The tregenza family

• 
  JAMES 1848 in part A of this family and JAMES 1847 of Unconnected Family 58 are probably the same person. Both are born around the same time giving birthplace as the same area (Landrake and Bodmin). JAMES in this family is illegitimate but the father of JAMES UCF58 is JOSEPH ! JAMES in UCF58 also has daughter called LUCY-ANN and grandmother ANN which are respectively the name of the mother and grandmother of the JAMES in this family. Note also that JOSEPH the father of JAMES of Unconnected Family 58 who died between his birth and marriage and the only JOSEPH record in FreeBMD with a death of these dates is JOSEPH-SIBLY of this family
  
• 
  Pedigree Resource File http://familysearch.org.plal:/MM9.2.1/SR94-JKZ contributed 12MAY2011 by MM3N-HX2 gives birth date of JOHN as 1758 and his wife REBEKAH Couch as 1752 (the head of this family) and his parents as JOHN 1733 and ANN Tretheway [sic] both born 1733 - this would like this family into

• 
  from work by members of Unconnected Family 4 received via Tina Elderfield to extend their family down to members of part B
