John son of Johnson Carpenter of Illogan High-way, miner, and Elizabeth (baptismal record)

-------------------------------

In 1841 John Carpenter, aged 23, born in the county, miner, and wife Catherine, aged 23, were living in Highway, Illogan, Cornwall. With them were daughters Elizabeth (2) and Maria (6 months). John's cousin Lucy Rogers and her family were living nextdoor.

-------------------------------

John and Catherine's youngest child, Anne, was born in December 1849. John was dead by the time of the 1851 England Census, when Catherine indicated that she was a widow. No record has been found of John's death / burial during this period. One possibility is that he went abroad on a mining venture but died shortly thereafter. However, this remains speculative.
