Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!
The Canadian businessman Robert Colin Gwatkin (1819–1889) claimed to be a grandson of Robert Lovell Gwatkin, born in Clifton, but the reference is a bit shaky. The claimed father William, died age 29, would be another son. Charles Matthews (talk) 05:42, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Richard Gwatkin (born 1791) is the father of Henry Melvill Gwatkin. His connection with RLG can be made out. Thomas I had sons Thomas II and John, with John the grandfather of RLG; and Thomas II married Rebecca Seward.[1] Richard Gwatkin of Wadham College was a son of Thomas II, and "Thomas Gwatkin of Hereford, clerk", or Thomas IV, was his nephew.[2]
There were three sons and a daughter of the marriage,[3] so "Thomas Gwatkin of Hereford, clerk" was son of Thomas III or John II. Richard Gwatkin (born 1791) of St John's College, Cambridge is in Venn as "S. of T., clerk [and Jane]. B. Sept. 17, 1791, at Hereford." Therefore Richard and RLG are one generation apart, second cousins once removed. Charles Matthews
John Cam Hobhouse also had a relationship to RLG, somewhat tenuous. His father was Benjamin Hobhouse, son of the merchant John Hobhouse, of Westbury.[4] And John Hobhouse's second marriage was to Susannah Hobhouse, sister of Edward Gwatkin father of RLG. See [5] for the Gwatkin side of that, and [6] for the Hobhouse side. Those references differ on whether Susannah had issue.
