Note: Other researchers and I had not been able to find a marriage at St. Hilary for John and Mary for decades - all we had were the baptisms of the children at St. Hilary. I discounted the marriage at Germoe, because of the gap between a 1755 Marriage and what I thought was the first birth in 1767. Then on a Cornwall site, Cornish Terrier, found the baptisms at Camborne. What we think them links them together, is that a Catherine is baptised in Camborne in 1758, and a Catharine dies in St. Hilary 30/1/1780 aged 21 years, then another Catherine is baptised St. Hilary 7/5/1780, (dies 11/4/1781 aged 1). A Joseph is born & died Germoe 1769, then a Joseph born 1770 St. Hilary. So it appears the family has the tradition of naming the next child after a previous child who has died. It also appears that there are links between Camborne, Germoe and St. Hilary ????
Children: Born Camborne: Richard 1756, Catherine 1758-1780, William 1761, Mary 1765; Born St. Hilary: Daniel 1767; Born and Died Germoe: Joseph 1769-1769; Born St. Hilary: Joseph 1770, Jane 1773, Alexander 1776, Catherine 1780-1781.
