Does anyone have any information on John Prideaux born 1809 Antony, Torpoint. I understand he married Margaret (maiden name unknown) about 1831 Plymouth, Devon area? John Prideaux was a seaman - Royal Navy.

I too have been trying to buy a copy of this book. I am descended from the Dulverton Prideaux family. I live in the UK and finally got hold of the book to read through the inter-county library request system. Worth trying if you live in the UK. Best wishes

If you ask at your local library they can request a copy from intercounty loans.
It costs a few pounds and is worth it.
Because the book is no longer in print you are allowed to copy (legaly)a number of pages. I think it is 15%.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Leonie, This is my first visit to this site. Whilst perusing the message boards, I noticed your cry for Help!

The information that I have is relatively recent and the publication was available on request.

The problem is this, where do u reside, are you overseas, etc? If you are living outwith the west country then you will not be able to Loan/draw the book from the Reference Library. The book is out of print, unfortunately.

Hopefully u live in the West Country, please advise me of your residence, place and country.

I look forward to your reply
Yours Aye

Am interested in finding the final resting place of Lieut. J. Prideaux who died near the town of Pembroke Dock Pembrokeshire in 1938, whilst stationed at R.A.F. Pembroke Dock.
He is not buried in or near Pembroke and information held suggests he was a native of Windsor Berkshire England.

bluets15_1 — 2010-08-24 22:49:06Z

My family and I are planning a trip to Cornwall in March 2011 to retrace the former haunts of our Cock/Prideaux ancestors.

I am wondering if there is anyway to find the property on which they used to live? Also, in some cases, which mines they worked in.

I'm particularly interested in discovering where Charles Cock (b. Nov 1815, Gwinear; d. bef 1870 Wisconsin, USA) lived (near Lanyon) and worked (which copper mine) before coming to the United States. He was married (m. 26 Nov 1836, Gwinear) to Alice Elizabeth Michell (b. May 1814 Gwinear, d. 1849 Wisconsin). I'd also like to find the church where they were married.

I'd also like to see the gravestones of Charles Cock's parents, but I don't know where to find them. His parents were:

Charles Cock (b. 1789 Cornwall, d. Cornwall)
Hannah Hale (b. 1788 Gwinear, d. Cornwall)

I'd also love to find birth places and burial sites for the families of Stephen Prideaux (b. 10 Nov 1810 Cornwall, d. Wisconsin) son of Stephen Prideaux (1784-1860) and Mary Carthew (1788-1834) and his wife Elizabeth Trevithick (b. 27 Nov 1808 Illogan, d. 1884 Wisconsin), daughter of Thomas Trevithick of Illogan & Cambourne (1785-1846) and Jane Chywidden (b. 1790).

We'd also be interested in meeting up with any distant cousins currently living in England! I'll be traveling with my father (the ggg grandson of Charles Cock b. 1815), my young son (the ggggg grandson of Charles Cock b. 1815), plus my mom and husband.

If you have any information. Or are interested in meeting up, please let me know. You can respond directly to this thread of email me at nicolette.cagle (at) gmail.com.

Thank you for your time.

I was able to buy several copies a few years ago from Amazon.com- they act as middlemen for other book sellers for used books. I gave copies to my brothers and sister.

I wonder if anyone is working on updating / correcting the info- I know I have found a few mistakes in my little branch. I come through that same branch as you- Thomas m to Elizabeth Pugsley, son Thomas,his son Thomas, his daughter Sarah (who married William Px 1846 (PX book does not match census and BMD certificates here...).

Thats what I did.

Also at the History Press there is a man called Kevin Paul

Re: Prideaux family

Good Morning,

Perhaps if the Prideaux-Brune family feel the house and family are badly documented they have the perfect vehicle with the Prideaux Place website to change that.

Sorry I couldn't be much more help.

Leigh

Re: Prideaux family

JLF48 — 2009-07-20 20:41:19Z

Thanks so much for looking this up. When I spoke with Elisabeth Prideaux-Brune, she quipped, "for some reason the house and family are amazingly badly documented!" Of course as prolific as William the Conqueror was, we are probably all connected to him, at least through Kevin Bacon. I recently read that Princes William and Harry can trace at least 40 connections back to him [William, not Kevin].

Re: Prideaux family

LeighPrideaux — 2009-07-20 09:24:07Z

Hello,

I've looked at my copy of 'Prideaux A Westcountry Clan' and can't find any references to Christian Prideaux and Edward Godolphin. I think that possibly Thomas Prideaux may have been Sir Thomas Prideaux who married Jane daughter of Philip Bodrugan. This is on Pedigree 3 in the book. Thomas was the 4xgreat grandson of Paganus Prideaux, the first recorded Prideaux. I can find no reference to William the Conquerer. I have seen the reference you referred to on the Prideaux Place website but have found no evidence that the Prideauxs were descendants of William the Conquerer. Perhaps it is the Brune part of the name.

There are many entries on Rootsweb referrring to Christian and Edward.

Regards

Leigh

Re: prideaux family

rogerchurm1 — 2009-07-15 13:34:40Z

I read with much interest that your descendant John Williams married Margaret Prideaux which is documented,but do you know who their children were ?

