Managed to trace back to the 1841 census for WM Cornbill born 1806 who was 35 in this census registration and married to Margarett who was born in the same year. Is there any way I would be able to go farther back as the 1841 census is the earliest one available to view...

You don't acknowledge any of the info posted.
As you have obviously done this research can you at least say if its the correct family.

If we knew who William Cornhill was and how he fitted into this family it would help.
Have you looked on familysearch for pre 1841?


Also bear in mind that ages were rounded down to the nearest 5 in 1841 so aged 35 could have been up to 39

Going back to my grandfather Kenneth the names, places and dates all add up as he was the only Kenneth born in the 1920's and his father was named as Menotta so there's a 90% chance it is correct....is familysearch free to view?

plus 2 other sons

Kenneth was my grandad, Mennotta is listed as my grandfather's dad on the record I found and he did marry Nellie, just looked on familysearch and the only details available were from the 1941 census.

Son's death in Canada


01 Jan 1982
Death Place: Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
Name: Frederick Victor Emanuel Cornbill
Gender: Male
Age: 82y
Birth Date: 29 Aug 1899
Birthplace: Birmingham, England
Marital Status: Widow
Spouse: Winnifred Rosina Bedworth
Father: Frederick Victor Emanuel Cornbill
Mother: Emily

Just spoken to my mother who said she will look through the local library archives after the Easter break and see what she can find out from the details I have, thanks for all your help and I will post the details of what is found from the public archives.

Find it interesting that Frederick passed away in Canada, will ask a friend who lives there if she can get any more info on it, Thanks for all your information.

I gave the information below to Michelle and advised her to start her own thread, which she has done (she had added information to a very old query from someone else)

'Michelle,
If you want help with your Cornbills, please start a new post.
I am assuming Kenneth's father was Men(n)otta, and grandfather Frederick Victory.
With names like that you have got to research them.

The advice would be to check that I have arrived at the correct family in 1841 by obtaining all the intermediate birth and marriage certificates.

Will be visiting the library after Easter to see if looking through their archives can be of assistance, hopefully getting my mom's marriage certificate may be of help as well.
