Philip Eva from Helston, Cornwall, England

Philip Eva from Helston, Cornwall, England

Posted: 25 Jun 2001 7:36PM GMT
I am looking for family connections to Philip and Frances Eva from Helston, Cornwall, England. There are many Eva’s from that area, but I have yet to connect any of them.
I am also searching for descendants of their son Philip Eva (only child) and Jane Mathews. Philip was born on October 8, 1821 in Hellston, Cornwall, England. Jane was born in 1824 (likely Cornwall) and they married aboard the ship enroute to Canada, circa 1843. Philip and Jane emigrated with his mother Frances and Jane’s sister Sarah. They settled in Grey County, Ontario. Philip and Jane had eight children: James Lambrick (b. 1843); Sarah Jane (b. 1846); Marey Ann (b. 1850); Martha (b. 1852); Elizabeth Francis (b. 1855); Philip (b. 1857); Albert Edward (b. 1859); and Eliza (b. 1861). I would appreciate any information in connection to this family.

Hi Susan,
I'm not sure if I have contacted you before, though even if I did I think I now have a fair bit more information for you about Phillip and his family from Helston, going back to John EVA and Elizabeth CHEGWIDEN in the early 1700's.
Contact me direct for more details, which I can then let you have either as gedcom or text file,
Dave

It's been a long since your post but if you are still active, I would appreciate contact. I too am researching Philip and Frances (Fanny) Eva from Helston, Cornwall. Philip died c1821 and Fanny remarried Stephen Cocking and had two more children. Her son Philip Eva Jr. married Jane Mathews and were enumerated with children on Channel Islands in 1851 before coming to Canada in 1854 where they are enumerated in Grey County Ontario 1861, more children born Canada. Fanny, her second husband and their daughter also came to Canada and settled Grey County. Dianne

I have a link to Harriet Eva, born about 1837/1838 in Helston and I believe her parents were Joshua and Loveday Eva. Would be interested in any further details.
