I have spent more or less all day saving and printing entries! I know they will disappear before long so I'm trying to do as much research as I can.
For me this means pursuing the female line too, which is why I'm so busy. Before 1820 a large branch of my family would have been in Cornwall and I'm pushing backwards!

I've picked up quite a few of my family from the site.
If anyone has lost Worcester or Wiltshire men in the 1700 and 1800's, there were a lot of them in the foot regiments and Militia stationed in Cornwall and marrying local girls in Kenwyn.

I have found so many branches now, Nell.
I have just found a probable error in the burial register for St Austell! NBI 3 and the burial record give the burial of "William Rundle Snell" on 15 March 1835 aged 1. I was very interested as the sister of my 3x gt grandfather married Nicholas Snell and the Daddow family ( the sister was born Sarah Dadow) used the name Rundle (maiden name of grandmother). I couldn't find any baptisms for William Rundle Snell, but I did find the baptism of William Snell Rundle! I believe the minister got rather confused and transposed the two!

I've had that with one of my ancestors, on a personal submission on the IGI. I think the personal submitter wanted the last name to be the chap's father but he was illegitimate so had his father's name as a middle name.
Either way Rundle Snell is a great name, sounds like a character out of a novel!

Nell, don't you just love some of the Cornish names?
I've been making a collection of some of the Christian names: Candatia Pasquis Ambrose (Ambrose Rundle is my ancestor!) Dig(g)ory Loveday Duance Gershom Thomasin Ealoner (Eleanor?) Melchizzedech(k) Sidwell (girl) Malachi Baltesshezzar (male) Also the spelling: Jenepher And not unusual, but I have notice how popular it is: Philippa (my daughter's name)
