Welcome to the Vingoe Family web site for 2007. Since the site first went on line in March 2001, we have made contact with many other people with connections to the family and we feel that it is time that we all got together so we are planning a reunion here in Cornwall in 2010 so if you find you are related to the family and would like to join in then please make contact.
We are now starting to redesign the site based on comments made by people in the past and it is our intention to move it all on to one ads free website rather than the 5 different site we have at present. The changes will take time but should not affect your viewing at all.
To all those researchers who have sent us information we say a big thank you and if you have stories, poems pictures indeed anything about the ancestors that you would like to share then please send them to us and we will endeavor to find a place for them on the site.
Whilst this site is for members of extended family to enjoy it is also intended to be a tool to help genealogist, historians, and others carrying out research into the Penwith area of Cornwall in the United Kingdom. Our main aim has been to provide information from an historical viewpoint on the Vingoe family, the places they lived and the occupations they followed. Over the last six years we have constantly been updating the site and now the time has come for a major rebuild in order to make it easier for people to use. Our aim is also to add new branches and information to the family tree which have been provided by people related to the family. Sandra and I wish to thank all those who have passed on information so that it can be shared with others. I am writing this in 2007 and so far we have been able to put links on the site to over 300 surnames and the number is still growing.
Many situations have brought a lump to the throat as we have read the faint written words on some old tattered document. A little comprehension of their struggle to survive is passed down to us; sitting in comfort before a blazing fire and living in more secure times. You can almost feel their presence willing you to discover more so that their story can be told, even though they had been denied the opportunity to contribute to the writing of their own history.
In tracing Sandra's family tree we have collected a lot of information on Sennen and other parishes. But this site is about the people who lived and worked in these parishes, which in the case of Sennen includes the Lands End. The families tended to be multi-skilled: farmer fishermen, with a touch of mining thrown in. If you had visited the far west of Cornwall in the 1600's you would have found sheep and goats by the thousands grazing the land. However, one thing is certain it was a hard life and the frequent harvest failures on land or sea meant that smuggling and free trading was also part of their trade. The family were closely connected by marriage and social connections to those we have found in the lists of both free trader and privateer and in the opposite occupations of Revenue Officer and Coast Guard. They sailed very close to the wind indeed. Many have blank records where they disappear from the scene for years. Many of them paid the ultimate penalty and with others their death go unrecorded. Mystery abounds!
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries many sort new lives across the seas and some of their history is recorded here. There have been heroes amongst the family members including a George Cross winner and two Lifeboat Coxswains, there are those who paid the supreme sacrifice in time of war and others who lost their lives in shipwrecks. All this and more you will find within these pages so please browse the site and we hope you enjoy your visit.
Please keep coming back as we will be updating the site all the time. You will find other Web Sites with a Cornish or Genealogy interest on the Links Page and we will endeavor to provide a number of resources here to help those of you who are doing research connected with Cornwall whilst at the same time hoping that you will share your knowledge with others through the site. We also welcome constructive comment and suggestions on how we can improve its content.
We would welcome any info on the remaining relatives that you may know of..........
We try to collect the female lines as well as in the early days their offspring often married back into the various lines. Cousins in reality as well as Law were often joined in complicated patterns of kinship. So if you find a connection and want further information then please get in touch as we cannot put all the information we hold on to the web.
Below are just some of the Vingoe lines which we have researched. We will be adding more in the future so if you cannot find your particular line then contact us giving as much information as possible and we will try to answer your query. Also if you have information you wish to add or have any corrections to the data on the site then let us know.
It is important that all data on this site is checked with the original source that we quote. We are only human and mistakes can be made even though we do our best not to make them.

Line of John & Joan VINGOE
of
Sennen, Cornwall
The Common Ancestors of all Lines so far.
I give the lines down from John & Joan Vingoe's sons, John and William VINGOE, who were known to have produced children. In John's will of 1656 their 5 sons are mentioned; William, John, Jenkyn, Martin & Peter. John VINGOE had decided what would happened to his property. On the death of his widow, Joan, it would go to their eldest son, William VINGOE.
The will of Edmund Nicholas dated 1662 names Joan as one of his three married daughters; Joan Vingoe, Jane Bottrell and Charity Harry]
In the will of Joan Vingoe, widow, in 1685, only 4 grandchildren are referred to by name.. Her grandson WILLIAM VINGOE JNR., who stood to inherit under his own father's will, did not receive any bequest from Joan and was therefore allowed to sign her Will as a witness. He also appears to have written the name of Joan Vingoe against her mark.
The Will of Joan Vingoe dated 1684/5

William's other son, HENRY VINGOE is left a small bequest, as are JOHN VINGOE and JANE VINGOE, children of her other son John VINGOE. There are other grandchildren mentioned but they are not named. It does not help that records for Sennen only start in 1695.
There is some doubt as to whether the William VINGOE [circa 1693], is a son of Joan's grandson William and his wife Agnes.
There also is some doubt as to whether the William that married Ann ? c1721, with children John, Liz, Ann and Joan [1722-1730], was the same as he that later married Mary Daniel of Sancreed in 1730 in Sennen, with children William, Henry & Richard [1730-36.] The children's birth dates would appear to be contiguous with no repetitions in their names.
JOHN VINGOE born 1722 to William and Ann inherits the land around Trevescan, Sennen and WILLIAM VINGOE c 1693 inherits the land around Trevilley, Sennen. William and his two eldest sons, William & Henry, leave no record of their death or burial. His youngest son, Richard b 1736, eventually inherits Trevilley and parts of Sennen Churchtown, namely the First and Last Inn, where he had the Dower House built around circa 1748, according to old
The Dower house, Sennen Church Town.
deeds. From a Hutchens family Will proved in 1747 it would appear that William Vingoe [c1693] was still alive then. It mentioned a partnership in fishing boats etc., so perhaps he and his two eldest sons perished at sea around 1747/48, leaving the youngest son Richard to marry and continue the line.
There are no further wills in this Sennen family line to help out and its only by chasing land holdings that you can make sense of anything.
For the record, I have split the various branches into the separate trees after the grandchildren appear on John and Joan Vingoe's Tree.

West Penwith Dwelling 1660 About Jenkin VINGOE I have a John Vingoe marrying twice at Mawgan in Meneage; firstly in 1605 to Christian Reskillie and secondly in 1620 to Alice Richards. These two John's might be the same person, father and son, half brothers or even nephew and uncle; too many gaps in the records to tell! Most of the following early information has been provided by Quaker records as Sennen record before 1700 were destroyed. Jenkin was a member of the Lands End Quakers and was imprisoned for his beliefs. To read more on this go to Sennen QUAKERS using your back button to return to this site.
