Elizabeth TEMBY EVA, 1826-1904, Treslothan, Camborne, Cornwall

Elizabeth TEMBY EVA, 1826-1904, Treslothan, Camborne, Cornwall

Surnames: TEMBY, EVA
Seeking information on any relatives of my GGGM Elizabeth TEMBY (1826-1904), who married Thomas EVA in Q1 1844, probably in Camborne, Cornwall.

Family lore says she was born on 23 June 1826, probably in Camborne. 1841 census has a person of the right name and age living with parents William and Charity TEMBY in Stennack, Treslothan, Camborne, The fact that the Elizabeth I seek named one of her daughters Charity (my GGM), and that this daughter's birthplace is also Stennack (per copy of birth registraton from GRO), strongly suggests that this is the right Elizabeth. Later the EVA family lived in Troon and several of the children migrated to western Montana in the 1870s.

My YEATS family lived in Stennack, Camborne at one time before emigrating to Pennsylvania in the late 1860's and I believe a 6greatgrandmother of mine is a Mary TEMBY who married a Christopher PASCOE in Camborne in 1773.

There is a great online parish clerk (OPC) site for the parish maintained by Sally. It includes an index for the year you're interested in and in fact lists the marriage of Elizabeth TEMBY and Thomas EVA as taking place 28 Jan 1844 at the church in Camborne.

Sally will provide additional details by email that aren't included in the index and hopefully she will be able to tell you the name of Elizabeth's father from the marriage record.

I have a microfilm of Treslothan Church records on order from the LDS library in Salt Lake City. This church opened in 1845 and apparently Stennack as you mentioned ended up in Treslothan parish. I plan to write down TEMBYs from these records and perhaps there will be a burial that might interest you. So please let me know if you find out the name of Elizabeth TEMBY's father.

I will also try to remember to look for baptisms of children of Thomas and Elizabeth EVA when I get that microfilm.

Best wishes from a maybe very distant cousin,
Karen in Pennsylvania

GREAT to have a response!

Stennack is so tiny that common surnames mean we must be connected.

I will follow up on the OPC site you list.

I have several documents you might be interested in:
- image of the 1841 census showing Elizabeth in the household of William (copper miner in Stennack) and Charity TEMBY, along with Grace TEMBY, age 70, probably William's mother.
- hard copies of the marriage record for Elizabeth TEMBY and Thomas EVA on 29 Jan 1844, and birth record of their daughter Jane EVA (b 4 Feb 1844 - draw your own conclusions).
- image of the 1851 census of the William TEMBY household (now farmer in Troon) that now includes his mother-in-law, Mary DENNIS
- image of 1861 census with Charity as a widow, farmer in Troon.
- image of 1861 census for Thomas (copper miner in Troon) and Elizabeth EVA and seven children, including Charity (b abt 1855), my great-grandmother, and her sister Mary who married brothers and migrated to Montana in the late 1870s.

Email me directly at genealogyjoe@gmail.com and I will send you copies of what I have.
