I have just stumbled across an e-book of 1819/20 (whilst looking for clues as to some Canadian "Curnews", how does that work?!), being An Alphabetical List of Subscribers to the Loyal Declaration in Cornwall, in response to the Peterloo Riots.
It names 5 Curnow subscribers who are listed as residents of St Ives: Matthew, Benjamin, Charles, Edmund, Jacob & Michael. 5 of them I can identify; but Edmund Curnow an adult in 1819??? Perhaps an error; if not, a mystery!
Oh yes, Happy 2014....

Interesting.  Given the earliest Edmund/Edmond Curnow I know of is Edmund Gould Curnow born about 1818 at Madron and the earliest Edward I know of is the son of John and Grace bp. Phillack 1828 then it would appear there might be a problem.  However, working on the assumption that the contents of said e-book are a typed/printed copy of information transcribed from original handwritten documents then I do have a likely solution.  I would suggest that 'Edmund' is actually EMANUEL Curnow (1776-1838 St Ives) who married Elizabeth Quick at St Ives in 1802.  CT |

Ah yes, your analytical mind wins the day again! Emanuel, brother of co-signatory Matthew, that would entirely make sense as a transcription error. It had fleetingly crossed my mind that it might perhaps be a misinterpretation of handwritten Richard (Richard 1784 Towednack marrying in St Ives as a widower by 1838......)  but Emanuel is far more likely. Thankyou. Sue |

Yes, I think Emanuel will be the man. All seem to have been well-known and well-established entities at St Ives and with definitely no Edward or Edmund at St Ives before at least 1818 Emanuel is the logical answer. Matthew, Charles, Jacob and Michael are all well known Curnow names at St Ives during that period and Benjamin of course was Benjamin Stevens Curnow. CT |

but Emanuel is far more likely. Thankyou.
