Trebilcock
- Perranzabuloe
While I have information back to 1500s for the Trebilcocks in my tree, I need to establish with certainty which William Trebilcock married Jenefer Pascoe 31/10/1784 in Perranzabuloe. Perranzabuloe burial register shows William aged 64 14/9/1827 but there is no birth recorded in parish for a William of that time. Jenefer was baptised 14/1/1761 and buried 28/1/1821 both in Perranzabuloe. William and Jenefer lived at Reen. Distinct possiblity William may be born Gwennap 31/3/1755. There is another William Trebilcock born Gwennap 7/4/1764 but it would seem he married Catharine Davis 6/6/1785 at Gwennap. Naming of children also points to these marriages occurring that way. I will soon overview Gwennap registers at local LDS which may assist. Can anyone else direct me. If anyone else has any Trebilcock queries please ask, I may be able to help.

DINAH WOOLCOCK : Perranzabuloe / St. Agnes area
- Perranzabuloe
I'm looking for the baptism / place of origin for Diana / Dinah WOOLCOCK
around 1752. That date is based on her age at burial (Plymouth 1835) being 83, which could, of course, be innacurate.
She married Thomas Wilkin at St. Agnes, 22 JAN 1781. One of the witnesses was an Ephraim Woolcock, but this occurrs more than once in the area so could be father, brother or cousin.
I found a possible marriage, John Woolcock m. Diana James, Perranzabuloe, 17 JUL 1748 (Phillimore vol. XVI) but no baptism for Dinah.
Also, does anyone know the history of another Diana Woolcock, who died aged 77, at St. Agnes and was buried there 28 SEP 1795 ?
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Andrew Truscott
- Perranzabuloe
I am searching for info. on Andrew Truscott who married Catherine May on 14 May 1831 at Perranzabuloe. I have a Marriage Cert for his son William May Truscott which identified Andrew as a Blacksmith.

I have found through the Census for Perranzabuloe, Head of Household Catherine Truscott and 5 children born from Abt 1826 to 1834 Fanney, Gershon, Andrew, William May and Catherine Grace.Census and other local record show nothing for Andrew Truscott. Also who are the parents of Andrew Truscott DOB abt. 1802 are they Thomas and Ann Truscott. Any info would be much appreciated.
