Eliza Emily (Minnie) Trestrail bp June 1866

Their daughter, Eliza Emily (Minnie) Trestrail, born 1866 had a son out of wedlock on Feb. 26, 1886. He was my grandfather whose name was Percy Powning Trestrail.

Eliza Emily Minnie Trestrail married a William Henry Jenkin in March 1893, and they had a few children. William Jenkin died in 1908. I did not know my grandfather had half siblings until I started searching my ancestry. I know their second child was a son.
I'd love to find out who my grandfather's father was. It is unknown but in some documents is the name Albert Trestrail for his father. He had an uncle named Albert Trestrail.

Does anyone have a connection to my Matthews, Hosking, Powning, Trestrail lineage?

Hoping to hear from someone soon.

Albert Trestrail would have been a cousin to Minnie and , therefore, first cousin once removed to Percy.

From FreeBMD it looks like Albert married in 1890 and died in 1918.

It is possible that he might have been the father of Percy but I suspect not.
It was not uncommon for someone born illegitimate to add 'a' name to the record when they married or to other documents where it might 'look better'. I have cases where it can be proved without doubt that the father's name recorded on a marriage record was actually the grandfather!
