MARRIAGE: Information supplied by William J. Curnow Jr.

NOTE: Information from William J. Curnow Jr.; Raoul Middelmann believes that William Curnow married Jane Daniells on 12-JUN-1736, and the marriage record is shown in the IGI. It seems possible that his first wife died at, or soon after, the birth of William in 1734.

M iv James CURNOW was christened on 7 Apr 1703. He died in Aug 1752.

M v

John CURNOW was born in 1701 in Towednack, Cornwall, England. He was christened on 4 May 1701 in Towednack, Cornwall, England. He died in Nov 1705. He was buried on 6 Nov 1705.

CHRISTENING: Information from William J. Curnow Jr.; IGI Batch #: C022791, Source Call #: 254222

NOTE: Information from William J. Curnow Jr.; John Curnow Tanner brought it to my attention that the IGI says this John died as an infant. This point is full confirmation that this John could not have grown up to marry Sarah Weymouth; hence, Sarah's husband ("Merchant Curnow") was in fact born in Ludgvan. When I came to that conclusion on my own, I reversed the parents to which John Curnow and John Curnow were assigned, so there is potential for confusion on the part of those who hold copies of our 1990 book. Year of death may have been 1704.

F vi

Zenobia CURNOW was born in 1703 in Towednack, Cornwall, England. She died in Aug 1775 in Towednack, Cornwall, England. She was buried on 17 Aug 1775 in Towednack, Cornwall, England.

NOTE: Information from William J. Curnow Jr.; Zenobia must have remained single. She would have been born around the turn of the century and, therefore, in her 70's or 80's when she died.

William BARAGWANATH [Parents] was born about 1668 in , Towednack, Cornwall, England. He was christened about 1670 in , Towednack, Cornwall, England. He died in Oct 1725 in Trevissa, Towednack, Cornwall, England. He was buried on 15 Oct 1725 in , Towednack, Cornwall, England. William married Jane CURNOW on 17 Oct 1696 in Towednack, Towednack, Cornwall, United Kingdom.

MARRIAGE: The following information is from Kathie Weigel: There has been some very odd speculation among the Curnow descendants that Jane Curnow, wife of William Baragwanath was formerly married to William Ninnes at age 15, was widowed, and married William Baragwanath using her maiden name! This was based on the premise that no earlier Jane Curnow was found, ignoring the fact that the extant Towednack Parish Register does not begin until 1676. However, William Ninnes and wife were having children christened at Towednack AT THE SAME TIME as William Baragwanath and wife. The Jane Curnow who married William Ninnes was actually the daughter of Thomas and Joan (Painter) Curnow (b. abt. 1672, chr. not recorded), while William Baragwanath's wife was the daughter of Robert and Catherine (Painter) Curnow, chr. in 1676, the first year of the registers.

NOTE: Information from William J. Curnow Jr.; Although her husband is shown as William Ninnes, there's an alternate possibility that she was married to William Baragwanath in 1696. Geoff Richards believes that this is the Jane who was married to William Baragwanath, and he's reflected that belief in his family tree. Ted Curnow also believes her husband was William Baragwanath.

DEATH: Information from Sharon Renfrey srenfrey@westnet.net.au

NOTE: Information from Kathie Weigel, her last name was Painter. Catern is the spelling of Catherine in Robert's will. His wife was Catherine Painter, as proved be the 1671 will of Peter Painter, a neighboring resident of Towednack, who mentioned his daughter "Catherine wife of Robert Curnow." This may be why Robert had a son named Peter
Information from William J. Curnow Jr.; Her name needs to be verified. Was it Canten, Catern, or some other spelling? In fact, Norma Curnow says that her given name was Catherine or Catern, and that her maiden surname is unknown. Based on Anthea Hurst's notes, I had believed that her maiden name was Catherine Canten.

NOTE: The following information is from Kathie Weigel: John Hobson Matthews, "A History of Saint Ives, Lelant, Towednack and Zennor, in the County of Cornwall" (London: Elliot Stock, 1892), p. 264: A deposition taken September 1680, concerning a non-payment of a tithe, shows "John Baraguanath, of Towednack, yeoman, age 62" as one of the deponees.
John is not named in the will of his father; however, the scarcity of Baragwanaths would seem to indicate that he IS a son of the elder John. His birth year fits perfectly into the family, and as he is the likliest
candidate to be the father of an ELEANOR Baragwanath (see note "i," below); I am confident in placing him as the son of John and Eleanor. It is not unheard of in England for a father to omit the name of the eldest son in his will, as he automatically inherits anything not bequeathed; also as an eldest son, he may have already received his inheritance.
John Baragwanath must have married and had issue. He and Richard are the only Baragwanaths in the area, and Richard is too young to be the father of the following:
Eleanor Barragwanath m. Thomas Carnsew 31 Aug 1669, St. Ives
Margaret Baragwanath m. John Nicholas 1671, Towednack
