Who was Nich
Collenso?
If the name was difficult
to read it is possible this could be Rich
Collenso.
In any event, the clues as
to his possible identity are
- he was of an age to
sign the oath
and therefore born before
1623
- he signed the oath in
St Ives
Nicholas is a very rare
name among Colenso families.
Nicholas Colenso born 1679
was the son of Thomas Colenso and second
wife Agnies - could he have been named
after our mystery Nich?
Nicholas born 1739 - 1740
was the son of Jonathon Colenso and first
wife Mary Cowling and also grandson of
Nicholas born 1679.
There is not another
Nicholas Colenso born until
1921.

He was born in Uny Lelant

married Katherine Trewheela 1638 in
Madron,
