Margaret James (1762-1839)

Edit

Margaret James was baptised on 25th April 1762 in St Hillary, Cornwall, England. Her parents were Joel and Mary James (nee Carne). The surname 'Came' for Margeret's mother is a mistranscription of the surname 'Carne'.

Margaret's siblings were Joel, Elizabeth and Ann (another sister named Elizabeth died young).

Marriage[]

Margaret married at aged 25 to Peter Trounson, son of Peter and Joan Trounson (nee Karn) from Ludgvan. The couple married in St Erth on 9th August 1787, and witnesses to the marriage were a Edward Rawlings and Joel James (possibly Margaret's father or brother). Peter was a sojourner to St Erth at the time of the marriage and was employed as a labourer.

The couple settled and had 9 known children. Although St Erth is recorded as the location for all the baptisms of the children, they may not have all been born there. Daughter Ann is known to have been born in St Hillary and baptised in St Erth.
