Re: Parish Register Interpretation

All the surviving sons of John and Sarah had married by 1841 and are found in the census with their new families - Sarah obviously had to work at 14 and did not appear to have a family home to go to. (but no obvious death record for her father!) Paul (my gg grandfather) worked as a miner at Cornelly mine and whilst he farmed at Cornelly later on I do not think he owned the land - he died intestate in 1895 but the estate administration records do not refer to any land ownership.
