BIRTH

 

there is no record of the baptism of Kevern at Paul, but the following baptisms were found at neighbouring St Buryan:

 

C 8Aug1686 John    s George & Margery TREWAVAS

C  Nov1687 Leveran s George & Bene TREWAVAS

 

prededed by the marriage of George to Joan 12Jul1684

 

A booklet by Madeline Mitchell-Fox claims that Laveran was an old spelling for the place name Kevern (quoting “Guide to Cornish Placenames” by Morton Nance).  This author also notes that the Leveran baptism was recorded at Paul 31Nov1693

 

The St Burian registers have not yet been examined, but at present it seems likely that Margery, Bene, Joan, are one and the same, and that the family moved from St Burian to Paul around 1690.  Both John & Leveran/Kevern baptised families at Paul, both including a son George

 

The link between the two parishes is supported by the first clear Trewavas entry in the Paul register:

 

C 31Jul1656 John s Willi TREWAVAS of Burian

 

 

 

MARRIAGE

 

Richard-7 was baptised at Paul in 1724, son of Kevern.  The baptism is preceded by just one suitable marriage:

from Paul parish register:
