Thread: Maunder family

I am really struggling to find details of Daniel Maunder b.26/06/1887 and his sister Alrena Maunder b. 04/01/1893, both born at St. Cleer, Cornwall.

They were the chidren of John and Jemima ( Henwood ) Maunder who were married 20/01/1876 at Liskeard.

The only information that I can find after their births is the 1901 census where they are at home with their parents Alrena age 8, and Daniel age 14 and an arsenic miner.

Any help whatsoever would be very much appreciated as I cannot get broadband and even dial up is slow, due to the remoteness of where I live ( Cumbria).

Regards, Ken Staveley.

Hi Ken,



I have gone through the marriages up until 1918 with no luck. Do you think this could be him. He may have lied about his age to get employment.

I cannot read the destination state but if you would like a copy send your email address via PM and I will see what I can do.



There is no Daniel on any of the US census', so may have returned or died over there while young.

This is the person that accompanied Daniel.

Hi Ken,



I have checked through all the images for Sutter Creek (apart from image no 6 on Ancestry which will not open) and Daniel is not there.
