Colenso Mystery 3

 

 

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.

Thank you to Ann Collins
for solving the Thomas Calenzo mystery...

After some juggling Thomas is thought to be the son of James Colenso and Margaret Topp.

He was born in Uny Lelant 1611,
married Katherine Trewheela 1638 in Madron,
died in 1653 and is buried at St Buryan.
