Gwen, I have just come across your posting from last year. I wonder if you have yet found out any more about the family you were investigating.
My g-grandmother was a Mary Chynoweth born in St Agnes according to the 1881 census and whose father, from her wedding certificate, was William and a miner. According to the 1841 census for St Agnes, your Chynoweth family included Mary, two years younger than John.As I could not find any of that familybaptized in the parish church of St Agnes, I assumed that was the wrong Mary and that your family may have come from elsewhere after Mary was born. That simplified things for me because there was another Mary in the 1841 census, the same age and with a father William who was a miner. However, I just came across your John (I think) in the 1881 census, whose widowed mother was living with him, and he shows his birthpalce as Blackwater (which I think is in the parish of St Agnes). If the family were there when he was born and still in 1841, Mary was presumably born there too but could just as easily have put St Agnes instead of Blackwood as her birthplace on the 1881 census.I must assume the children of this family never got baptized, went to a non-conformist church or did it in a neighbouring parish.
I doubt I will ever find out which Mary was my ancestor because she married in Plymouth and later moved to London and did not appear to name her children after her parents or siblings. I know of nothing to tie her back to any Cornish relatives.
However, I would like to know any information you have on your Chynoweths. Perhaps we can find who your John's sister married.Where were they at the 1851 census (not in St Agnes that I could find)?
Also I did not know the mother's maiden name was Carveth.When and where did they marry?
Hope to hear from you,
Barry Lambert
