William BOTTRELL of Sancreed, yeoman, left a Will in 1724 which might be of some assistance. William named his brother Francis BOTTRELL and his sister Ann BOTTRELL and appears to have been unmarried. And sister Ann has link to Edmond Nicholas: ANN BOTTRELL of Sancreed Admon granted 6 January 1727/8 to FRANCIS BOTTRELL of Zennor, brother of the deceased. Bond by the said FRANCIS BOTTRELL, RICHARD SKEWIS of St. Just in Penwith, yeoman and EDMUND NICHOLAS of Zennor.

That is most interesting but I am not aware of any Edmund Nicholas being connected with Zennor - at least not that early. IGI shows only 24 events for Nicholas/Nichols for Zennor and the earliest is 1735 but no mention of an Edmund. Are you certain the document reads 'of Zennor'. I would be more inclined to think it is Sennen and that the way the place is written it actually looks like Zennor. e.g. 'zenen' which I have seen in many documents actually looks like 'zener' and has been misinterpreted many times. The closest link I can find at the moment would be:- Edmund NICHOLAS m. Margaret DANIEL, of MORVAH 31st July 1708 at Sennen This will be more looking into but, I am afraid, probably not tonight. Must cook some food and maybe watch my latest episode of Agatha Christie's Poirot before bed. And I believe I have another Will to look at.

'twas copied from Kathie's Cornish Probate pages - I wondered if the original might have said Sennen!
and Francis was buried at Sancreed 3 may 1729

On my 'to do' list to go through those Rosewarne Wills again carefully and see what else might be lurking there.
Regards Edmund Nicholas and Zennor - I see the point and perhaps should have explained myself a little better.
As far as I am aware Edmund Nicholas would probably not have been 'of Zennor' at any time. His connection is through his wife's brother and even then that immediate family did not seem to have a lot to do with Zennor.
Margaret Daniel was 'of Morvah' when she married Edmund at Sennen and most of her family, apart from the odd marriage, were all at Morvah. (Immediate family i.e. siblings.)
I think the key element of the conversation was identifying the correct Parish given Sennen and Zennor can look extremely similar in many of those old documents.
Just like St Ives and St Just - don't know how many times I have seen them confused. ;D

Just a thought - I have often wondered if the John Glasson mentioned as the brother of Joseph could have been the man who married Honor Perry of Zennor and then went on to Madron...?

Hi Zenobia
Unfortunately I am not at home with my notes, but the suggestion that the John Glasson you mention having other family that we now of is very interesting and I would be keen to assist with endeavouring to prove or disprove the theory when I get home.

I would like to refer to the original query and a few comments made after that
I have been reading through this for a while now and I keep coming back to Zenobia's suggestion that John Glasson, buried about 1714 at Madron, married to Honor Perry, was likely the brother referred to in Josephs will. With no facts at hand to prove it I would just like to suggest that by referring to his brothers children (1s each), and then directly to his sisters, suggests to me that his brother was possibly deceased.
Londoner states that an Eleanor Glasson was buried at St Levan in 1694. John and Honor Glasson had a daughter Eleanor who was baptised in 1685 and who is not mentioned in either of her parents wills, so she could easily be the burial in 1694.
One of the signatories to Honor Glasson's will in 1739 was Nicholas Wallis. John and Honor Glasson had a grandson named Joseph Glasson, bap 1721 at Madron.

Lannanta - your suggestion makes sense but I will reserve further comment for the time being. In case you don't already have them I have sent some items of interest to you via email.
