By the way, I have just seen this website of Cornish surnames (on a rootsweb Cornish mailing list) http://freepages.history.rootsweb*.*com/~kernow/names_a.htm (please delete asterisk) Julyan / Julian is said to be a Romano-Celtic surname. Joy

Oops, sorry, Geoff - I posted my reply just now before reading yours! So glad that the OPC has been in contact so quickly and helped you. Joy

If you look in this website, Geoff, there is interesting information (including links to certain census):- www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/Cornwall/Withiel The parish of Withiel is in the Bodmin Registration District. If I were you, to confirm the names of his parents, I would send for the birth certificate for William Julyan, as you know his exact date of birth, from the Superintendent Registrar at the Register Office in Bodmin, the address for whom I have found is:- 'Lyndhurst' 66 Nicholas Street Bodmin Cornwall PL31 2AG telephone: 01208 73677. Nine times out of ten, that is the method that I use for obtaining birth and death certificates. I would be happy to give you the wording that I use in my letter accompanying my cheque for £7 to the Superintendent Registrar, if you would like that. Joy

SECOND TIME OF TRYING , MESSAGE HAS GONE ADRIFT SOMEWHERE THANKS TO ALL, SAMUEL AND TEMPERANCE WERE WHJ PARENTS CONFIRMED BY THE OPC TODAY, WH WAS MISSING FROM CENSUS AS HE WAS IN ANOTHER PARISH AT TIME. AGAIN THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT ON THIS. AS WE SAY ' PROPER JOB ME ANSOMES.

Geoff - another useful thing to do would be to subscribe (free) to the rootsweb mailing list for Cornwall. You may meet other Julyan researchers there as well as the online parish clerks. For this - go to www.rootsweb*.*com (delete asterisk, please) - once there, click on Mailing lists, scroll down to the box marked International, and click on England. Then click on CORNISH-GEN. Scroll down, and click on Subscribe to CORNISH-GEN-D (digest). That will produce an email from you to send to subscribe to the mailing list. You will receive a welcome email which is self-explanatory. Joy

Geoff, the 1871 census came be found free online within the www.kindredconnections*.*com site (please delete asterisk). People are kindly looking up census for you on www.ancestry*.*com to which one has to pay to subscribe to read the census, for the 1861 etc. Keep asking questions, we shall try to help. I have only been researching my family's history - the social type, geographical etc not just names and dates - since 1999, so I am still on an upward learning curve. First, I went to the library to borrow two particular books, then bought them - George Pelling's Beginning Family History, and Colin Roger's Family Tree Detective. Joy

Just wondering how typical this surname was in the area? I haven't come across it before apart from Col Julyan in Du Maurier's Rebecca. ( I am often looking at docs etc from this part of the world as have relatives there). Given she wrote about that part of the world thought it may be of interest if you weren't aware? Curious.

GOOD MORNING TO YOU ALL,

Re assure me that Samuel and Temperance are Wh parents and we will leave it at that for tonight, somebody pleaseeeee.

Joy, my head is spinning, i don't who i'm looking for anymore. is it always this hard to track info, i don't know where to look for all these census 1871 1861.

This is a very useful site for Cornwall: www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/Cornwall Try clicking on Cornwall Towns and Parishes at the top of the screen. Underneath ''Select a letter below to go directly to entries starting with that letter'', click on 'W' and you will see information about Withiel Another interesting site: www.tregoneyhistory*.*co.uk

Thanks Jim.

Jim, you have lost me what neighbours are you talking about?

Last Problem for today i promise, William h on the 1851 census Parents as we now know Samuel and Temperance, shows wh born Tregony the 1871 shows born withiel which is where the confusion sets in because 99.9% matches with my Tree, which do you think is correct or do we have the wrong parents?

On the 1871 she is widowed. Image being sent to you now. Joy

Help!! I have come across a snag with Eliza jane( pedlar) julyan. I have notes on her parents, mother called Emma Rosvear father called Josiah Chapman supposidly where would i get the pedlar from maybe a second marriage would it be possible?

Just in case this helpd (or maybe hinders) Inmate St Clement St Clement was the old parish Workhouse, later converted to the Union Workhouse. St Clement is a pretty, rural area just outside Truro. But the Union Workhouse, called St Clement because of a peculiarity in the boundaries, is actually built slap bang in the middle of what is now a main dual carriageway through the centre of Truro. It is still there today but has been converted into extremely upmarket flats and apartments. The OLD, original Parish Workhouse, which was situated in St Clement, was used as a fever/isolation hospital for the poor - a sort of annexe to the main Workhouse, but a mile or so from it, once the Union Workhouse was built in the centre of Truro. Cornwall County Council website has a link to History. The Cornish are all deeply interested in thjeir family history and I think you will find the OPC extremely helpful and knowledgable. I live near Truro, so am happy to do any ferreting for you, but please bear in mind that the Cornwall Records Office has a long wait for appointments. Olde Crone
