Wallis - Humphrys

[londoner]

I think maybe it is time to put my lot where they belong.
Robert Wallis 1754 – 1836) (probably s/o John & Jane nee Hosken of St Buryan) buried with his wife Mary(1756 – 1829) behind Sennen Church. We have not been able to positively identify Mary - possibly Mary Trevail or Mary Hutchens.
Robert & Mary had a large family:

Baptised at Sancreed
Mary 1781 Married William Trudgen* at Madron 1803

Baptised at St Buryan

John 1782 (should this be Jane? M James Hosking*(poss at Madron 1802?)
*Robert 1784 (probably m Ann Trudgen Madron 1812 see 1841 & 51 (Landed proprietor))
*Joseph 1788 m Martha Wallis (d/o James) 1818
*Thomas 1787 m Phyllis Thomas
Catherine 1790 m Peter Tonkin* @ Sennen

Baptised @ Sennen
1793 Honor m Jonathan Humphrys (illeg s/o Jonathan Humphrys & Mary Harvey)*
1796 John ?
1798 Martha m Richard Botheras*
1799/1900 Elizabeth (no baptism found but age32 at death in 1832) m John Short - son John*

Baptised @ Madron
James* 1803 (married and lived at Sennen, Treeve)

Baptised @ St Just
1788 William* possibly but should be 1781
1791 John ?
1799 Francis?

* = mentioned in will

Jonathan & Honor's daughter Ann married her cousin William George s/o William and was my gt gt grandmother.

If anyone can shed any light on what I call the "Robert & Mary" problem i'd be grateful - Ian has been a great help but we seem to have run into one of those "brick walls".
And if anyone want to know more about their descendants I have quite a bit sorted.

Still have lots to do - including getting consistent Internet Connection - but will do what I can and as soon as I can.

Do not despair - I am their. ;D

I have modified the above post as the baptism date for Mary that I previously had at St Just was far too late for her to have married in 1803. The Sancreed baptism would make sense if mother Mary was Trevail as there are other Trevail families in Sancreed at that time.
Still cannot find baptisms for Jane & Elizabeth.

There is a James Hosken m. Jenifer Wallis 28th January 1804 at Madron. One of yours?

Yes. we are pretty sure this is Jane - have found her later with daughter Catherine Trudgen. The only other Jennifer was daughter of Nicholas Wallis at Sancreed but she died unmarried.

Another reminder.

Keep going my friends and I will try to catch up with this in the next couple of days.

Different problems are making it hard for me to keep up at the moment but I will catch up and do what I can.

(And I mean things outside this Forum!)

Hi Londoner

Thanks for the list of Robert Wallis and Mary Hutchens children.

I just groan when I see the same names re-occurring

Enjoy the weekend

just to update - I am now fairly sure that the St Just baptisms do not belong to this Robert & Mary but to Robert (1754-1821) son of Francis Wallis who married a Mary Humphreys at St Just.

Still no closer to finding the missing baptisms though - unless it is connected with Robert's links with the Baptist church, son James later became minister and Robert's will mentions the building of the Penzance Baptist Chapel. That doesn't explain though why most were christened.

None of the baptisms appear in the RG4 Non-conformist registers which are apparently all those NC registers surviving for pre-Civil Registration.
