Martin Dawe (July 10)
My GG Grandmother was ELIZABETH OLVER born 1834 St. Martins, Looe, Cornwall, and she married my GG Grandfather THOMAS DAWEin 1855 in Morval.
Her father was WILLIAM OLVER (b 1809), Schoolmaster & mother MARIA HAMBLEY. We think both her parents were dead by 1841, they do not appear on that census and she was living (with her two brothers) with her grandparents, JOHN OLVER (b 1774)and his wife ELIZABETH MORESHEAD (b 1778), farmers at Corgorlin, Morval, Cornwall.
I would like to know more about Maria Hambley and my Cornish Olver roots, and will be happy to share information

I am trying to trace desendants of Leslie Frederick Olver, born 12th August 1903 in Tideford, Cornwall and who emigrated from Scotland to the United States in the 1920s.
He lived and worked in Chicago for a while, but then moved to Arizona where he died in 1988 in Pima County. I believe he had a son, also named Leslie who may now be in Texas. I also undertsand that there is a grandson named Marty but have not yet been able to get any further information.
Laura Serghe (Dec 08)
I am trying to find out more about the Olver side of my family and also the origin of the name Olver. I am assuming from what I have read on your site that it is of Cornish origin? It sounds very similar to Olivier...Could it be french?
The Olver name is from my father's side of the family. His mother was called Laura Norker, her father was George Norker and her mother was Laura Anne Olver (born in 1888 in Kirkdale, Liverpool) Her father was called either William A Olver or William H Olver born approx 1866. I believe he was also born in Liverpool. He was married to someone called Elizabeth but I have no maiden name. I would love to trace the Olver family further down the line.If you have any info that may be of help, I would be so grateful

Douglas Mark OLVER. (March 07)
Born in Toronto Canada .My father was William C. OLVER. Born in Toronto Canada in July 1919.
My grandfather was Walter OLVER . Born in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, England in March 1894. Immigrated to Toronto Canada in 1915.
My grandfather's father was Richard OLVER who married Jane Bowden, I think in the 1870s. Both are burried in the Lostwithiel cemetary.
My grandfather, Walter OLVER had a few older siblings named William OLVER, Annie OLVER, and Bess OLVER. All three were born in the early 1890s (Bess)
and 1880s (Annie and Bill)I believe Richard OLVER (my great grandfather) also had a brother named Walter OLVER who would have been born in the mid 1880s (1850s) as well.
This Great, Great Uncle of mine (Walter) had a son named Leonard OLVER, who was born in the 1890s and immigrated to Canada after the first World War.
He resided in Nova Scotia.Apparently these two brothers had a father named John OLVER who was born in the early 1800s.

Henry Oliver (b abt 1821) whose father was William - married 1 Harriet and had issue Emma and Henry. After Harriet's death Henry Oliver re-married Sarah Singyard (widow) nee Solman they also had numerous issue including Sidney Thomas Oliver (b abt 1877 d 1962) who married Alice Frances Sears.

I am an 'Olver' by birth and have family in Kent and Shropshire
My birth name was Jean Otten. I was called Jeanne from a young age. Anyway, Alice Elizabeth Olver was my G.G. grandmother. She married Andrew
Jackson Faatz my G.G. Grandfather. I know that she died at a very young age, 21 to be exact and my G.G. Grandfather remarried. I wondered how
she died and any stories that may have survived about her and my Olver family. Also, if anyone has any pictures of the the Olver line I would
love to have copies. I have one copy of a picture of Alice and also one of my G.G. Grandfather Andrew Faatz in his union uniform. If anyone has
any info or pictures and are willing to share them I would greatly appreciate it. I am also willing to share any pictures or information
that I have. I am planning a trip next year to Honesdale and will be bringing my son. I am interested in the location of the Old Glass
Factory and the cemetery there. This is where a lot of my family is buried and I understand that the stones are quickly deteriorating. I
would like to see them and show my son where his ancestors lived.
Thanking you in advance from the beautiful foothills of California.
I am Carrie Leanne Olver daughter of Gerald Fergus Olver along with Kellie Lee Olver daughter of Thomas Edward Olver.
We are two generations of Olver's who are seeking any information you may have.
Our lineage steams from England in the early 1900's it was an Olver/Audy marriage. They settled in Rose, Sask. Canada. Can you help us?
FYI....

