Hi, Edwin,
You inquired how we obtained our Coad family information.
We spent a month in Cornwall -- February 2003 -- and worked at the Cornwall
Record Office, as well as the Cornish Family History Society Library, the
Courtney Library at the Cornish History Research Centre (all these in
Truro), and the Cornish Studies Centre Library in Redruth. So we generally
got parish records on microfiche from the Cornwall Record Office.
Occasionally we consulted the original register, when the microfilm was
illegible. We left a CD-ROM with our entire Cornish ancestry -- as far as we
were able to go in a month -- at the Family History Society.
We obtained some suggestions regarding the Coad line -- in particular the
ancestry of the Anthony Coad who married Margaret Real -- from a member of
the Cornish Family History Society. We ran out of time to spend in Cornwall
and were not able to verify those suggestions at the Record Office. However
we were able to show the line from parish registers back to this Anthony
Coad. This member believed that the Anthony Coad of St. Ewe parish who
married Margaret Real of St. Ewe Parish in 1749, in St. Ewe parish, is the
same as an Anthony Coad who was baptized in St. Austell parish in 1727 (we
don't have the date), son of Samuel Coad and his wife Joan (maiden name
unknown). We did not have time to verify this information, as we were
chasing down a number of other ancestral lines at the same time.
Finally, our purpose in posting these inquiries to the COAD-List was in hope
that someone would have done a study of the early Coads in Cornwall, perhaps
eighteenth century and earlier, which would clarify these relationships. We
think a rather thorough study of wills and administrations would be
essential to linking the Coad families of different parishes. Many of these
families were engaged in mining, and moved about fairly frequently.
Unfortunately, they generally did not own real estate, so there are few
property records. A lot of our inferences are based on a person having the
right name, being born about the right time, although in a different
neighboring parish.
And you're right, many of the Cornwall Records have been filmed by the LDS
church; we've seen some of them in Salt Lake City. When next we get back
there we'll have the opportunity to continue our research. Or we may choose
to wait until we return to England. In any case, we're hoping to meet some
common descendants of this Coad line through the internet.
Sincerely,
Bob and Elsa Pendleton
Dear Listers
Don't remember whether or not we've mentioned this site before on the list.
If you have any family who served with the Australian Forces in WW2 then you
can get some details of their period of service at
http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/script/name.asp#searchtabs
There are quite a few COADs.
You can print off a nice certificate of service as well.

It might be nice to know (1) where the photo was found/purchased and perhaps
(2) an approximate time frame the current owner thinks it may have been taken

I have recently purchased some pictures and as I was going through them I found one of two young children and on the back are (it is hard to tell from the writing) Vron and Norma Coad. They are both blond, the boy is the oldest as is standing next to the young girl sitting on a crate. If anyone is related to these two darlings I will return the picture to them. It is old as from the clothes they are wearing. also keep in mind it is hard to make out the first names, but the last is diffently Coad
Thanks to everyone who responded to my initial e-mail, I've now been able to locate Henry Coad and discovered two other people who are ggg-grandsons of Samuel Coad & Charlotte Herring.

Notes on our COAD ancestry, by Bob and Elsa Pendleton.
Elsa's great-great grandmother was Peggy Real JOHNS, born 18 Dec 1820 and baptized in St. Ewe Parish, Cornwall. On 14 Sep 1844, Peggy married a miner, William Rowe, in the Creed Parish Church. William and Peggy had nine children, eight of whom lived to raise families of their own. The family emigrated to the United States in 1865-66, and settling in Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, and Arizona. All but one turned from mining to farming.
The parents of Peggy Real Johns were Josiah John Johns, an innkeeper and blacksmith, and Peggy Real Coad, who married 3 Oct 1818 in St. Ewe Parish. Josiah and Peggy had at least nine children, baptized from 1819 to 1840. Peggy was buried 18 Dec 1850 in Creed Parish, and Josiah married Sarah Trebilcock in 1853.
Peggy was baptized 4 November 1798 in St. Ewe Parish, the daughter of William Coad and Mary Paul, who were married 4 October 1796 in Blisland Parish. We believe Mary Paul was baptized 6 May 1764 in Lanteglos by Camelford Parish, the daughter of George Paul and his wife Loveday, We believe William Coad was baptized 13 May 1770 in St. Mewan Parish, the son of Anthony Coad and his wife Margaret.
We believe this Margaret was Margaret Real, who married Anthony Coade of St. Austell in St. Ewe Parish, 6 Aug 1749. Furthermore, we think Margaret Real may have been baptized 6 Apr 1728 in St. Ewe Parish, the daughter of Robert Real and Catherine Hoskyn.
There is a possibility that this Anthony Coade was the son of Samuel Coad and his wife Joan, baptized in St. Austell in 1727. This Samuel Coad, in turn, may have been the son of Anthony Coade of St. Stephens and Catherine Perkin or Parkyn, married in 1673. We have not verified this information from parish records; it was suggested to us by another Coad descendant.
We would be grateful for any additional information to solidify our Coad family tree, especially citations to parish records, wills, etc.
Hi John,
It has been my experience here in the U.S. that middle names and nick names
were used when giving info to the Census taker and on official documents,
such as marriage licenses, etc. However, I am not that familiar with British
tradition.
The IGI most likely will not have the birth records you are seeking.
Starting from June 1837 one must use the GRO (General Record Office) index
for UK births, marriages and deaths. This is the date the church was
relieved from keeping the official BMD records in UK.
There is no place called "Coalstock" to my knowledge in Cornwall, this is
most likely a transcription error. The parish of Calstock was originally in
the Liskeard Registration District (1837 to 1860) so this is where you will
mostly probably find the record for Henry COAD.
If you are unable to get to a local LDS Family History Center there is an
on-line site for Calstock for free look-ups by a volunteer.

