Hi Stiltz: The book is free online, which is very nice. The thing that has me a little confused is the bad reputation of Thomas and Catherine according to this book, when the obituary states that he was well-repected. I'm thinking there may be a generation missing or something.

I now think Thomas Bohenna born 1821 isn't even the natural child of Thomas born 1769 and Catherine born 1771. I think the age of the parents indicates he is someone else's child.

Calswimmer - I beg to disagree! By my reckoning your knowledge of the age of young Thomas is from the 1841 Census where he is a carpenter, age 20, and apparently in the same household as Ann THOMAS who is presumably the mother of Clarinda TREWHELLA living next door. Remember that the ages of adults in the 1841 Census were rounded down to the nearest five. Thomas s/o Thomas and Catherine BEHENNA baptised 22nd November 1816 at St Ives So Catherine would have been about 45 when he was born which is quite ok. Thomas and Catherine named their first son (second child) Thomas so we should hopefully find a burial for him sometime between 1799 when he was born and 1816. CT

OK! I didn't know about the rounding for ages. I agree he was born 1816--it agrees with his age at his death in Australia.

Cornish Terrier: Do you have a father for Martin Trewhella, the one married to Clarinda Thomas? Margaret Thomas is the mother for Martin.

Martin Trewhella was bp. 4th October 1785 at Towednack s/o Martin Trewhella and Margaret Thomas who married at Towednack 19th September 1783.
Martin (husband of Margaret) was son of Martin Trewhella and Joan Lembry.

Hi Stiltz: Are you still looking into the Behennas? I did some work on the family today and went round in a few circles but also made some progress.