Re: prideaux family

JLF48 — 2009-07-15 09:22:02Z

Our family shows a Christian Prideaux marrying into our Godolphin line in 1294. In this instance, Christian is female, born 1274 in Prideaux, Cornwall. Her father is listed as Thomas, born in 1248.

The Prideaux Place site [http://www.prideauxplace.co.uk/] claims the Prideaux lines "descend from such diverse characters as William the Conqueror, King Edward I and Queen Eleanor of Castile. Jane Austen too was a close relation." However, I cannot find anything more than what I outlined above. Elisabeth Prideaux-Brune suggested that I search for Roy Prideaux's book, but I have not had any success. Would you be willing to check these two names for me? I would love to establish another line to Edward I, et al.

Thanks!

Get the book Prideaux a West country clan By RM Prideaux
from intercounty library.
request it from your local library for a small fee it will answer all of your questions.
It has all the prideaux pedegrees and family trees with a chapter on each pedegree.

I can tell you his father was john christened 1689 and his mother was ann. also surname is a bit muddled (PRIDDEAU)because of church clerks lack of literacy skills.
I have got a bit more info if you want it

Prideaux family in North Dakota and Wisconsin circa 1917-1930

KristieKern — 2009-01-25 09:26:46Z

I am the grand-niece of Hulda NEIDHARDT and Roy PRIDEAUX in North Dakota. I have several old family photographs of the PRIDEAUX family going back to the early 1900's. Since Hulda and Roy have no living direct descendants, I would like to return these photos to a member of the PRIDEAUX family.

Roy was born in Wisconsin and I know from family letters that Roy's family -- his parents and siblings -- were living in Dickinson, ND in 1917 until at least the 1930's.

If you believe you may be a member of this branch, please respond to this posting.

Prideaux: A Westcountry Clan - HELP!

leoniemorgan — 2009-01-19 08:44:06Z

Hi Folks,
I am researching the Prideaux family in Landkey, Devon. I received a message on another forum a few years ago suggesting I read Prideaux: A Westcountry Clan. I've been trying to get hold of a copy for about a year and am having no luck whatsoever. If anyone has a copy of the book and would be willing to provide any information on my ancestors and how they link (if they do) to the Prideaux clan of Cornwall, I'd be very grateful. The names I'm stuck on are:

Thoman PRIDEAUX m Elizabeth PUGSLEY. I understand that he married firstly Hannah TROUT. One of their children, Prudence PRIDEAUX m William MARQUISS. I have the names and christening dates of Thomas and Elizabeth's children from the IGI

Thomas PRIDEAUX was the son of George PRIDEAUX (PRIDDAX) m Mary SUMERS. They had three children; John, George and Thomas.

That's all I've got! Any help would be much appreciated.

I to have now read Michael Prideaux's book from an intercunty loan.
And would like to add an ammendment to one of the Prideax trees.
Stephen Prideaux chr 21.2.1692 in Camborne and his wife Catharine Cisley [Caseley] had another daughter which does not show on the tree she was Jane Prideaux chr St Ives 29 May 1737,probaly the reason she never showed was because she was not christened in Camborne whereas her siblings were.
Also anther subscriber mentioned Margaret Prideaux married John Williams which is correct but was Mark Williams their son is there any proof of this and if so where is the source ?

Hello Kim,

What a wonderful story about Robert Prideaux (Priddis). I found out some more about him at this link -http://www.glanvillenet.info/eulalia1.htm

I'll have a read of the chapters you mention and let you know in the next few days what I think.

Re: prideaux family

kim91159 — 2008-09-17 07:59:48Z

Hello Leigh

My apologies but when I check the execution refers to Robert Prideaux - unfortunately seem to be getting my Roberts and Rogers mixed up I think. However, I may have found this information out. He appears to have been executed for his part in the murder of his mistresses husband (he was a servant in the household).... that's devotion to duty for you.

I don't know if you can help me solve another hypothesis I am struggling to comprehend?

I am trying to work out the connection between pedigree 16 beginning with Philip Predys on page 212 to pedigree 15 on pages 210/211. The author suggests he found the link but I've been unable to spot it despite studying the chapter really hard, I think it needs a fresh pair of eyes. Again on page 208 in the last paragraph he tells us he had made the vital link between Steven, Philip and John of Braunton with Nicholas of Barbados - Nicholas of Barbados is part of Pedegree 16 as Philip Predy's reputed great grandson - that therefore seems to connect the pedigrees but I just don't know how. The only idea I can come up with is that the Philip who heads up Pedigree 16 may have been a brother or a cousin of the Steven and John that head up the pedigree 15 lines. Braunton, Barnstaple and Georgeham are a cats whisker away from each other.

The other statement I have not been able to research is again mentioned in the same sentence as the execution of Richard and this is Dorothy's attachment to the recusant Arundell family of Dorset - I wonder whether there is any more background to this?

Any ideas would be most gratefully received.

Regards. Kim

Hi

On reading the Prideaux book (A West Country Clan, the author talks about the execution of a Roger Prideaux in 1591. The author wonders whether this incident may have been an influential factor as to why certain branches of the family moved towards Somerset. Does anyone know what the execution was for?

There will certainly be a connection but many generations back. My Prideauxs were humble seamen, fishermen and farmers from the Isles of Scilly. It's thought their ancestor was from Truro Cornwall and were descended from William Prideaux of Trevose.
