Sorry NL, I missed John Smith the Witness from the Marriage of Corneilius and Eleanor

So that means that one is out of the frame for that one being alive in 1841
in which case those kids are not Eliza dau of Cornelius and Elizabeth
and not Phebe dau of Cornelius and Eleanor
does that sound rite?

Ok think that sorts out the Cornelius born 1776 married twice son of Joseph Priest and Elizabeth Ingley
he dies 1825....still need to verify where that Maria dau came from for him
have contacted Di.....I believe that Maria then married Joseph Sidaway
and we can connect up then..
So the other Cornelius married late I have info given from a good source...
This second Cornelius (s/o John & Sarah Priest bap. 11.04.1779) was a soldier in the 2nd Royal Veteran Battalion, 36th Foot Regiment, and served for 15years and 9 months, finally leaving at the age of 43. His pension records are at the National Archives ref. WO 121/186/242.
So that must be the one at Gosty with Fillis in 1841 and kids
He dies 1844
Q1 1844 ref. Dudley 18 249

Mary Priest 15
Thomas Priest 15

Susannah Priest 10
Joseph Priest 5

hmm not quite rite at the top of tree.....wrong parents I think
John and Sarah Priest had 2 Cornelius 1776 who died
and the 1779 one with Phillis
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =553864114the one in 1776 son of Joseph and Elizabeth is the one that married Eleanor and then Mary had kids
as here
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =600925996although not sure on that Maria Priest...that concerns me
so think they have their cornelius mixed a bit
we can prove that the one in 1841 is the one that died 1844 informant nephew of Cornelius
an emanuel son of Mary parsons nee priest
1841 cornelius living near another son of Mary Parsons nee priest Richard parsons
Mary the sister of Cornelius links up the 1841 one nicely
The 1776 one died 1825 aged 49
