      [:BOLD][:UND]
      Thomas MARTIN a bachelor and Mary PHILLIPS of the parish of Redruth a spinster were married 18th December 1819 at Illogan Parish Church
      Witnesses: Hugh PHILLIPS and John WILLOUGHBY

      John Phillips MARTIN son of Thomas and Mary MARTIN Portreath Coal Meter was baptised 17th September 1820 at Illogan Parish Church

      Thomas MARTIN son of Thomas and Mary MARTIN Portreath Porter was baptised 1st December 1823

      Richard MARTIN son of Thomas and Mary MARTIN Portreath Coal Metre(sic) was baptised 10th June 1827

      Mary Phillips MARTIN daughter of Thomas and Mary MARTIN Portreath Coal Meter was baptised privately 2nd March 1829 at Illogan Parish Church


      This Thomas MARTIN could possibly be the brother of Jane/Jennifer MARTIN who married John TRELOAR

      Illogan Registers:

      Thomas MARTIN sojourner in this parish and Elizabeth GILE spinster married by Banns 4th November 1786. Thomas signed Elizabeth X
      The following were all listed as being the children of a Thomas and Elizabeth MARTIN:
      Thomas baptised 1st June 1788
      Richard baptised 25th November 1792
      Jennifer baptised 31st May 1795
      Grace Blewit baptised 4th October 1796
      Jennifer baptised 23rd June 1797

      The Thomas MARTIN who married Mary PHILLIPS and had John Phillips, Thomas, Richard and Mary was aged 60 in the 1851 Census so could be him but no proof. The names Jane and Jennifer seemed to be used for the same person in Cornwall – don’t ask me why! So, it could be that Jane/Jennifer who married John TREOAR and Thomas MARTIN were brother and sister. Needs proof of some sort though.

      Mary (PHILLIPS) MARTIN’s name does not appear in the 1841 Census. Thomas has a Housekeeper living with him and the children John, Thomas, Richard and Mary. In 1851 he has a different person living with him described as a House Servant and Thomas and Richard are still at home. Thomas’ occupation in 1851 was Coal Weigher. In 1861 he is living with Elizabeth JOHNS Housekeeper and he is aged 71. He is not in the 1871 Census. Although he does not have a wife living with him in the Census returns he is described as married not widower so don’t know if that means that she left him or was in the Asylum or something as his housekeeper was described as a widow.

      John Phillips MARTIN son of Thomas and Mary married Sarah COCK March Qtr. 1846 Reduth area. In the Census returns, his ocupation is given as Lime Burner. In the 1851 Census he has two children Mary P. aged 4 and Thomas aged 7 months. In 1861 he has more children Richard aged 6 and Emma J. aged 2. In 1871 his sons Thomas and Richard as still living with him and his wife but the girls are not mentioned. In 1881 Sarah is described as a widow and has her daughter Mary SLEEMAN also listed as a widow living with her and John P. MARTN son aged 2. I don’t know if this means that Mary had a son after her husband died and he was known by her maiden name or not – needs checking out.

      Thomas son of Thomas and Mary MARTIN emigrated to Australia

      Richard son of Thomas and Mary MARTIN married Caroline NOBEL Dec Qtr. 1846 Redruth. There is a headstone in Illogan Cemetery for Caroline MARTIN wife of Richard born 14 September 1834 died 17 November 1889 also daughter Caroline born 7 August 1856 died 23 February 1877 also Mary CARVETH daughter born 25 September 1861 died 20 August 1889 also Richard her husband born 11 May 1827 died 6 March 1899. In the 1861 Census Richard and Caroline had their daughter Caroline aged 4. In 1871 there were three daughters Caroline age 14, Mary C. aged 9 and Rosina aged 6. In 1881 Mary C. and Rosina were still living at home. By 1891, Richard was a widower living with his daughter Rosina. He was still living in 1901.

      Mary Phillips daughter of Thomas and Mary MARTIN nothing known after 1841.
