CHRISTENING-MARRIAGE-BURIAL: Information supplied by William J.  Curnow Jr.

NOTE: This information from William J. Curnow Jr.; Margery Eddy was a widow when she married William Curnow.

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 7 Apr 1703 and died Aug 1752.
  M v
John CURNOW was born 1701 in Towednack, Cornwall, United Kingdom and was christened 4 May 1701 in Towednack, Cornwall, United Kingdom. He died Nov 1705 and was buried 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 Towednack, Cornwall, United Kingdom. She died Aug 1775 in Towednack, Cornwall, United Kingdom and was buried 17 Aug 1775 in Towednack, Cornwall, United Kingdom.

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, United Kingdom. He died in Cornwall, United Kingdom and was buried 15 Oct 1725 in , , Cornwall, United Kingdom. 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.
