****The West Briton (Friday, 04 1857) reported two marriages at Ludgvan, and there are problems with the description of both events:

>>>"At Ludgvan, on Sunday last, Mr Thomas HITCHENS, of Ludgvan, to Miss Jane HICKS, of Lelant; and on Wednesday last, Mr. Solomon UREN to Miss Jane WARMINGTON, both of the parish of Lelant."

(1) Jane HICKS (age 21, d/o Thomas HICKS) did indeed marry at Ludgvan on Sunday, 29 Nov 1857. However, the man she married was Thomas WILLIAMS  (b.1836 Ludgvan, s/o Nathaniel WILLIAMS & Grace KITCHEN).

The marriage by banns was witnessed by Nathaniel WILLIAMS and Thomas HICKS. Jane HICKS was in fact the same person as Jennifer HICKS, d/o Thomas Trewhella HICKS & Margaret RICHARDS, baptized at Uny Lelant on 26 Jul 1835. The forenames Jennifer and Jane are often involved in confusion.

(2) Solomon UREN (b.1832, s/o Thomas UREN & Jane WARMINGTON) and Jane WARMINGTON (b.1835, d/o William WARMINGTON & Christiana WHITE) were indeed married on Wednesday, 25 Nov 1857.

However, the event took place at Uny Lelant and not at Ludgvan. The entry in the Uny Lelant parish register specifically says "Marriage solemnized at the parish Church in the parish of Uny Lelant in the County of Cornwall." The marriage by license was witnessed by William WARMINGTON and Jane WARMINGTON. The bride and groom 
were first cousins.

*****The West Briton (Friday, 18 Dec 1857) included the following birth at St. 
Ives:

>>>"At St. Ives, the wife of Mr. John Bennetts AYE, of a daughter..."

The birth was also reported by The Royal Cornwall Gazette (Friday, 18 Dec 
1857):

"At St. Ives, the wife of Mr. John BENNETT, of a daughter..."

The child was Mary Major BENNETTS, d/o John BENNETTS & Mary Major HARRIS. 
She was baptized at Halsetown, St. Ives on 22 Dec 1857, and the baptism 
record helpfully indicates that the family was of Ayr, St. Ives. So "AYE" 
appearing in The West Briton was probably meant to have been "of Ayr". It 
was definitely not the child's surname.

and

>>>"At St. Ives, on the 10th instant, Mrs. Cordelia TICKLER, aged 78 years..."


The Royal Cornwall Gazette (Friday, 18 Dec 1857) found their own way to 
garble the facts:

"At St. Ives., Mrs. Cordelia SUKLER, aged 72 years..."


In reality the lady was Mrs. Cordelia SICKLER, and she was most likely 76 or 
77 at her death. Cordelia SAMPSON, d/o Nicholas SAMPSON & Rachel HOSKIN, 
was baptized at St. Ives on 11 Feb 1781. She married John PEARCE at St. 
Ives in 1806. Following his death, she married Richard SICKLER (s/o John & 
Mary SICKLER, bapt. 05 Jul 1779 at St. Ives) during 1815 at St. Ives. She 
had three known children by her first marriage plus a daughter by her 
second. Cordelia was buried at St. Ives on 13 Dec 1857.

****The West Briton (Friday, 25 Dec 1857) reported the following marriage at St. 
Ives:

> ... Mr. Charles D. EUSTICE, to Miss Mary QUICK, of Rosewall.

The bride's name was actually Mary Quick ROSEWALL, d/o George ROSEWALL & 
Mary QUICK, baptized 13 Jan 1832. Her family lived in St. Ives at Anjou 
Green at the 1851 Census and at Folly Farm at the 1861 Census.

The groom was Charles Dale EUSTICE (b.ca. 1838 St. Ives). He was a 
fisherman when he married and a farmer at Hellesveor, St. Ives at the 1861 
and 1871 Census. The identity of his parents is unknown. He may be the 
Charles DALE whose birth was registered at Penzance during 3Q1838. If so, 
the facts hint at the possibility that his was an illegitimate birth. No 
baptism record has been found, but families named DALE and EUSTICE or EUSTIS 
were present at St. Ives during the 19th century.

The marriage was registered at Penzance during 4Q1857 with the couple 
identified as Charles Dale EUSTIS (sic) and Mary Quick ROSEWALL. The St. 
Ives marriage register also shows the groom's surname as EUSTIS and fails to 
identify his father.