Kellie Lee Olver born High Prairie, Alberta 1960
We both currently reside in Toronto as do many on your list.
What a super site! I'm looking for a John Olver who was the father of Elizabeth, bapt. 3rd June, 1649; I think her mother was Alice, but I've already tried 'Alice Olver' on your site.
The above Elizabeth married John Hicks/Hix in 1687 in Morval.
Two generations later, Susannah Hicks married John Wadling at St. Germans in1787. Their grandaughter, Jane Wadling, married John Roberts at Stoke Damerel in 1847. They were my great-great-grandparents.
I do not know if you can be of any assistance to me at all. I am trying to find details re my ancestors John (middle name possibly Hodge) Olver a labourer and his wife Rebecca (maiden name unknown). John died of Dropsy at Bere alston on 12th February 1841 at the age of 80 years old. His wife Rebecca died of pulmonary apoplexy at Bere alston on 20th June 1854 also aged 80. Their son Thomas Hodge Olver was born St Martin by Looe Cornwall on 24th December 1798, he married Mary ann strike of Bere ferrers Devon. He emigrated to Daylesford Australia with only some of his family in 1858/59 and his wife Mary died on 20th June 1854. she did not migrate. He then married a widow named Jane Trewhala nee Robins at Plymouth at age 55. She joined him later in Australia in 1862 and they settled in Hepburn victoria australia. She died in 1866 and he lived the rest of his life a widower. He had 7 children, only 3 of them immigrated with him. those who went with him were Thomas Hodge Olver jr, William Olver and later Samuel Hodge Olver. Those who remained were Rebecca Olver, Betsy Olver, Richard Olver (died at young age) and John strike Olver. I do not know what happened to those who remained and would like to try and find more details. If there is any connection to your family of Olvers I would love to know. If not perhaps you could suggest some starting points I could try.
I have a 2C3R, Eliza RAPSON , who married Rev Richard OLVER in Stoke Dameral in 1868.
I also have these notes from a genie cousin:- According to Census Records all children were born in various parts of England.Edith Adelene Olver Born 1870 at Liskeard
Alfred Olver Born March 1871 at Canterbury, Kent.
Richard Olver Born 1873 at Delleigham, Norfolk.
Ernest Olver Born September 1875 at Liskeard.
Edwin Olver Born 1879 at Buckfastleigh, Devon.
Lottie Olver Born 1880 at Brixham, Devon. She married Manus Hayes either in U.K or South Africa, so we assume that she is the daughter that Eliza
lived with after Richard's death.
I haven't explored this family, but it might be of interest to someone.
I'm chasing an Elizabeth Olver who married Samuel Henry Webster in 1886 and they moved to Belfast, N. Ireland. Their daughter (my grand mother),
Elizabeth Webster, later married Harry Sexton and migrated to Australia in 1921. I'd be grateful for any information.

Back in the 1880's Edward Olver was the postmaster at Ashburn, Ontario. Edward is buried in the Burns Presbyterian Church Cemetery a couple of blocks from the country store where he distributed mail.

I am desperate for information on Gummoe. All I know is that my father was John Corwin Gummoe, born 1901 in Indianapolis, Indiana USA and that his father, also named John, I am told was born in Cornwall, England. His mothers' name was supposed to have been Addie. I suppose my grandfather must have immigrated to America in the late 1800's. I am at a loss as to where to go from here to find out more about the English Gummoes.
I have most of this information from a John Gummoe in Webster, N.Y. His father is a Neil Gummoe and wife Jane. Neil's father was Friend Gummoe and Crystal Cook. Friends's father was William T. Gummoe and Verna Gager. This line goes back to Samuel Gummoe and Elizabeth Ann Huddy. Samuel and Elizabeth had William T. Gummoe and Thomas who were brothers; Thomas b. 1873 and William b. 1864. Therein lies the connection, and I'm connected but my line went off differently. Both lines go back even further to a Richard Gummoe and Jane/Jenefer Webb. I could explain it all, but the best thing you can do is go to Gencircles.com where you will find all of my GUMMOE data that I have so far. It's a great site......and it's FREE, unlike Ancestry.com that charges for everything. I highly recommend this site.

