Thanks Dianne. Any links from these names to Clemens families in the Newquay or St Columb/St Enoder areas?

Dianne - as a new poster Mike may not have realised that posts would be added to his thread. He certainly didn't acknowledge JoonieCloonies or mine. Just in case, send him a message by clicking on his name.

I have a few Clemens all from John b. 1805 in St Buryan, married Frances Pellow in 1834 in St Erth.

I had to chuckle, since I have a Cornwall ancestor who may have come from St Enoder and lived later in Newquay and then St Columb ... and had a habit of fathering children outside the bonds of marriage (in St Clement, for good measure) ... so you never know! that Mr Hoare lived up to his name ...

meanwhile as Detective says, best approach is to search family trees ... here, at Ancestry, etc. Very few members of this site ever read these boards.

a quick tree search here shows hundreds of Clemens born in Cornwall 1800 +/- 50 years (but of course many of them are people counted several times as they are in multiple trees)

there are a dozen or two for that period born in Newquay, for example

searching for specific names in your tree will likely be the best approach, as Detective says

Hi Michael and welcome to the boards.

The best way to search for descendents, is to use the Search All Members Trees - top right under 'search'. Input the earliest & latest names you know of. It anyone lists the same names, send the tree owner(s) a message.

I am looking for anyone with the surname Clemens who is known to be a descendant of the Clemens families who lived in the St Columb, St Enoder or Newquay areas of Cornwall in the 19th century or earlier. I have an extensive family tree of my own Clemens ancestors and would be happy to share that with other interested family researchers.

Many thanks,

Michael Clemens
