John and Martha Bassett living in a tenement called Rosedown - St Hilary
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. I know that their first born, John, arrived In 1814, however I have not yet been able to locate where he was christened however I do know that he died in 1815 at the age of one and was buried in St Hillary. It would appear soon after that a second son was born in 1816, William, he is christened in St Hilary at the time the family were living in a tenement called Rosedown. He was their only child to christened in the St Hilary parish church William was christened in 1816. in a private ceremony. The next time we find the family they have moved out of the area to Breage (by 1820), perhaps to seek work in the mines there. I am thinking that the family were in St Hilary between 1815 and 1820. If any one has any information or any theories as to why they moved when they did to various places eg mines closing down, new mines opening up or any information on the family and/or why they were in St Hilary would be great. I would also be interested in information about the tenement called Rosedown. Sandra
