Hi Stan
I notice that Selina was born in Guernsey, I dont suppose you know where
James was born do you?
I have long suspected a link between the two lines due to a family bible
that I have seen a photocopy from, that has entries from one line on one
page, and entreies from the other line on another page.
The note I have for Edward and Avis says that Edward was born in 1730,
location unknown. There is no birth or baptism details for Avis.
However I just found the baptism of one AVES WOLCOCK in Truro on May 1st
1726.
Therefore my next search will be through the baptism registers of Truro and
surrounds looking for Edward.
The other thing I need to look at is the burial records for Plymstock for
13th September 1784 for Edwards burial and 14th October 1798 for Avis'
burial. If it shows Avis as being 72 then that adds weight to the theory of
her being Avis Woolcock or Aves Wolcock.
I have the honor to be
With the highest respect

Subject: Woolcock connection
Hi Steve and other cousins,
It's a rather distant possible connection, but James Woolcock Whicker (b.
1809) and his brother Amos Woolcock Whicker (b. 1816) are in my tree. James'
daughter Selina married Richard John Coath in Adelaide in 1857.
The Woolcock names seems to come from their uncle James Woolcock, who
married their aunt Elizabeth Whicker in 1802.

The family tree he provided had Edward Coath born 1730 and Avis Tonkin.
I checked through the parish registers for Plymstock and found all the
children born to Edward Coath and Avis, no maiden name. I have never
been
able to find any marriage in Plymstock for a Coath prior to 1787, which
was
Edwards eldest son.
Unable to progress further I started questioning the TONKIN researchers
and
again drew a blank.
What I now need to do is check with the WOOLCOCK researchers.
With regards to the link between the two lines, have a look through the
John
Coathe family tree on the website and see haow many male Coaths are not
traced. There are a great many who I just have a baptism date for such
as
Francis Coath baptised in Lanreath on 8th November 1696.
Could he have been Edwards father, or did he die young?

Hi Steve and all other Coaths out there,
I do hope that this is the answer.
Maybe from here the link between the two Coath lineages can be derived.
I'm
sure there must be one!
Well done you!
After thirty years of research this must be something of a coup.

Hello all
Anyone who is descended from the line of Edward Coath, or who has looked at
the family tree of that line will see that he is recorded as marrying Avis
Tonkin, probably around 1754, location not known but not Plymstock.
This is from information supplied by my predessessor who informed me that
"Neither myself nor any other researcher has ever been able to discover who
Edward's or Avis'parents were. I believe that people have been searching for
this for a great many years.
I may have found the answer!
On the 10th of February 1755 a marriage occured at St Andrews in Plymouth
between one Edward Coath.......and an Avis WOOLCOCK.
Could it be that for the last 30 or so years myself and several other people
have been looking for a person who never existed.
1754 is I believe the earliest year that the Plymouth marriage registers
exist from.
I have the honor to be
With the highest respect
