I am looking for information on Richard Eddy b1871 Trewellard,St Just, Cornwall.

He is the son of Richard Eddy and Sarah Trembath, he was a gold miner confirmed by his death certificate, and by my grandfathers birth certificate . He married Jannie Thomas in 1898 in St Just Cornwall but must have returned abroad as he was not on the 1901 census either...but I do not know to which country.

Not sure if you still need help re this query Richard Eddy was my gradmother (Grace Eddy) eldest brother. I have also looked for Richard Eddy and assumed he died abroad but I do have lots of info including photos. I had no idea he was married though or had family so would be very interested in more information.

Since writing this message, I have received the Will of Richard Eddy b1871.

He died in September 1902 leaving a gift to each of his siblings and money to his mother Sarah Trembath. There was no mention of him having a wife or son named Richard Eddy b1899.

Although my ggranfather has the exact same details as him, year of birth, year of death, place of abode at marriage,a father named Richard Eddy (a Miner), and himself a Gold Miner, I now not sure I have the correct person now.

On the UK census there is only one Richard Eddy born that year or even in close years, with a father named Richard who was a miner, so I am a a bit of a lose after receiving the Will as to my Richards parentage. Also UK incoming passenger ships appear to show him arriving too late to marry my g-grandmother by a month, and also about a month too late for him to be the father of his second child Doris Eddy born March 1903 unless it was a prem birth. Again the name Doris appears many times in Trembath family Trees I have see, but not in ours until that time.
I would be interested to learn more just in case I am related, and thank you for making contact.
