William Henry GLASSON JOHNS

[Glazin2018]

Hello CT et al

I am in the process of checking through the William GLASSON baptisms.  I came across this one from the OPC database.

Day Month 29-Jan

Year 1854

Parish Or Reg District Ludgvan

Forename William Henry

Surname GLASSON/JOHNS

Sex son

Father Forename William Henry GLASSON

Mother Forename Elizabeth JOHNS

Residence Church Town

Father Rank Profession Miner

I wondered about that as I was pretty sure that there was not a birth for this man, either as a William Henry GLASSON or as a William Henry JOHNS with the mother's maiden name being JOHNS as well.

Then I wondered if it was an error with the name - and it was more likely to be William Henry Glasson JOHNS and his wife Elizabeth.  I found a Ludgvan marriage in 1853 for this couple with Elizabeth's name POLGREAN and sure enough this maiden name matched a William Henry JOHNS birth in the December quarter of 1853.

But I do not know who William Henry Glasson JOHNS is and before I go looking I was wondering if you have him amongst your collection?

Certainly!

William Henry Glasson son of Elizabeth JOHNS and William GLASSON was baptized at Ludgvan 19th November 1826 (born 5th March 1826) (I'll send a copy of the image via email)

My database was last updated with this information 21st April 2016 at which time I had not been able to work out which William Glasson was involved.
