Date Family
- Sithney
I am researching my family line on my father's side. When I originally posted my details on the site some months ago, I believed that I decended from the Date family who were based in Somerset. Through research, I now know that this is incorrect as my decendants were from Cornwall, namely from Constantine, Breage and Sithney. Through the willingness of others to share information, I have amassed a great deal which I am slowly putting onto a family tree. However, I would be delighted to hear from anyone who may be a DATE or have a DATE connection in their family trees to discuss any links that there may be.

Body Family From South Hill, In Eastern Cornwall
- South Hill
My own BODY Family originates in the nearby Parish of QUETHIOCK. My Gx5 Grandparents, John BODY and Thomasine TOLL, married in July 1731, at St. Hughs Parish Church, QUETHIOCK, CORNWALL. In the course of my reseach, I have traced several other BODY Families, in EASTERN CORNWALL and WESTERN DEVON. I have traced a BODY Family in SOUTH HILL back to the Marriage, on 30 Decemer 1734, in SOUTH HILL Parish Church, of John BODY and Judith WENMOUTH. I believe that this John BODY was Baptised, on 22 December 1702, st St. Cuby Parish Church, DULOE, CORNWALL.
John BODY's Parents, Stephen BODY and Phillipa CRAGOE, were married, on 6 April 1702, also at DULOE Parish Church. I have traced many of their BODY DESCENDANTS in CORNWALL, OTHER COUNTIES IN ENGLAND AND OVERSEAS.