I am descended from the Pulis (Pullis), Niles, and Nelson families. Conrad Pullis m. Elizabeth Nelson in New York City. Our family history states that she was born in England (perhaps Cornwall) of her mother's second marriage. Elizabeth had two brothers who fought for the Crown during the American Revolutionary War. Conrad was perhaps born in Holland. We are still searching for their European Roots. Their son, Aaron Pulis, m. Ann Olver who was born in Cornwall, daughter of William Olver and Anna Bryant. The family lived in Wayne County Pennsylvania, and can be found on the 1840 Census in Berlin Township, and 1850 in Lebanon Township. By 1860 they had emigrated to Iowa, where they are found on the 1860 and 1870 Census in College Township, Linn County, Iowa. Other family members moved to Iowa (area of Cedar Rapids) also. Among these people were the William Olver family, the Henry Niles family (husband of Catherine Pulis), and later another Cornwall relative, Elizabeth Arthur Churchill (widow of Henry Niles' son) lived there as well. Members of this family were buried at Baker Cemetery in the cornfields just south of Cedar Rapids. Other "Olver" names can be found on markers at Cory Grove Cemetery, Sac City, Iowa where other Niles descendants farmed.

Thomas OLVER. He is the father of Richard OLVER, 28, Mariner on the HMS Indus at time of marriage to Fanny Martha CREEPER, 27, residing at 9 Brunswick Terrace on 26 November 1866; Parish Church, St. Andrews, Plymouth. I have Richard born abt. 1840 in Devonport.
There is a section on OLVERs from St Stephens. www.btinternet.com/~clive.pinch
My Olver ancestors originated in Ontario, Canada circa 1830's and before that in Cornwall, England.
The one in my pedigree, the Rev H.V. Olver was definitely the one born in Launceston in 1790. In the 1871 census for Bristol, where he later died, he gives his age as 80 and his place of birth as Launceston. I guess he was related to the others somehow. I am afraid I have no clues to the connection with the Vyvyan family. Mary Bone was the daughter of Jacob Bone, and was baptised at St Mary M, Launceston on 6 May 1754, but there is no record of a marriage to a Henry Olver. But an H.V.Olver did marry a Mary Deggery in the same church in 1782, so a second marriage could be the explanation. HV also had two sisters baptised at St Mary M, Mary 1783 and Judith 1788. The only Samuel Olver I can find was married in Maker in 1751.

I was told by my cousin, Eleanor Knoll Smith, that our grandmother's sister ("Aunt Netty") married a Tom Olver and settled in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. My grandmother's name was Francis Budd Knoll, so I assume that Netty Budd Olver would have been her sister. I was stunned (and pleased) to see the name of Francis Budd Knoll on your web site. She is my grandmother on my father's side. I was doing a web search to try to determine her date of birth. I believe the year was 1974, but I don't have the day and month.
Would you perchance have a birth date for Francis Budd Knoll?

Found a scrap of paper while going through an old box. I had found a similar piece of paper earlier which yeilded great results up my PENN/BOWSER line. I think my mom was taking notes from my grandmother over the phone when I was doing mini-research when I was in Elem. School at the time of Roots. The names on here are likely all ancestors of Daniel Olver DAVIS. The areas I know are significant are Allegheney, Westmoreland, Armstrong Counties PA. Also possibly Stark Co, OH; somewhere in Northeast PA. Cardiff Wales referenced on the paper Beech Pond (Place? Name?) John Olver Sarah (or Susan) AUNGER 1793-1880 (or 1886) Tom? SPRY Elizabeth SPRY 1855 (birthdate? wedding date?) looks like she married Daniel ________ 1829-1910 Anna TAMBLIN 1871-1935 Robert DAVIS, Cardiff Wales Daniel Olver DAVIS Possible inferences from the attempted lines drawn on paper. John OLVER married Sarah AUNGER (1793-1880), they lived in Beech Pond John and Sarah had a dau. named __________ OLVER ________ OLVER married Tom SPRY Tom and _________ had a dau. named Elizabeth SPRY Elizabeth SPRY married in 1855 Daniel _________ (1829-1910) Elizabeth and Daniel had a dau (or granddaughter) Anna TAMBLIN (1871-1935) Anna married Robert DAVIS of Cardiff, Wales Anna and Robert had a son Daniel Olver DAVIS Daniel Olver DAVIS (August 18, 1902-July 17, 1964) was my gGrandfather I have his parents listed as Robert DAVIS and Anne OLVER, but have nothing but annecdotal evidence. Any help or suggestions appreciated.
I am currently back to Richard Olver and his wife Mary (from Tavistock in Devon) both born about 1850. They lived in the area of Menheniot and had two sons, Thomas and Richard. Richard married a Laura Champion from Ludgvan in 1906. Any connections prior to 1854 sought.
