I am looking for information on the Jennings~ Alder and James family's from Penzance~ Cornwall ~ England. They came from the towns of Madron and Newlyn. My paternal grandparents~ John & Fanny Alder-Jennings originally came from Madron and immigrated to the USA to live in the Bronx ~ New York City in 1906. My Great Grandmother Elizabeth Alder also came to USA in 1913 when my great grandfather Samuel Alder passed away. She returned to England in 1919 to live with James Family in Newlyn. I am trying to gather information on family history and locate anyone who would know where my great granparents are buried .

I am researching the family of Alfred Nicholas~ born abt. 1841~in St. Just~ Cornwall~ England. I have traced the family here and the road ends in about 1840. Does the local church keep family records~ if so can anyone provide me with contact information.**Respectfully~**Jim Hunt

My gt gt grandfather~ William~ lived in Madron~ and died either in or before 1851. I don't know when he was born~ and I can't find the family in the 1841 census. I wonder if there is a (legible!) gravestone in the churchyard which might give some information.

I lived in Boscaswell for 2yrs.I found it difficult as I am an outsider.I came back to London.I can still see the sea which appears to go up hill~the sweet~ sweet air~ the bright mist~ the hum of the 17A bus and the yowl of the lighthouse.

Hi~ my husband's ancestors came from Grumbla where they were tin miners. James & wfie Fanny (nee Waters) were listed in the 1851 census. They had 9 children and their 2nd child~ John Waters Hosking married Jane Ellis in 1849. They had 2 children before leaving for Australia where they had another 10! Would be very grateful for any information regarding the rest of the family still in England or for any history of the area. Thanks~ Jean.
