Eddy Family (St.Just in Penwith)

[xamb94]

Hey

My great-grandad is John Eddy - Son of George Henry Harvey Eddy (Tin miner who died in the Levant disaster 1919) - Grandson of John Eddy & Jane Harvey ... and so on.

The main part of the family tree I am confused with is John's siblings. Does anyone know his siblings names in age order?

John moved to Pontypridd Wales with his mother (who apparently died shortly after) & his siblings, after the disaster, to find work in the coal mines.
This is where he married Annie Williams and my Grandma & her siblings where born. Grandma met Grandad in the army & then moved to Liverpool (where my Grandad is from) &
we have quite a large family up here. This is how my family have moved from St. Just (Cornwall) --> Pontypridd (South Wales) --> Liverpool

I can't find any information on Annie Williams either, all I know is that she had a sister. Is anyone able to find information on Annie?

Thanks for any help

Hmmm, yes - it seems there might have been other children. And it would also seem that I have been guilty of neglecting one of my own golden rules ...... CHECK EVERYTHING!!!

I have just looked at the 1911 Census which is something I failed to do yesterday and as a result I have discovered that there were at least two more children born before 1911. It also appears that I should have checked some Non-conformist records although unfortunately I don't have copies of those I need in my own collection. For those I will need to check the OPC.

The 1911 Census shows that there was indeed a son named Lewis born about 1904 and there was also a second son named George Henry Eddy. Using the Census, FreeBMD and the OPC records here is an updated list of children. Bear in mind that for Privacy Reasons the online records cannot go past a certain point so it is possible there may have been other children after 1911 that won't appear in the list. And I have just discovered that even the OPC does not have Non-conformist Baptisms for St Just so that information will be from FreeBMD.

1. George Henry son of George Henry Harvey and Bertha Eddy of Princess Street St Just, miner, baptized 30th January 1901 St Just
(George Henry Eddy of Bollowell Road St Just age 6 was buried 3rd November 1907 St Just Wesleyan Cemetery)
2. Bertha daughter of George Henry Harvey and Bertha Eddy of 6 Princess Street St Just, miner, baptized 23rd April 1902 St Just
3. Naomi (born December Qtr 1903 - FreeBMD)
(Naomi Eddy of Ballowal Place St Just age 4 was buried 12th December 1907 St Just Wesleyan Cemetery)
4. Lewis Wearne (born June Qtr 1905 - FreeBMD) ***
5. John son of George Henry Harvey and Bertha Eddy of Ballowal Road, miner, baptized 3rd October 1906 St Just
6. George Henry (born June Qtr 908 - FreeBMD)
7. Naomi daughter of George Henry Harvey and Bertha Eddy of Ballowall, miner, baptized 20th October 1909 St Just (born 14th August 1909)
8. Dorothy daughter of George Henry and Bertha Eddy of North Row, miner, baptized 29th May 1913 St Just (born 24th April 1913)
9. Thora daughter of George Henry Harvey and Bertha Eddy of Bosorne Road, miner, baptized 11th December 1918 St Just (born 4th November 1918)
10. Kenneth son of George Henry Harvey (deceased) and Bertha Eddy of Bosorne Road, miner, baptized 14th January 1920 St Just (born 27th November 1919)

*** There was another Naomi Eddy registered at the same time as Lewis Wearne Eddy. Indications are that she would have been a twin to Lewis however there is no death record for her and she does not appear in 1911. Also there was a previous Naomi born 1903 who lived until 1907 and then Naomi baptized in 1909 who was age 1 in 1911. Naomi of 1905 does not appear anywhere in 1911 and I can find no other family for her.

As far as I can tell now that should be the complete list of children.
