A continuation from initial introductions by our New Member - Fred. Henry TREWHELLA married Jane COCKELL 3rd February 1856 at Madron Until now all I have ever known of Jane was that she was born at Penzance about 1835 and was the daughter of George COCKELL. Jane was buried at Penzance 27th March 1892, age 55. I have found Jane's family in the 1841 Census and note that there are several other Cockell/Cockel families on the same page. In 1851 I cannot find any of this name at all in Cornwall! Have tried lots of options to no avail so will have a look at 1861 to see if I can find George Cockell and then, hopefully, use the information to search 1851 again. Strange - have found George and his family very easily in 1861 simply by using the name 'George Cockell' as a search term - no other information entered! Found them - as CORKELL I should add here something further from the initial threads. Henry TREWHEELA and Henry TREWHELLA were father and son - the elder man married Elizabeth HONEYCHURCH. Now that I have made this start I need to finish off for a while and continue setting up the computer room and try to organise a couple of other rooms in this new house so that I can move around and find things a little more freely and easily. Seems I might need to find a few things very soon.

Hi CT
The spelling thing I have found quite interesting. The 1841 census has the family as COCKLE living in Barbican as do the Madron and Penzance Baptisms 1756 - 1888 where 7 baptisms are noted. I suspect that the name not being Cornish was heard and spelled in different ways. Also interesting is that Thomas CORKHILL (coastguard is spelt the Manx way - or one of them!!)
Look forward to continuing ( see also reply on Surname Interests)
Fred
