Hello all,
The Parochial History of Cornwall by Davies GILBERT would appear to be a useful book, the earlier posting from Donne quoting handy info.
On page 360 we find reference to Tredrea: "There was here a large house occupied by a family of the same name [Tredrea] who appear in the registers two centuries ago as Esquires, a distinction then sparingly applied. The property is said to have passed, by a mortgage unredeemed, to the St Aubyns of Crowan, who granted it on a lease of lives, to Mr. Matthew PHILLIPS in 1685. One of his daughters married Mr. John DAVIES, younger brother of Mr. Henry DAVIES of Bosence."

These Davies seem to appear out of nowhere and then disappear just as quickly. My GG Grandfather once owned a lot of property in St Erth, amongst which properties in Tredrea Lane, if only those deeds were still around- in fact, if only we still owned it! Hard to imagine that a row of cottages in front of Anvil House, St Erth was not considered of any value once- imagine what an entire row of granite built cottages would be worth these days! For me to afford to be able to live in Cornwall I would have to win the lottery!

I have found some leases etc have turned upon archive sites. Recently had to adapt my Weymouths because there were several on this site that gave 3 generations of them, Roy

Your comment about 'these' Davies appearing out of nowhere is interesting. The John Davies who married Elizabeth Phillips was baptised at St Erth 22nd August 1687. He was the son of William DAVIES and Catherine NOY who married at St Erth 31st July 1679. Catherine NOY was the daughter of Humphrey Noy and Hester Sandys and there is a bit about them to be found if you search the 'net. I looked around some time ago and found information that is now hidden away in some forgotten pile! One of Catherine's sisters, Hester NOY, married Henry DAVIES 'of buryan' 20th July 1695 at Exeter. From memory I have an abstract of a Will here somewhere which mentions a couple of St Buryan Davies and I believe they were cousins to this Henry and, I think, to our man at St Erth. CT

Henry Davies' arms are the same as William Davies' arms- they obviously inherited them from a common Davies ancestor. If you can dig out that St Buryan will I would be most interested as that is just up the road from Paul where most of my lot seem to come from.

I am not at all sure where that information is! I have checked Zenobia's site and also another set of Will abstracts I have here but nothing there. And I cannot, at the moment, find the information on the Noy family that was connected to this lot. But I have an idea thathe other main name was either Richard or Robert at St Buryan. I will try to lay my hands on it but it would help if I had some idea where I might have put it.

Over the years quite a lot of information has been posted about the Noy/Davies connections and it has usually been assumed that the Hester Noy who married Henry Davies of Buryan was the sister of Catherine and Jane. However the will of Hester Noy, widow of Humphrey Noy of Carnanton, clarifies that Hester who married Henry Davies was her grand-daughter and was therefore the daughter of her son Humphrey and his wife Ann Capell. Young Hester was baptised in London at St Dunstan in the West. Hester senior's other daughter (probably named Hester) married Edward Larmar, a merchant of Southampton, also sometimes described as a gent. They had one daughter, Esther, who married Samuel Davies of Perranuthnoe. Esther's mother appears to have died before 1702 as she is not mentioned in Hester senior's will although Edward is referred to as her son-in-law. I have made a transcription of Hester's will if it is of interest.

I have replied via PM with details of the Will you requested.
Once you have read and digested the details it would be appreciated if you could update the details and some of the connections for this family here. That will be of great help to others interested in this particular family and their connections to others in West Penwith.
