Message Board Post:
My family and I are planning a trip to Cornwall in March 2011 to retrace the former haunts of our Cock/Prideaux ancestors.
I am wondering if there is anyway to find the property on which they used to live? Also, in some cases, which mines they worked in.
I'm particularly interested in discovering where Charles Cock (b. Nov 1815, Gwinear; d. bef 1870 Wisconsin, USA) lived (near Lanyon) and worked (which copper mine) before coming to the United States. He was married (m. 26 Nov 1836, Gwinear) to Alice Elizabeth Michell (b. May 1814 Gwinear, d. 1849 Wisconsin). I'd also like to find the church where they were married.
I'd also like to see the gravestones of Charles Cock's parents, but I don't know where to find them. His parents were:
Charles Cock (b. 1789 Cornwall, d. Cornwall)
Hannah Hale (b. 1788 Gwinear, d. Cornwall)
I'd also love to find birth places and burial sites for the families of Stephen Prideaux (b. 10 Nov 1810 Cornwall, d. Wisconsin) son of Stephen Prideaux (1784-1860) and Mary Carthew (1788-1834) and his wife Elizabeth Trevithick (b. 27 Nov 1808 Illogan, d. 1884 Wisconsin), daughter of Thomas Trevithick of Illogan & Cambourne (1785-1846) and Jane Chywidden (b. 1790).
We'd also be interested in meeting up with any distant cousins currently living in England! I'll be traveling with my father (the ggg grandson of Charles Cock b. 1815), my young son (the ggggg grandson of Charles Cock b. 1815), plus my mom and husband.
If you have any information. Or are interested in meeting up, please let me know. You can respond directly to this thread of email me at nicolette.cagle (at) gmail.com.
Thank you for your time.
