Cornish Emigrants - new free space page

Question

The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Team have created a free space page where you can list your ancestors (or profiles under your care) who emigrated to another country. 

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:England_Cornwall_County_Team 

If you are not comfortable making entries please put the Wiki ID in the public comment space - a team member will complete.

The table is sortable on Surname or Country

We also have a Cornwall Notables page

Kind Regards

Roger Davey 

Cornwall Team Captain

PS - just noticed we have no profiles on the Australian table for Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia

Answer 1

Great idea, Roger. I've added my ancestor, but seem to have messed up the table.

Comments

Looks ok to me Laurie - cheers Roger

Answer 2

Great page, Roger. I've added one of mine. Will keep adding as I come across others.

Thankyou Sally

Answer 3

Please add Woolcock-106 to your Notables Page. (I’m not great at tables and don’t want to muck it up.)

All done Fiona - love the profile & the background of Cornwall flags - where did you get that.

Cheers Roger

I have no idea. The other profile manager is a whizz with these things. My intro to WikiTree was “gatecrashing” this profile and adding the second marriage. There was much consternation as at that point the evidence was flimsy. Between the two of us, we found the proof, and have had many conversations - WikiTree is all about collaboration after all.

Oh, I thought he might have got on the Notables page. There is a Wikipedia article, though short, as he was a Member of the House of Representatives of New Zealand, equivalent to an MP - but it’s your call.

This pensioner needs to read his emails correctly 

He is now on notables as well

Cheers Roger

Hmm... Fiona, do you think Owlcock might be a variant of Woolcock? That’s one of my Cornish lines.

I would think so, Pip. The name changes to Wilcox with various spelling variations too.

Great idea Roger!

If you don't mind, I'll set up similar pages for Dorset and Wiltshire using much of your text.

Go for it Martin - I will send the invoice later

Looks good! The list was getting long, it's nice to have it divided by country.
