Cornish to the Core
was the husband of Ann Trevithick.
I want to keep this seperate from the Trevithick branch but will someone put a link to the Dennis and Fine posts please.
I don't remember where I got the birth and death information from:rolleyes::oops: but if possible I would like to go futher back with him.
At the moment I can't find where he fits in on Cornwall opc with the birth date I have,

Henry married Ann Trevithick in 1746.
His wife was born 1723.
There are two possible baptisms for him, both in 1720.
The first at Truro. The other at St Anthony in Meneage
to a Henry and Mary. Henry and Mary married there in 1718,
but the brides surname is not recorded, neither are the brides'
surnames recorded for any marriage ten years either side
of that date! I did not record the full date of the Marriage
nor their children thereafter baptised at St Anthony, but
noticed one was named Benjamin. At some time prior to
1740 they moved to Sithney and had more children there.
 
That might be St Anthony in Roseland, the site is giving
me alternative information.
 
Looking at what I have entered on the tree I think that I have made a mistake.
I have Henry born 1732 and death 1764 but added a child named Benjamin born 1747.
So I am incorrect somewhere along the line.
That will blow the Henry Dennis and Ann Trevithick wth son Benjamin married to Elizabeth Fine out of my tree.
 
Ann Dennis married David Banfield 1 April 1805 and witnesses were Benjamin Dennis and Richard Hawes.
David was of the parish Lelant and Ann's residence was St Ives.
Ann was baptised in Camborne 1778 parents were Benjamin and Elizabeth.

The couple with the child named Benjamin is a good bet with Benjamin appearing at least 3 times in the tree.

Panic is over because I realised that I had added baptism dates back to front.:oops:
 
At first sight it seems rather remote and isolated, and indeed
unlikely, if not for the Benjamin and having their last child at
Sithney (who was perhaps several years old at baptism) in 1740.
But I suppose there must have been regular communication by
small boats along the coast.
You need to be aware that the 1764 burial of Henry Dennis at
Sithney is for Henry junior. When I first saw that entry I was thinking
it was for Henry son of Henry & Ann (bap 1750 Sithney) being then
unaware that he was the third Henry in a row. So Henry junior d. 1764
who's wife was Ann predeceased his father, also Henry and who's
wife was Mary of St Anthony and then Sithney who was buried
1776 Sep 8 Sithney with a reputed age of 90!
 
I had the 1764 burial for Henry the husband of Ann because I had not gone back further with the Dennis famlly until this week.
