I have obtained on CD ROM a digital version of the Cornish 1569 Muster Roll, transcribed by T.L. Stoate.
I am happy to do look-ups for all enquirers.
Post your request on this thread .... .

Mark - (just when you have time) any mention of the name Trewhella (and var.) would be handy.
Thanks - Ian

You have the Trewhella entries for the 1569 Muster and the Henry VIII Subsidies, sent to you by e-mail.
The amounts are wrong - for pennies read pounds!
Feel free to post them here too if you think they might help other people.

Thanks Mark - been busy and also been offline for just over a week due to telecom cables being cut in South Australia so am trying to catch up on a few things. Still not moved but started paying rent on the new place a couple of days ago. Still trying to figure out how to move (and fit) everything and then, a couple of days ago, I found the lane behind my existing residence is basically blocked off. Guess what - not much avenue available to get furniture out of here and into the next place. Should be moved soon.

Hi there. Thanks for the lookup offer. I was wondering if any DUN or ELLIS names showed up in Camborne. Spellings vary of course - could even be DOWNE or DONE.

Hi Mark, Any Row/Rowe or Noal/Noall names would be lovely. No rush. Many thanks

Downes & Ellises in Camborne
There are no Ellises, or similar sounding name, in Camborne in the 1569 Roll, but
John Downe, pikeman - equipped with a pike William Downe, able billsman - equipped with a bill.
Nobody else with a similar sounding name.
Hope that helps!

NOALL
The following appear in the 1569 Muster:
Gunwalloe
Charles Noall, able archer
St Ives
Paris Noall, able billsman, equipped with a bill, coat of plate and a scullion. John Noale, able billsman, equipped with a bill Thomas Noale, billsman, equipped with a bill
Newlyn East
James Nolle, able billsman, equipped with a bill
Stithians
William Nole, billsman, equipped with a bill
Illogan
Jamys Nole, billsman, equipped with a bill
Gulval
John Noll, equipped with a bill
As for Ellis, there are loads and loads of them across Cornwall recorded. Do you want the lot, or to be more specific about parish or hundred?

To Mark T, thank you for the Downe lookup for Camborne. Not sure how they fit in yet.

Many thanks for the Noall look-ups. Interesting that one was called Paris... the Noall family in St Ives were said to have originated from 2 brothers who came over from France. Did you mean Rowe instead of Ellis? If so, any Rowe from the St Ives area would be great. Also, just to prove my ignorance, could you tell me what a "billsman" was? And what "equipped with a bill" meant Thank you

Sorry, I meant Rowe!
I'll look for you in St Ives.
The Muster Roll records what weapon they were trained in, and what weapon/equipment they possessed. Some would not have their own weapon, but might obtain from the parish store - normally kept in the church.
A bill is a combined axe-spear, rather like a halberd. In other areas of England at this time it was going out of use in favour of the pike, but Cornishmen lagged behind and were still using it more than elsewhere in England.

Stubborn buggers the Cornish. ;D But very patient. People tend to know when a Cornishman's patience has been worn enough. ;D

Two possible hits in St Ives:
Thomas Raw, able billsman, armed with a bill John Roswall, able billsman, armed with a bill.
Hope that helps!

Hi Mark, I'd be interested in any EARL's or ALLIN's in Kilkhampton, Morwenstow, Poughill and Launcells areas. Thanks

No problem!
My search for 'Earl' and 'Allin', and similar sounding names, revealed none in Kilkhampton, Morwenstow or Poughill.
In Launcells were;
Phillip Earell, armed with a bill, and John Earell, able archer, armed with a bow & 6 arrows.
Happy New Year!