Hop this helps.

John Blenk, regarding Henry Coad (William Henry Coad) - in the 1851 Census,
Samuel and Charlotte have a son Henry (age indicated is 2) so it would place
this person as the correct age. Samuel and Charlotte have seven children at
this time (1851) and by the 1861 census John H. (the second child - married to
Ann Rice) is married and has a son William Henry (age 3 weeks). This might
indicate that Henry (age 2 in 1851), may have been William Henry also, either
way this certainly could be your gg grandfather. Philip Wilcox (PhilPoet) also
email you and he and I are cousins. If Henry (age 2 in 1851) is your gg
grandfather, his brother John H. is my gg grandfather. Hope to hear from you.
Hi
New subscriber here. Presuming it's easier to deal with single questions,
I'll send this complicated query in instalments.
My gg-grandfather was Henry Coad, and the 1881 census shows he was born in
1849 in Coalstock (sic), Cornwall. Two problems - Coalstock doesn't seem to
exist (but Calstock does) and I can't find any Henry Coads born anywhere
near that part of the world at that time. What I can find is two William
Henry Coads and a William Coad (I would discount him, but in fact he's the
only one registered in the district which includes Calstock).
So, I'm wondering if my gg-grandfather was christened William Henry (or even
just William) but was actually called Henry throughout his life, to the
extent that he gave that name to the census takers and even the registrar at
his wedding.
As more experienced family historians, does this make sense, or is your
experience that people always that official documents typically contain the
full, correct name?
John Blenkinsopp
If your Coad is the son of Samuel Coad and Charlotte Herring then we are
related as my gg grandmother was Emma - Henry (Harry's) older sister.
Phil Willcock
I saw my name mentioned in the list of new subscribers who haven't posted
their COAD interest.
My interest centres on the COAD family from St Austell, Fowey and
Tywardreath areas in Cornwall, and their connection with the COCK family.
On http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sterth/will_index.htm I have
found reference to the will of one Robert COAD, Forveyin yeoman. Question:
Does Forveyin mean from Fowey...? The will is dated 1794, and refers to
grandson, Robert Coad COCK, son of Christian(na) COAD and William COCK. The
IGI has this Robert Coad COCK baptised 31 Oct 1790 in Tywardreath, and has
Christian COAD baptised 13 Jan 1755 in Fowey, daughter of Robert COAD and
Mary. Does anyone have knowledge or an interest in this family?
In 1824, my GGG Grandfather, Joseph COCK, named his firstborn son Robert
Coode COCK. I am trying to establish who were the parents of Joseph COCK,
and I believe the name COODE or COAD is a clue to this and that Joseph is
linked to the above COAD family - was Joseph perhaps the brother of the
elder Robert Coad COCK?
To add fuel to this theory, the census records for the two Roberts are
interesting, because in the 1851 census, Robert COCK, b.1790 Fowey, is a
farmer of 6 acres, living at Fatwork, St Austell, with his wife Catherine
(MARTYN). In the 1861 census, there is no sign of the elder Robert or
Catherine, but living at Fatwork, St Austell, is Robert COCK b.1824 St
Austell, his wife Elizabeth (Esterbrook) and their 4 children, ie the son of
Joseph COCK, who, it seems may have inherited from the elder Robert Coad
COCK.
This area of St Austell is quite well known to me, as I still have family
living their, and I'm told my G Grandfather William COCK (Joseph's grandson,
Robert's half nephew) built a number of houses their in the early 20th
century. Was this on land that originally came into the family through a
legacy from Robert COAD?
If anyone knows any more about this COAD family from Fowey, I would be very
interested.

Here is a message I received from Frances Winnell of Australia. Can any of
you downunders help her out?
Ed
Hi my name is Frances Winnell and I'm researching my Coad ancestors. The
information I have is very limited in Cornwall. John Coad married Eliza
Blamey Abt 1831 in Cornwall they then went to Canada I don't know what
happened to John there but then Eliza Coad nee Blamey came out to Australia
on the White Star in 1863 with her children some of them were Emily Ann
1842-1908 who married Robert Ellis, Samuel John 1848-1913 (my descendant)
who married twice once Dorothy Watson then Eliza Squires William Henry
1850-1914 married Mary Smith and Joseph Blamey 1872-1938 who married Emily
Ann Cornish, Eliza Coad nee Blamey had a sister Elizabeth born in 1824 I
think and I think their father was William and their mother Catherine. Any
help would be much appreciated. Thank you Frances Winnell
