Agreed - but some of the other stuff (Halsetown etc.) is, I believe, available online. I think I have some of it but just have not had time to search through it. Let's keep working at it and we will find the answer. Have another new friend online (xstitch) whom I believe you have welcomed - so trying to help out there as well. Seems there might be another Trewhella connection involved that I have to work out. (We do seem to get everywhere ;D)

Point me in the direction of the Halsetown burial registers and I'll see what I can do Where did one get buried in Halsetown? However, I'm a thinking that as her last known residence was in St Ives (or was it?) that she'll either be buried there, or possibly abroad with her husband. We may not be able to narrow it down until either the next census is released and transcribed, or we get a lucky break, or we seek and we find. More Trewhellas?!!! ;D

Hi everybody, A question, are there records on occupations? As Margery Rogers was a dressmaker are there any records available for apprentiences, or a list of dressmakers that might list who employed who? Also does anyone know whereabouts [area] in Canada all the Cornish went to? She most likly would not have gone until she was at least 18? I'm guessing here. Cheers Sue Kemp

Firstly for CornishMaid - without checking my books I can only tell you of three Cemeteries in St Ives. I cannot remember the name of the Church but there is a Cemetery in the Church grounds in the middle of St Ives which was closed to burials eons ago. Barnoon is the one, I think, that took over from that one. But Halsetown is, from memory, more to the East of St Ives itself. (I should remember because I have been there ) Anyhow, there is another cemetery out that way called 'Carbis Bay Cemetery' which is where one of my 2xgt-grandfather's brother is buried. Martin Trewhella was buried at Carbis Bay in 1913 but I do not know just when the Cemetery was 'opened for business'. AND - WE SEEK AND FIND! ;D SUE - you may find that 'dressmaker' was not really a registered profession back then. It was probably akin to 'miner' or 'farmer' or 'fisherman' to be honest. Many people simply stated 'what they did to earn some money' as their profession. Sorry if that does note help much but we are still looking!

Yes, there's the Parish Church in St Ives, then Barnoon Cemetary which opened in about 1855 I think I read somewhere; then, when that became full, Longstones Cemetary in Carbis Bay. I thought Longstones opened in the late 1960's but I could be wrong. Then the other side of St Ives is Towednack cemetary. Don't think there are any at all in Halsetown. Inscriptions for these can be found online. However, scans of the actual burial records are kept at St Ives AC, which give name, location of death (ie address, at sea, country, etc), plot number, who officiated at the funeral ceremony, as well as information on next of kin/marital status. Trouble is there is no way to search these records at the moment, it's a case of going through each possible year page by page . So, if Grace S Sisley (nee Berriman) was buried there it should say either wife or widow of John Sisley. Anyway, that's by the by at the moment, as I can't find when or where she died Am looking through all my Cornish books to see if any other of the Sisley family are mentioned. It'll all come together.... one day

Hi, Does anyone know which part of Canada the Cornish migrants went to? Or any sites I could check re Canada as I think some of the Sisley's went there, she may have gone also. Cheers Sue

Me again, didn't realise there is three pages to this site. Thankyou all very much for all the work you are putting in. I really appreicate it. Re Victoria's BDM. I've looked for Margery but not John as I thought he stayed in England. Will look. As for all the other states it's not so easy but shall check. Phillipa Richards could be related to Margery, have a few Philippa's. Will check that out. Thanks again Sue.

And again, I have just waded through all the messages you have posted. I cannot find Grace Stevens Berriman on my Berriman "TREE" but that doesn't mean anything. What you have said makes sense. I had some contact with a person researching the Sisley family many moons ago, I shall look up my archive records and try and contact him again. I do know he didn't have a clue what happened to Margery but I never asked about John or Grace for that matter. Thanks Sue

Once again, John didn't pass away in Victoria, there were very few Sisley's in Victoria fromm 1836 to 1920. I found 65 Twewhella's on the Pioneer Index 1836 to 1888, 5 from Cornwall. I'll send details over but need snail mail address please if you want the 65. Cheers Sue

Sue, if the Victorian Trewhella information is intended for me then don't be concerned. I have copies of all of those Indexed records so know the ones you will be referring to.
I am still in a quandary over Margery and John Sisley but will keep thinking and working on it for you.

Just a quick update on this subject..
Sue has posted a letter in the local St Ives newspaper regarding Grace Berriman Sisley (School teacher), asking if anyone knows of any details of her or her family. Fingers crossed that someone local may know something. Everyone in St Ives reads the local paper, so here's hoping ;D

A bit late replying to this one but I do hope that Sue has some positive response that will help.
Should I come across anything useful I will, of course, post it.

Wow, lots of connections here!
Seeking info on Phyllis(Phillipa) Jenkins(Jenkyns), wife of William Nicholls Rogers m. 21 Feb 1838 at St. Ives; all I have is her name from references in the census.
Also, the parentage of Elizabeth Laity (first husband = Samuel Major), wife of Phillip Rogers m. 22 Nov. 1807 at Towedneck.
I am descended via Samuel Major Rogers, b. 20 Jun 1853 St. Ives, emigrated to New Jersey / Pennsylvania USA about 1871, m. Eliza(beth) Thomas 8 Dec 1876; their daughter Ola Rogers m. Oscar Letcher, their son William Rogers Letcher b. 20 May 1932 is my father.
I am going to St. Ives on holiday (almost coincidentally) in Sept, can spend a little time on geneo look-ups if you need anything. Thanks!
Gary Letcher
