Hi~ I am doing genealogy on the family of William Wallis (married to Maria Willoughby May 29~ 1819) who had 3 sons: William Willoughby Wallis~ James Willoughby Wallis & Jonathan Wallis. William also had 3 brothers & a sister: John Wallis~ Thomas~ George & Elizabeth. I have found the kin of John but not anything of the others. John & William both immigrated to USA/ Wisconsin in 1835 & after 1841. I have one note that Elizabeth married a man named Mr. Pope. Also I have NO info on the father/mother of these men. I have a note that the Father of these men was named John~ but I don't know if that is true. I have seen the 1841 census## William & Maria+ 3 boys were in Tolvaddon at that time. If anyone has information on this family I would love to hear from you. Thank you very much~ Debra (Wallis) Beck

I am researching a house in Tregullow~ Scorrier~ known as 'Zimapan'~ otherwise known as 'Zimapan House' or 'Zimapan Villa'. **My great gandfather~ Walter Parsons Thomas lived there from 1921-1930 with his wife Angelina. He would have prayed and preached in St Day's Weslyan Chapel. He came from Holyhead~ Wales.**I have some old photographs of the house and gardens that date back to 1928. Then garden had a circular lawn and path~ was decorated with palm plants~ a central bay-window and was well-cared for. Now the place looks abandoned and forlorn and in need of some TLC.**Is there anyone left who can remember this couple~ or who knows anything about this house~ such as who else lived there over the years? [no detail too trivial] If so~ please get in touch with me urgently. ****NB: This research is unpaid.**

Matthew Blewett

Trevarth, Cornwall (2.7 miles away)

7 years ago.

 

In the course of investigating my family history~ I discovered the marriage of **Francis Blewett to Elizabeth Colan around 1540. One manor conveyed to Francis **by Elizabeth was that of "Trevarth in Gwennap parish". ****While I have not seen them~ due to time constraints~ I have found that estate **maps survive of Trevarth manor~ and can be seen in the Bluett papers in Exeter **record office.****As a Blewett~ the coincidence should not be striking## I was raised in Trevarth~ **but since Francis Blewett had 13 sons and 9 daughters~ and since then the **Blewetts have multiplied in every parish in Cornwall so Blewetts had to return **to Trevarth~ albeit in the more humble miner's cottages.
