5 Mary PENDER 1768-?
|
|
|
|
|
m John Carn BLUET 1786
|
|
|
|
Mary was baptised in 1768 at Paul, the parish church of the fishing village of Mousehole, and married John BLUETT, a Mousehole fisherman there, in 1786 when she was just eighteen. Mary and John baptised four children at Paul in the following six years, but no further records of either Mary or John are known. Although Mary was only 26 when
she baptised her last known child, no burial or remarriage record has been
identified, neither has she been found in the 1841 census when she would have
been 73 years old |

Mary was
married at Paul in 1786 and baptised children up to 1794 so a birth date around
1760 would be expected. There are only
2 suitable baptisms at Paul:
C 4Aug1751 Mary d Oliver & Mary PENDER
C 22May1768 Mary d John & Dorothy PENDAR
these give
marriage ages of 35 and 18.5 respectively and last baptisms at ages 43 and
27. The first marriage is thus rather
early, though possible. However, a
witness at the marriage was Richard PENDER; he is unlikely to be Mary’s father,
as there is no suitable parent of this name at Paul in 1786. However, if Mary were the daughter of John
and Dorothy, then her eldest brother would be named Richard. It may be noted that John died later that
year, which may account for his failure to witness the marriage. There seems little doubt therefore that Mary
was in fact the daughter of John & Dorothy.
There is
only one other suitable baptism in the Cornwall IGI, at nearby Sennen. This Mary Pender however may be married off
in the same parish:
C 5Jul1767 Mary d Robert PENDER; m 5Jny1787 Richard OATS of St Just & Mary PENDER
Mary
PENDER was married at Paul in 1786:

the
following baptism was also noted:
C 5Jun1789 Mary d Mary Carn BLEWETT [possibly some words faded here
though rest of page is OK]
Mary Carn BLEWETT
has not been identified, but it is doubtful whether she is the daughter of John
Carn particularly as no burial of Mary BLEWETT between 1878 and 1789 was found
There are
only two Mary BLEWETT burials at Paul after 1794 and which give a birth date
reconcilable with a marriage in 1786:
B
26May1815 Mary BLEWETT of Mousehole 56
[b 1759]
B
29Jan1832 Mary BLEWETT of Newlyn 62
[b 1770]
The 1815
burial almost certainly relates to Mary
BOTTREL, as her husband William BLEWETT, remarried later in 1815 as a widower,
and there is no other suitable burial of his wife. There is a possible baptism of Mary BOTTREL in nearby Sennen in
1762.
The 1832 burial can be identified with Mary ROUFFIGNAC who married John
BLEWETT in 1790 and moved to Newlyn ( as shown by baptismal and burial records
of their children) around 1800. No
suitable baptism of Mary ROUFFIGNAC has been found
It is believed that Mary PENDER was baptised in 1768, which again makes
the 1815 burial unlikely. She would
have been only 26 at the birth of her last child Michael, so did she remarry?
There are
three possible remarriages of Mary at Paul:
m
30Oct1794 William x CATTRAN otp & Mary x BLEWETT otp bb; w: Richard
WILLIAMS, William CATTRAN
m
29Jan1807 Richard RICHARDS otp & Mary BLEWETT otp bb; w: John BENNET?, --
COTTON
m
31Jun1819 William OSBORN soj otp & Mary BLEWETT bb; w: John BLEWETT, Thomas
BLEWETT
The last
two can be ruled out because baptisms to these parents continued to 1826 and
1831 respectively which is too late for Mary b1768 or earlier. The CATTRANs baptised Mary 1795, Ann 1797,
Mary 1800 and Mary 1804 and it is possible that this is Mary remarried as the
last baptism would have been when she was aged 36. If so, the remarriage took place two months before the baptism of
Michael. However, the Mary who married
John Carn Bluet signed her name, whereas the Mary who married William Cattran
signed with x. She can almost certainly
be identified as the son of Richard Blewett and Jane WILLIAMS, as Richard
WILLIAMS was a witness to the marriage.
The burial of Mary CATTRAN was not found at Paul before 1837.

There is
no John Carn buried at Paul and only two whose burial age gives a birthdate
near 1765:
B
29Jul1844 John BLEWETT of Newlyn 79 [b 1765]
B
13Jul1856 John BLEWETT of Mousehole 81 [b
1775]
John of
Newlyn can be positively identified with the John BLEWETT C1765, son of John
BLEWETT & Julyan (PENTREATH), who married Mary ROUFFIGNAC in 1790 and moved
to Newlyn around 1800. John and Mary
of Newlyn baptised and buried a child named Julian PENTREATH and in the 1841
census he was in Newlyn with his son Thomas
John
buried in 1856 can be identified with John C1778 son of John & Jane
(HUFFNAM) He married Jane MATTHEWS in
1805 and baptised a daughter Jane Huffin.
Thus no
burial remarriage or census records of John Carn or his wife have been found at
Paul after the baptism of Michael in 1794.
Possibly John Carn was lost at sea not long after 1794, the birth of
Michael, but what happened to Mary?
Mary’s family was from St Buryan, but no suitable burial of Mary was
found there or in nearby Sennen.
It is
noteworthy that no records have been found of their daughters Joan Carn and
Elizabeth at Paul either. Did the
family move to another parish? Mary
however may have married Richard RICHARDS in 1807, and it is believed Michael
married Ann PENTREATH in 1814 both at Paul
