Don't know if this will get you any descendants but will eliminate some people.


Re 1911 census, a granddaughter Eva C Jones, b June 1899 was with Auagustus and Sarah in Goderich.

Alfred Charles Cornell, living Saskatoon Saskatchewan, b London England, 13 Jan 1872, next of kin: Sarah Cornell, mother of Goderich Ont, occupation: cook, previous military: 33 Huron Regiment [4yrs] and 12th York Rangers [1yr].

Eva May's birth registration
Jones, Eva May [Cornell], b 6 June 1899, Arthur Ed Jones & Alice M Cornell, Huron County.
* In accord with this Declaration attached to this registration the name Eva May Jones is altered to Eva Cornell Jones.

According to 1901 census Arthur and Alice [ who immigrated from England 1873] also have another daughter, Mabel b 15 Aug 1894, Ontario.



Canada-US crossing

Jones, Alice E, 44, Mable 15 and Eva 10 crossed the border at Detroit Michigan February 1910. Final destination, Detroit. Contact in Canada is Augustus Benjamin Cornell of Goderich.
Eva must have been back visiting her grandparents on 1911 census.

Thanks so much for your contributions! Yes, these people are my relatives. I didn't know about Mabel born 1894 - are you certain she was the daughter of Alice Cornell & Arthur Jones and not Mabel Cornell, Alice's niece, daughter of Horace Sheldon Cornell & Mabel Ann Meters?
If you have any interest in these people, please do get back to me as I have managed to find out quite a lot more about them. Sadly, there was a post from about ten years ago which seemed to connect with the family of Horace Sheldon Cornell : I tried to contact the lady (in Ireland) but either her Membership or email address has lapsed.

All good wishes, Janice in Suffolk, England.

Thank you so much for replying to my message. Those you list are my relatives: I have a fair bit of information about them if it would be of any use to your research.

The name "Austin" as middle name of Benjamin Cornell (b. 1886) was the family name of his paternal grandparents from Little Shelford in Cambridgeshire England. Through the Austins our ancestry can be traced back to the Plantagenet Kings of England - Edward 1 had 19 children in all back in the 13th Century and so there must be a multitude of descendants. I had to laugh when I was informed of the connection: the Plantagents had famous, flaming red hair, as did my father! There is a family in a neighbouring village here , name of "Plant" supposedly short for Plantagenet - they all have red hair - the gene must be strong!

All good wishes,
Janice, in rural Suffolk, England

Delighted to hear from you Holly! I have recently made contact with descendents of Horace Sheldon Cornell, one of the elder brothers of your Great Grandfather Percy Cornell: they were both first cousins of my father Sidney (1890-1956).

You are welcome to contact me on my home email janicecroucher@metronet.co.uk and I will invite you to my Cornell Family Tree.
Looking forward to more contact Best wishes Janice (1949) in rural Suffolk England
