Thankyou for your help,
Glenn.

Hi Glenn.
Just a small point - the marriage took place in 1876, you can find it on Freebmd.
John's birth is 1857, middle name recorded as Colwell.
Jan

Can you give names and dates of birth of known children from the Marriage? Thanks

A tree on Ancestry gives his parents as
John Colwell Jenkins Snr Birth 1828 in Devon, England and Ann

They give John Colwell Jenkin's jr as

Birth 1857 30 Aug St Neot, Cornwall, England
Marriage to Elizabeth Jane Rockett
1876 30 Apr Age: 18 Devon, England

Its been copied from other trees.

The birth probably orginated from this
