CORNISH ANCESTORS
THE OATEY/OTHEY STORY - PETER OTHEY (c.1664)
Peter Othy married Emblom James (1664) on July 8, 1685 in St. Erth, Cornwall.

PART ONE - CHARLES OTHEY (1687)
He was baptised on August 21, 1687 at St Erth, Cornwall
He married Honour (surname ?, possibly Colesoe).

PART TWO - PETER OATEY (1689)
He was baptised on October 20th, 1689 in St. Erth Cornwall,
married Jane Wearn/Benetts (1695) and had nine children:
Charles died in 1742.
HIS WILL was written
c.4?-Jun 1742 and mentions his wife Honour,
daughters Mary, Honour
(both unmarried in 1742),
sons Charles (1719)
and Peter (1727),
and curiously a younger son William (aged less than 21).

The Will also mentions his brother Peter (1689) and brother-in-law John Colensoe
It is probable that
John COLENSO was
Honour's brother
as there are no Colenso names in our family.

WILL witnesses - Nicholas Honey, Mary Oatie, Willn Struckland Junr.
It is possible that this Mary Oatie was his sister (1701).
This Mary married John Thomas in 1726
and was known as
Mary Thomas when
Charles died in 1742.

CHARLES OTHEY (1687) married Honour (surname ?, possibly Colensoe).
Their children:
Charles (b.1719), Mary (b.1721), Mary (b.1723),
Honor (b.1723), Honour (b.1726) and Peter (b.1727)
It seems likely that they moved to Gwinear soon after their marriage as their eldest son Charles was born on September 13th Sep 1719

CHARLES OATIE (1719) married Elizabeth Heniely on Nov.12, 1743 at Crowan, Cornwall
Their children - all born OATIE:
Elizabeth (1744-), Charles (1746-), Elizabeth (1748-),
Peter (1750-), William (1754-), Peter (1757-), Mary (1760-)


Mary OATIE (1721-) was christened on December 8th, 1721 Gwinear, Cornwall.
It's likely she died young as another Mary was born in 1723 to Charles and Honour Oatie.

Mary OATIE (1723-) married Peter Hamel on Jan 6, 1743

Honor OATIE (1723-) was christened on February 15th, 1723 Gwinear, Cornwall.
We believe she died pre 1726

Honour OATIE (1726-) was christened on July 9th, 1726 Gwinear, Cornwall.
He was unmarried in 1742, the year his father died.
Peter OATIE (b.1727) was christened on January 1st, 1727 Gwinear, Cornwall.
He married Mary Vincent (b <1733) on October 17, 1756 Gwinear, Cornwall
(IGI says married October 2, 1756)
Their children (OATEY): Honour (1757), Peter (1760), Mary (1763), Martha (1765),
Honour (1769), Charles (1772), Samuel (1775-)
