Hi Bob
thanks for the info I will keep it on file. There was a well known firm of
horse drawn carriage builders called Champion, in Cornwall, will have to
find out more about them.

I'm also researching CHAMPION in Cornwall and found the following. Is this
any help to you. I note it's from the same town of Breage. I don't know if
my Champions are from there or not.

I checked this site --

and found a marriage record for a Wm. Champion, 21, born Breage, Cornwall,
married at Houghton, Michigan Feb. 9, 1861 Margaret Christopher, 26 of
Houghton.
