Hello Lesa: Since I am Canadian, I have no idea where St. Keverne is located in UK. My maiden name is Pulkingham and my father always said he thought it should be Pulkinghorn/Polkinghorn(e). I am stuck on my ggrandfather, James Pulkingham who turns up in Ontario in the 1971 Canadian Census as 38 years of age; b c1833; had a father named William born in UK (no mother name documented).

After 12 years of searching I came upon the death certificate of my paternal grandfather(Charles Pulkingham) with his father stated to be James Pulkingham born in St Minver. This is my first breakthrough for info over in UK. Checking out the Cornwall archives I have found 2 families with head of h/hold "William" who have boys falling in that age/born criterea in 1841 UK census.

James Polkingham, 12; b c 1829; Cornwall, Redruth, UK
James Polkingham, 2; b c 1833; Cornwall, Breage, Helston.
Can either of these two have anything to do with you?
