ABOVE ARE FAMILY DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS ELLIS VINGOE and his first wife Margaret Pollard GILBERT.

After both  Margaret Gilbert VINGOE and their  young daughter also named Margaret Gilbert VINGOE died he married 

 Mary Ann PAYNE   on 27 Oct  1855 at Paul ,  widow of Samuel Payne  with  two young children.

These children were adopted by Thomas Ellis VINGOE and  I have entered them in their chronological place within the two families.

Fact 1..Samuel Payne and Caroline Roberts were married at St Peter's Church Newlyn According to the parish record" Samuel Payne was of full age and a  fisherman [father Samuel Payne, fisherman] and Caroline Roberts was of full age [ Father James Roberts. Cab Proprietor] Witnesses were T. E, Vingoe & ? Vingoe

QUESTION Was John Mewse also known Henry Mewse or was he baptised John Henry Mews c  1856. NEED to look up the GRO  index and get his Birth Certificate

Fact 1 : Thomas Ellis VINGOE and Mary Ann Payne's first child was born on 31st July 1856 and registered as Louisa Jane Goodman VINGOE (after a relative of Mary Ann's), but baptised Margaret on 19th October 1856, presumably Thomas Ellis' wish, so it seems there was some conflict over the choice of name. However, it seems as though Thomas Ellis got his way, as she was referred to as Margaret in censuses, on her marriage and on the birth of her children.
