Edward 1822 - Paul

John Bassett and Martha Carbis - Paul
The first firm record that I have of my 3x great grandparents, John Bassett and Martha Carbis, in Cornwall is their marriage Banns, which took place in the Paul parish church on the 15 Mar 1812. Both appear to be of the Paul parish "John Bassett Sojouner of this Parish and Martha Carbis of this Parish" It is most likely that at least Martha was christened in the Paul parish church as it was the custom of the day that marriages took place in the brides's church. This assumption is reinforced by the 1851 & 1861 census returns where Paul is listed as Martha's birthplace. In the same census returns John is listed as being born in Madron,a neighbouring parish. Looking for further information on the family and the area. Sandra
