Cox family, Falmouth
- Falmouth
My Gt.gt.grandfather James Blatch Cox brought his young family to Falmouth in 1843 from Somerset, he was an ironmonger and had been a baptist minister, how did he aspire to Mayor after only 4 years there? I believe he was connected to the building of the waterworks.
His sons and grandsons went on to be pillars of society, the postmaster and managers of the shipyard and another mayor, yet none remain there now, I have researched them to some extent, but the question remains, what brought James there in the first place?
My grandfather left there in 1918, only returning in later life for holidays and did not keep in touch with 'family', so it remains for me to piece together the family from those times.
Any help would be appreciated

Edgcombe's of Falmouth
- Falmouth
The 1841 census gives Henry Edgcombe, b 1791, stonemason, his wife, Catherine bc. 1791 and their 6 children. Henry died in 1856. The 1861 census sees Catherine,68, living with her son, Joseph 25, who was a waterman and her nephew John Brewer 5. In the 1871 census, Joseph 35 was living with his twin sister, Mary, his younger sister, Matilda 30, and his children, John Edgcome 14 and Bessy Edgcome 4. Joseph and his two sisters, however, are all listed as unmarried.
John Brewer of the 1861 census cannot possibly be Catherine's nephew and, is more likely to be the unmarried Joseph's son (of the 1871 census.)This seems to indicate that the boy's mother was ? Brewer.
Joseph died in Jul/Aug/Sep 1871 and I can find no mention of John after the census of that year, in which his occupation is listed as "Mason's app."
Bessy was a "chip off the old block" and, at the time of the 1891 census was Head of the household, Single, 23, a laundress living with her young son, Herbert C. Edgcombe and a single, 26 year old seaman from Leeds as a boarder.
If anyone can widen my knowledge of this family - particularly Henry and Catherine. Many thanks

Body Family From Fowey, In Central Cornwall
- Fowey
My own BODY Family originates from QUETHIOCK, in EASTERN CORNWALL. My Gx5 Grandparents, JOHN BODY and Thomasine TOLL, married, in July 1731, at St. Hughs Parish Church, Quethiock.
In the course of my research, I have traced several other Body Families, in OTHER PARTS OF CORNWALL AND DEVON. I have traced a BODY Family in FOWEY, IN CENTRAL CORNWALL.
They are the DESCENDANTS of JOSEPH BODY and Elizabeth TOM, who married, on 30 March 1817, at FOWEY Parish Church. I know of ten of their Children, from JAMES BODY, on 8 January 1817, to WILLIAM BODY, on 24 August 1834, who were all Baptised also at FOWEY Parish Church.
Two of the Children of Joseph and Elizabeth BODY were also married in FOWEY.
Ann BODY married Edward VINCENT, on 24 December 1843, in FOWEY Parish Church.
Robert BODY married Elizabeth Hicks NICKELS, on 23 August 1854, in LANTEGLOS BY FOWEY, Parish Church.
Another Son, Joseph BODY married Elizabeth COOKE, on 23 May 1847, in TYWARDREATH Parish Church, CORNWALL.
I know of some of the DESCENDANTS of JOSEPH BODY and Elizabeth TOM. Some of them now live in several OTHER COUNTIES OF ENGLAND and WALES.
I am particularly interested in their other BODY DESCENDANTS, especially any of those in DEVONPORT, PLYMOUTH or STOKE DAMEREL, i...
