Re: Sampson CHYNOWETH m. Elizabeth NICHOLS
1. William CHYNOWETH was born 1824. He was the son of 3. Elizabeth NICHOLES.
3. Elizabeth NICHOLES was born ABT. 1795. Children of Elizabeth NICHOLES are: i. Sampson CHYNOWETH was born 1818 in Kerley In, Kea, Cornwall, England. He married Jane TONKIN 1843 in Kerley in Kea, Cornwall, England, daughter of Thomas TONKIN and Alice CHYNOWETH. She was born 1818. ii. James CHYNOWETH was born 1835. iii. John CHYNOWETH was born 1822. He married Mary OLIVER 14 OCT 1845 in Truro, Cornwall, England. 1. iv. William CHYNOWETH was born 1824. Hello There, I was wondering if the above William could be my my g.great grand father? I have been searching for the Chynoweth family. His name is William and from his death certificate father was Sampson and mother Elizabeth Nicholes and born in Cornwall England. His birth year 1829 died 1893 in Lyttelton, Canterbury, New Zealand. He married Harriet Ann Gross in England. Harriet was born 1835 in Cornwall England, she died 2 June 1912, 32 Hankey Street, Wellington, New Zealand. They had 6 children and my grandmother Minnie was one of them. Can you throw any light on them, I have several photos of the family. Hope you can help, Regards, Judy McIver (nee Scott)

Re: Sampson CHYNOWETH m. Elizabeth NICHOLS
Dear Judy, With your William's death certificate information, it seems that you have connected him to this family. Are you familiar with the Cornish Online Census Project at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kayhin/cocp.html This Sampson and Elizabeth CHYNOWETH family is found living in Creegbrawse, Kenwyn in the 1841 census. The name was transcribed and/or spelled as CHENOWATH but clearly all the boys are listed and there are some daughters as well. William was listed as age 10 which fits rather well with what you know about your William. I didn't find any CHYNOWETHs in Kerley, Kea in 1841 but perhaps they lived there previously and/or later. It's not a great distance. Of note, there is also a 7 year old Harriet GROSE listed on the same page living in Wheal Busy. Hopefully, you'll be able to find out if she's the one you're interested in or not. It seems that William's and Harriet's marriage certificate might be a useful record to obtain but I did not currently find it listed at FreeBMD. I'll have to go over my notebooks and see if I have anything from church records on this family. Good luck, Karen in Pennsyvlania, USA

Dear Judy,
Perhaps you'll be able to help me with your detailed knowledge of early CHYNOWETHs in the area.
Mary CHYNOWETH married Martin GEORGE in Kenwyn in 1784. She was described as of the parish. No CHYNOWETHs were witnesses to her marriage. She named one of her sons, Bennett. As this is a rather uncommon name, I wondered if that were perhaps her father's name as I know there were Bennett CHYNOWETHs and I don't know of earlier Bennett GEORGEs.
Do you happen to have this Mary on your tree?
Best wishes, Karen in Pennsylvania

Children of Sampson and Mary christened in Gwennap
Dear Judy,
You have motivated me to look more at the CHYNOWETH line which I haven't done for a long time.
There are a number of children of Sampson and Mary CHYNOWETH christened in Gwennap which I've included below. As Sampson CHYNOWETH and Mary THOMAS were married there in 1789, I think it quite possible that these are their children. But maybe there is more than one Sampson and Mary couple in the vicinity at the same time.
1790-Nancy April 18 (named spelled CHENOWETH) 1791-James May 18 1796-Philip May 12 1798-William April 1 (named spelled CHENOWAK) 1800-John April 20 1803-Samuel September 14 1808-Grace February 26 1811-Samuel November 24
Enjoy, Karen

Children of Sampson and Elizabeth christened in Gwennap
Dear Judy,
Hope these are the children of Sampson CHYNOWETH and Elizabeth NICHOLS. The christenings occurred in Gwennap.
1818-Jan 11-Mary Ann, Sampson and Elizabeth, Chenowath, Chacewater, Kenwyn, miner, J J Keigwin curate
1820-Dec 25-James, Sampson and Elizabeth, Chynoweth, parish of Kenwyn, miner, Sampson Harris
1822-Oct 6-Sampson, Sampson and Elizabeth, Chenoweth, Kenwyn, miner, William Martin, vicar
I don't think I have information for christenings past 1823 for this parish but I'll look through some more notebooks. Since the residence is given as Chacewater, Kenwyn or parish of Kenwyn I think this is undoubtedly the family that I was talking about living in Creegbrawse, Kenwyn in 1841. (and hopefully it is the one you're interested in)
Good luck, Karen

Re: Children of Sampson and Elizabeth christened in Gwennap
Dear Karen, In answer to your question of a Mary Chynoweth No. There Marys but a much later dates. The name Bennett that is of John and Alice chinoweth son spelt Bennet Chenouah born 1631 and christened 1631 Place Perranzanzabuloe, Cornwall. Thanks for the christening dates for Mary Ann, James and Sampson, all I need now is a date for William. I note that Sampson and John were christened in the same year 1822 just 5 months apart. Every bit of information helps. Regards, Judy, Kaiapoi, North Canterbury, New Zealand.

Re: Sampson CHYNOWETH m. Elizabeth NICHOLS
Hi Judy,
I just spotted your message and it seems we share most of the Sampsons and Bennet Chynoweths!
My line comes from Sampson (1743) who married Ann Nicholas, son of Bennet (1718) m Jane Trevethan, son of Sampson (1690) m Jane Oates son of Bennet
But this is where we differ! The extensive study of Chynoweths by a Dr Alan Chynoweth about 20 years ago has the line going back to a Ricus Chynoweth in Cubert.
I'd love to be able to compare notes, as this is one of the most confusing lines I have come across with all those Sampsons!!! I know we differ again over which Sampson Mary Thomas married!!
Regards,
Julia
