Thanks to Veronica and Blanche, I now have the 1851 census entry for
William CATHRAN  at Porthallow, St Keverne.


The following letter came in from Di. Lawrence, and of course her GG.grandfather and the others are now on the above list. Thanks for the information Di.

Hello George

I was looking into finding my great great grandfather John John' Benney

In 1881 he was living in Par Green Par Cornwall as a Coast guard R/N I have looked into this and found on the 1891 census there was a coastguard station run by John Bradbury number 4 Par Green (you do have his name listed), also listed living in the same street 1891 was Henry Elliott aged 52 coastguard officier ( he was a witness at my gg grandfathers wedding in 1863) you have his name listed,  Frank Johns aged 29 living number 1 Par Green you have him on your list, James Tregidgo living number 2 Par Green you have his name on your list, Henry Northy aged 40 , you have his name on your list.

On the 1881 census (Tywardreath near St Blazey)

Joshua Heath aged 65 chief officier coastguard Par Green born Poperrow Cornwall

Edwin Parker aged 52 boatman coast guard Par Green you have his name on your list.

John John's Benney aged 40 born St Winnow ( my great great grandfather) boatman coast guard R/N Par Green

Michael Ryburn Cond boatswan coast guard Par Green aged 40 born Cork Ireland

Robert Engleken aged 37 boatman coast guard Par Green born London Middlesex

William Mahoney aged 36 boatman coast guard Par Green born Ireland.

 As there was no one to ask if there was a coast guard station in Par Cornwall I found it on the 1891 census.

 I would love you to add my Great great grandfather please.

He died 24/07/1881 he had dropsy was one of the reasons, this was quite common in boatsman coastguards.

 If you have any information that you think I would like please let me know.

 Best Wishes

Di Lawrence
