Roy Report 8 Mar 2022 23:06

Hi guys I have had a lot of help from this page so here is another request.
I am trying to find out anything about William Hoskin Oliver and Mary Ann Smith.
I believe Williams parents were Henry Oliver, born 1794, and Elizabeth Hoskins, born 1766. William was born in Bodmin in 1794 and died in 1853 in Bodmin. Mary was born in Looe in 1794 and died in the March 1/4 1888 in Bodmin. They were married 28 October 1819.
I believe they had 10 children, this is were I am not too sure of things. There children, as far as I know are as below:-

Edwin John, b 1820 Bodmin
William Henry b 1821 Bodmin
Reuban Grylls b 1823 Bodmin, and died in Plymouth 1889
Minear b 1825 Bodmin
Thomas Ford b 1828
Mary Ann b 1831
Henry James b 10/4/1833 Bodmin
Susan Mineards b1835 Bodmin
Caroline Ford b 1837 Bodmin
Isabel b 24/4/1838 Bodmin

As you can see I have ,what I think is correct, birth dates but I would really like to get more information on these people.

So any help would be appreciated.
