Just looking for Bathsheba Evas grave. Where is she buried.

Thank you,
Nadia Freeman

Nadia -

You have added to a very old thread (2007).
John won't be looking for replies here after so long.

You can try sending him a private message - just click on his name in green at the top of his opening post, and use the resulting form.

If he hasn't changed his email address in the meantime, he will be able to receive the notification which GR will send him, and then if you're lucky he may reply.

Good luck!

Thank you so much. This is brilliant. We have found her. She is indeed at Truro Public Cemetery.

YIPPPEEEEE.

Thank you, thank you.

I have one more I can't find. John Mitchell Born 4th Oct, 1840. Farmer
He was at Penstraze Farm Garrows Kenwyn growing up.

But he could have gone abroad??? Who knows

His parents were John Henry Mitchell b.1818 and Christiana Hore b.1817. They are buried in Mithian, Cornwall. I have all their details.

Thanks all.

When do you last have sight of him and where - did he marry do you know? It always helps for you to post as much info as possible, especially to place him.

Last sighted when? And where?

Any record of a marriage?

You describe him as a farmer - presumably, therefore, you have info about him as an adult

When did the parents die? Did the son register either of their deaths?

Looks to be the same family in 1861, no John

Mundic is an old Cornish word for the common sulphide mineral pyrite.

Sometimes shown as Michell. John, age 10, is with the family in 1840. There are a lot of trees on Ancestry with this family.

Edit: meant to say 1851.

Huckster - a hawker or paddler

There are quite a number of emigration records for men named John Michell or Mitchell.

It's not impossible that one of them might be your John - but several give not enough detail to prove one way or the other.

Nudge

Nadia has posted her request again on the Genealogy chat board. I have asked her to return to this thread.

Nadia originally posted @ 1806 on 6 Jan 2023, earlier in this thread - She has posted on the other thread that she has nothing from his 20's onwards.

Post from other thread including the extra information -

I am looking for John Mitchell Born 4th Oct, 1840. Farmer. He was at Penstraze Farm Garrows Kenwyn Cornwall growing up.

I have nothing from his 20's onwards. Nothing. No details on marriage or not, or death, residence later etc etc.

He could have gone abroad to the States, just not sure??? Who knows

His parents were John Henry Mitchell b.1818 and Christiana Hore b.1817. They are buried in Mithian, Cornwall. I have all their details.

Can anyone help.

--------------------
Nadia - where have you found him in his 20's please as at the moment the last sighting posted here is a 10 year old scholar in 1851.

PM sent to Nadia requesting further info Opened.............................

Hi All

So sorry I have only his details when he is Scholar at 10yrs old in 1851. Somewhere between 1851-1861, can't find him or even later nothing.

John Mitchell 4th October, 1840. Born Kenwyn, Cornwall. Farm called Penstraze.

Lived with Farming family. Parents John Mitchell and Christiana Hore.

They had other children, William Henry, Jane, Thomas. Elizabeth Ann & Joseph C went later to The States. I have all their details but not John.

Can anyone help?.

Thank you
