Trezise of St Agnes Cornwall

Date: [unknown] [unknown]
Location: St Agnes, Cornwall, England
Surnames/tags: Trezise Tresize Tresise

So, this is confusing!

There may be 3 or even 4 different Richard Trezise's residing in or near St Agnes, all possibly having children born around the same time. I am going to attempt to break it down here, see what we have.

Baptisms of Richard Trezise/Tresize/Tresise :

• Richard, son of Edward TRESIZE baptised 2 Sep 1683 in Perranzabuloe ✓
• Richard, son of Richard TRESIZE baptised 7 Nov 1686 in St Agnes
• Richard, son of Richard TRESISE baptised 22 Jul 1704 in St Agnes
• Richard, son of Richard TRESZISE baptised 11 Sep 1709 in St Agnes ✓

Marriages of Richard Trezise/Tresize/Tresise :

• Richard TREZISE and Mary JENKIN 24 Jun 1705 in St Agnes
• Richd TREZISE and Amie MITCHEL 16 Jan 1715/16 in St Agnes

These are the only 2 marriages in or near St Agnes for this time frame, the next marriage I can find is not until 1763

1705 and 1715/16 are too soon to be marriages for Richard (1704) and (1709), so perhaps they are for Richard (1683) and (1686). It is also likely that Richard (1683) and (1686) are the fathers of Richard (1704) and (1709).

From 1705, baptisms for a child of Richard Trezise/Tresize/Tresise :

Ann, daughter of Richard TRESISE baptised 7 Mar 1706/7 in St Agnes ✓
With only Richard and Mary married at this stage, it is a safe bet she is the daughter of Richard Trezise and Mary Jenkin

Richard, son of Richard TREZISE baptised 11 Sep 1709 in St Agnes ✓
With only Richard and Mary married at this stage, it is a safe bet he is the son of Richard Trezise and Mary Jenkin. The husband of Ann (unknown), he passed away in Sithney in 1787 aged 78 - see below

No burial found for the Mary baptised in 1734, 2 different fathers perhaps?

Katherine, daughter of Richad TREZISE baptised 3 Aug 1736 in St Agnes

Too many years past to be the daughter of Richard Trezise and Mary Jenkin - another possible couple?

Richard Trezise baptised 2 Sep 1683 in Perranzabuloe :
Already added to WikiTree as married to Mary Jenkin in 1705 in St Agnes :

• Ann baptised 7 Mar 1706/7 in St Agnes
• Richard Trezise baptised 11 Sep 1709 in St Agnes, husband of Ann, their children:
  • Anne baptised 4 Apr 1738 in St Agnes
  • Walter baptised 6 Nov 1738 in St Agnes
  • Mary baptised 14 Jan 1740/1 in St Agnes
  • Richard baptised 10 Apr 1744 in St Agnes
  • Francis baptised 28 Dec 1747 in St Agnes
  • John baptised 16 Nov 1750 in St Agnes
  • Thomas baptised 21 Mar 1753 in St Agnes
• Mary baptised 27 Sep 1712 in St Agnes

Richard Trezise baptised 7 Nov 1686 in St Agnes :
Could be the Richard Trezise that married Amy (Mitchel) in 1715/16
Did this couple have any children? There are no children baptised to Richard from 1712 to 1730
Amy Trezise, widow, was buried in St Agnes on 10 Dec 1750.

This process leaves me with Richard 1704 and children Thomas 1730, Mary 1734, Mary 1735 and Katherine 1736 unaccounted for.
Perhaps they are the children of this Richard?
