Hello from Virginia, USA. New here and new to genealogy. I am tracing my paternal Rowe line from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan which is about as similar to Cornwall as they could find in the states. Only major difference is that they went from tin to copper and from the Atlantic to Lake Superior. I look forward to researching ROWE, EDDY, OSBORN, NORTHEY, and TRATHEN, all from St. Just. I have some references to St. Blazey, St. Levan and St. Buryan, but mainly St. Just.

Mary Eddy b.20 Oct 1805 St. Just, d. 22 Apr 1880 Hancock, MI Married 31 Oct 1831 in St. Just to William Osborn Rowe b. 14 Mar 1808 St. Just, d. 14 Oct 1891 Iron Mountain, MI. Immigrated 1874 See my post in queries. I "think" her father was James Eddy b.5 Jan 1772 (>John Eddy and Mary Grose); and mother Sarah Jane Thomas b, 2 Nov 1772 (> William Thomas and Elizabeth _______), all in St. Just, but this is the work of others I have not been able to contact nor verify. You can imagine my delight at finding this place... And yours?

Hello Rowen, and welcome ;D I have Rowes on my paternal side too, but they are from St Ives. There are a lot of nice, knowledgeable, helpful people on this site (and some like me who just muddle along and try to be helpful ) who are only too happy to try and help. Hopefully between us all we'll be of help in some way to each other. Looking forward to reading your posts.

Thanks for the welcome. I have no real proof that my Mary Rowe was from St. Just. She maybe just happened to be there when she had her son. Since William Osborn Rowe took her name I am thinking maybe no marriage to William Osborn. Perhaps the Osborn household where she supposedly was a cook was in St. Just. My source is an older woman in Michigan who may well have passed by the time I got myself in gear and started all this. I haven't been able to contact her and I am not sure just where she got her info. All I am absolutely sure of are the Rowe's in Michigan from William Osborne Rowe and Mary Eddy forward. As I am beginning to find out the hard way, logical progression doesn't always accomplish much..... Any and all help is appreciated.

Mm, having had a look at the St Just In Penwith marriage register transcription it says that William Osborne Rowe was "of St Buryan", whilst Mary Eddy was of the parish. So a look at the St Buryan area might be useful. Also it might be useful to relate the witnesses at the marriage for everyone, which were John Eddy and James Osborne. Just keep posting anything you feel might be useful.

Trencrom you are amazing...thank you so much for looking.
The list of children I have with Mary Eddy Rowe (b. 20Oct1805, St. Just, d.22APR 1880 MI) is: William Osborn Rowe. 23Jan1832, St. Buryan, d.23May1885 (Eng.?)
James Rowe 16Jun1834, St. Just d. MI - Married Mary Ann Northey, 1858-1864 in St. Blazey, Children Jane Eddy-b.1859 and Thomas-b.1864. Thomas is my direct link.
Naboth Rowe b. 9Jan1837-Chr. 15Jan1837, St. Just, d.17Feb1841-Eng.(Wonder could Mary and Naboth have been twins or is what I have just wrong?)
Thomas Rowe b. 26Mar1842 St Just
Richard Osborn Rowe 30Aug1847, Eng., d.24Apr1915 MI-Married Mary Ann Trathen (b.6Sept1848 St Blazey, d.11May1925 MI- child William b.18Sept1872 Eng. died 1874 Atlantic Ocean)
I have no Mary-1837 or William-1836.
See my post under Queries-Did find James(St. Just), Mary Ann(St. Austell) and Jane E.(St.Just) in St. Blazey census in 1861; and William(St. Levan), Mary(St. Just), Jane E. and Thomas in 1871 on Fore Street St. Blazey census. Trying to track Mary Ann now.
Also found a William P. Tin Miner 51(St. Stephens), Mary 52(St. Just), and Richard 15 in 1861 St. Blazey on the same street (Bridge Road) as James that is probably mine.

"Also Sarah Rowe, reputed father William Osborn, chr. 19.4.1789 at St Levan, buried 1.7.1836 at st Levan aged 38." Don't quite know what to think about this one. I have William Osborn as husband, or at least father of "my" Mary's child William Osborn Rowe b.14Mar1808. My 3Xg-grandfather. I am Mary(maybe Sarah)>William Osborn Rowe>James Rowe>Thomas Rowe>Arnold Richard Rowe> Kenneth Arnold Rowe>Me. I am going to try to check births in St. Levan, St. Buryan and St. Stephens for my William Osborn Rowe.

Last thing for today, I promise (hopefully). Just an interesting aside. My father flew bombers from England during WWII. Was shot down twice, captured the second time and spent the last six months of the war in a prison camp. Knowing what I do now about him, it wouldn't surprise me to find I probably have even MORE relatives in England.....not quite so distant....

A very belated WELCOME from the Cornish Terrier. Afraid I have been offline for just over a week (again) due to a telecommunications having been cut somewhere in South Australia. But - I am back for a while (before I move house when I may be offline again for, hopefully, only a short time. As I have a lot of catching up to do I will not be able to do too much on this tonight. However, I do have Richard Osborne Rowe in my database as son of William Osborne Rowe and Mary (nee Eddy). My information dates back to 1999/2000 and came from a lady named Elizabeth Rowe Tobie who I believe is/was a direct descendant of Richard Osborne Rowe. I will need to try and dig through a lot of paperwork but I think this will be here:- Elizabeth Mary Hocking Rowe bn. Water St, Hancock, MI December 12th, 1915 d/o Richard Rowe and Clara Elizabeth (nee Hocking). Elizabeth married Frank Frederick Tobie at Hancock Methodist Church September 25th 1945. Her father, Richard, was son of Richard Rowe Osborne and Mary Ann (nee Trathen). I have not, as yet, gotten around to tracking down the parents of William Osborne Rowe or (this particular : Mary Eddy but will try to help you out as I am able. Will continue replies i the main threads. Ian
