Have checked some more notes and found one about Capt Anthony Tregerthen owning a vessel called "The Union" which he traded between Llanelly and Bristol and also owned another called "Ann". Now I think this came from Pigots list but it is not confirmed. Now I'm confused, was this was Old ANthony (St Ives) or Young Anthony !! (Llanelly)

Capt Anthony Tregerthen is supposed to have owned a vessel called "The Union" and also one called "Ann" This from old letter and in Piggits list.

OR - is it the same person. Are there any dates associated with this information regarding the two ships "The Union" and "Ann" That might help. YES - if we have some dates for when Anthony had these ships we 'might' be able to find something on his trading movements. This, in turn, may help identify other possible children of Anthony and I would have to throw in the possibility that there may have been some born outside Cornwall. Will await your next before trying to proceed further.

:)BREAKTHROUGH!!!! Was searching about Sarah Mitchell, kind man steered me onto Penwith Site, where he had seen Anthony Tregerthens name. Contacted it and "Ann" was doing her brother in laws tree, which is from Ellen a Sister to our John. (Both Grandchildren of ANthony from St Ives) Evidently the Grandparants of ANthony brn 1735 approx. were WILLIAM TREGERTHEN AND MARY ANTHONY. Ann wrote: (Believe Anthony to have been orphaned age three, no further record of his sisters Elizabeth and Rebecca . Anthony trained to be a doctor but did not appear to enjoy this and went to sea. infor Cornwall Fam. Hist) She then lists Ellen decendants which is just great. This is something to go on, it appears he must have been left plenty of money to train as dr. and perhaps latter buy vessels ? Would like to prove this aspect before being sure I think.Will now look up Anthony and Mary see what comes up.

Well done - and keep going. I cannot do much more now as should have been in bed a couple of hours ago. However - keep me updated and I will try to look at this again after work.

Put you wrong there the site was genesreunited where Ian put me onto Tregerthen Family. Have swapped information, but have yet to enquire how they are sure about William Tregerthen and Mary Anthony as I couldn't find them on IGI anywhere.

That is one thing I can help with. From the Phillimore & Taylor Marriage Transcript for St Ives:- William Tregerthen m. Mary Anthony 25th November 1679 at St Ives Will try and take another look at this later on and after I have dealt with some other queries.

Hi, A Cousin just returned from Cornwall with a pamphet for me to look at. Went into www.familyhistoryonline.net and found all these things relating to my family. I was wondering if you have access to this place, if not I will pay to join as it looks very promising. One entry shows :ANthony Tregerthen Cornwall Marriage Index 2 entries 1760 1773, one entry shows : Anthony Tregerthen Burial Index Cornwall 1780, Could this be Anthony dying before his son Anthony was brn 1781. One entry show:Grace Tregerthen Cornwall Burial Index 1762, This looks spot on for Childbirth death or soon after the birth of Elizabeth died 1762. The best one yet: Jno Tregerthen: Names in Goverment Gazettes, Victoria c 1858-1900. 1 Entry Victoria 1861. This would be spot on for my missing G Grandfather who came to NZ. He entered on his Intention to Marry form that he was here 18months before marriage and he married in 1863. Always had the thought he was in Australia before coming here !.No other record of him since age of 7 in Wales. Looking forward to your thoughts on all this, and if you have access to the site, but only when you have the time to spare. Just because I have plenty of spare time just now, what with it being winter months and not off to fishing yet.Regards Ara

Hi there This site is well worth joining. Searches are free, but you have to pay to view the results of the search. However, if none of the results look promising then you haven't lost anything. The charge to "pay as you view" is quite small. I am a member, but have used up all my credit at the moment. I just top it up when and if I need to. Hope this helps.

Hello Again Unfortunately I do not have paid access to the site you mention. Now - some thoughts. The 1780 Burial of an Anthony Tregerthen is very interesting and may well be as you suggest. What we need is to find the date of burial and see how it matches with the baptism of the younger Anthony. And to 'perhaps' add some weight to this idea I just found something worth thinking about in Phillimore & Taylor Marriages for St Ives:- William Purchase m. SARAH TREGERTHEN by licence 11th May 1784 Have searched through to the end of 1792 for any possible marriage at St Ives for Sarah. It does not state she is a 'widow' but that 'may not' mean much. The problem is that I have at least one more possibility for that marriage - Sarah d/o John and Sarah Tregerthen bp. 1760 at St Ives. I also have three others but they were out on the Scillies so may be unlikely. I agree with you about the Grace Tregerthen entry. As for your John Tregerthen - a very high possibility as many people in those days went to New Zealand via Australia. I also just did a check of the 'Pioneer Index' of BDMs for Victoria through to 1887 and could find a reference there to only one William Herbert Tregarthen. I will see if I can find any record of John Tregerthen arriving/departing Australia. You will certainly be notified if I am successful but it will depend on what records I am able to access once I find the site I want. Will try.

I tried but it appears the Shipping and Passenger List information I am looking for is not online. Please update me with any further information you find and I will try to check it further for you.

A brief read here shows that some things might be falling into place but I am dog-tired and have to work today so must leave it for now. Will try to take another look through this after work.

Sorry, forgot to put this one in re Jno Tregerthen: Names in Government Gazettes, Victoria c 1858-1900. 1 Entry Victoria 1861. The entry says: Jno Tregerthen, State: Victoria; Location: Williamstown; Year: 1861; Subject: Unclaimed letters; Page 2457.

Yes to all listed but don't think the Uny Lelant one of ours. Some questions, please! The Burial of ANthony Tregerthen 1780 does it say his age, or Parents please. The Elizabeth Tregerthen (born 1775) does it show who married perhaps her in 1802? Mary Tregerthen Buried Index 1733-1752 was one of them married to William Tregerthen? Sarah Tregerthen nee Mitchell did she REMARRY 1784 or did she die as Sarah Tregerthen between 1780-1802 List? William that married Mary Anthony in 1679 is that his death in 1736 or next one? How do you suggest I follow up the Williamstown Victoria Australia link about John Please. Many Thanks Ara
