Where are they now?
- Gwinear
I am trying to trace the Lanyon family who once owned a property known as Lanyon Gwinear (which I have a print of) whose family motto was "vive vt viva". My late aunt,Emmie(Molly)Gwendoline (nee Cooper) was married to T.S "Mark" Lanyon. He had a brother Gwinear, also there was Alastair(born about 1963; shown as a baby sitting on David's knee?) and Alison - both her Lanyon nephew and niece. So far have had no luck trying to "find" them; only four photos and "Citation 1914-1918: Military Cross" awarded to T.S. Lanyon; my main problem not knowing what the "T.S." stands for as my aunt was widowed by the time I was born. The "family" always referred to him as Mark...... If anyone recognises anyone or can give me more "history" of the family/house; it would be very much appreciated.

Pascoe And Rogers Of Gwithian, Cornwall, England And Nearby Areas In Cornwall.
- Gwithian
James Bray PASCOE married on 16 March 1844 to Ann ROGERS in the district of Gwithian, Cornwall, England. The couple later emigrated to South Australia. Anne Frances PASCOE and Eliza May PASCOE were their children born in South Australia. Ann PASCOEnee ROGERS died and her husband James Bray PASCOE then remarried - to Hannah MOULDEN in the year circa 1850 in South Australia. As a result further children were fathered in South Australia by James Bray PASCOE. Posting this query for a descendantwho is a guide to help tourists in Adelaide AND who i met and agreed to help her locate more information as a favour. (the tourist guides are volunteers and do a wonderful job for no payment at all - and are much appreciated in Adelaide South Australia so it is a fair swap)

Rogers
- Gwithian
James ROGERS and wife Ann were the parents of Ann ROGERS baptised 15 August 1819 in Gwithian and this child named Ann ROGERS married James Bray PASCOE in Gwithian Cornwall. Later Ann PASCOE nee ROGERS emigrated to South Australia where Ann PASCOE neeROGERS died. However you also may be descended from one of Ann's siblings. I expect that some remained in Cornwall. Some of the following are thought to be siblings of Ann PASCOE nee ROGERS namely the children of James ROGERS and his wife Ann, those children are possibly named:
Sophia ROGERS baptised on 1 Feb 1825 in Gwithian
George ROGERS baptised 8 Aug 1802 in Gwithian,
and another George ROGERS baptised 30 Oct 1803
Elizabeth ROGERS baptised 3 March 1822
Catherine ROGERS baptised 3 August 1817
James ROGERS baptised 3 December 1815
Josepha ROGERS baptised 17 June 1827?
The above children are purely genealogical speculation so if i am wrong please be forgiving - i know i am fishing on this one and just hope to locate someone in Cornwall related to Ann PASCOE nee BRAY through a descendant please.
