Martha Carbis's parents and family of Origin
On Martha Bassett nee Carbis Australian death certificate it states that her father's name was Richard Carbis and her Mother was Ann unknown. Her father was a Mariner according to the death certificate. Martha married John Bassett in 1812 in Paul, Cornwall.
As death certificates are not a reliable source of information, John Carbis (from the U.K) who runs the One Name Society Data for Carbis World Wide, was contacted as another possible source of information. He had in his possession the Marriage Banns entry for John Bassett and Martha Carbis of Paul Parish. On inspection of the Banns entry it was discovered that one of the witnesses on the Banns was a Daniel Drew.
Further research was then conducted to try and find a Carbis family whose mother's maiden name was Drew. When searching the IGI I used the First name of Ann married to a man with the surname Carbis to look for possible children. Eventually I found a William Carbis who had married an Ann Drew who had amongst their children a Martha Carbis who had the same year of birth as my 3xgreatgrandmother.
William Carbis and Ann Drew had six children
i Ann Drew CARBIS (1784- )
ii.Jane CARBIS (1786- )
iii.William CARBIS (1789- )
iv.Martha CARBENCE (1792- )
v.Martha CARBIS (Cir 1793-1882) (my 3xgreatgrandmother)
vi.Richard CARBIS (1797- )
The idea that my 3xgreatgrandmother Martha's father was William Carbis rather than Richard Carbis is supported by the following 3 points:
1. The change of her fathers christain name was an attempt to hide family Convict connections.
A family story through the generations was that one of the early Bassett brothers (which generation this concerned was not clear) was charged for horse stealing in Cornwall but managed to escaped to France/America and was never caught. Following this lead led us to look for some evidence of criminal activity.
In an article that appeared in the "The West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser" and another article on the 7th April 1815 in the "Royal Gazette" on the 22nd April 1815 it appears that William Carbis Martha's father was involved in sheep stealing in 1813.
"William Carbis, sen. William Carbis jun. and Francis Bassett, a father, son and son-in-law, were indicted for stealing two ewe sheep belonging to Miss Borlase, of Madron, in December 1812"
"The bill" was found by the Grand Jury in the Crown Bar durring the Lent Assizes in 1813. However the proceedings were suspended.as the all the accused had absconded. According to a report in the "West Briton & Cornwall Advertiser", when the constables went to arrest them they were unable to execute their warrants, as all three men had gone to sea.
The real story turned out to be much more interesting than the family ledgend after all.
Based on the newspaper story we were able to to link Martha together with her family as demonstrated below
William Carbis (in the newspaper refered as William Carbis sen.) who had six children with his wife Ann Drew
i .Ann Drew CARBIS (1784- ) who married Francis Bassett brother of the husband of his sister John Bassett (in the newspaper refered to William Carbis's son-in-law)
ii. Jane CARBIS (1786- )
iii.William CARBIS (1789- ) (in the newspaper refered to William Carbis's son-in-law)
iv.Martha CARBENCE (1792- )
v. Martha CARBIS (Cir 1793-1882) - my Martha Carbis who married John Bassett brother of Francis
vi. Richard CARBIS (1797- )
This probably wasn't the father's first fray into criminal acitivity (as Martha got married 9 months before this event took place) and perhaps the shame was so great for Martha that she changed her father's name using her youngest brother's first name so she wouldn't forget the "white lie". The white lie helped to distance herself from her father's misdeeds(?). Once in Australia people were unaware of her families criminal and convict connections and only a vague tale of horse theft remained atributed to no-one in particular as a small reminder of what had been left behind.
2. Naming Patterns of the times as explained below were common practice between 1700 and 1875. Both the Carbis and Bassett families seem to have used them as evidenced by certain names recurring down through the generations. Using these patterns working back from the children of John Bassett and Martha Carbis it is quite possible that Martha's fathers name is William Bassett.
Naming Patterns 1700-1875
The first Son was named after the father's father (Martha's oldest son is John)
Second son named after mother's father (Martha's second son is William)
Third son named after the father
Fourth son named after father's eldest brother
First daughter named after mother's mother
Second daughter named after father's mother
Third daughter named after mother
Fourth daughter named after mother's eldest sister
Exceptions to the pattern occur when the naming system produced a duplication of names.
In that case ,the name was taken from the next on the list.
Another break in the pattern could be caused by a death.
If a child died in infancy, then the parents would name the subsequent new born the same name
Taken from: Tracing your Origins. By Angus Baxter.
3. The informant for the death certificate was not a family member, and would not have knowledge of the background of Martha Bassett nee Carbis.
Based on the above evidence I have come to the conclusion that Martha's parents were most likely William Carbis and Ann Drew of the Paul Parish, Cornwall.
Pre 1820 John Bassett and Martha Carbis's life together
The first firm record that we have of John Bassett and Martha Carbis living in Cornwall is their marriage Banns. The marrage that took place in the Paul parish church on the 15 Mar 1812. Both appear to be of the Paul parish "John Bassett Sojouner of this Parish and Martha Carbis of this Parish"
It is most likely that at least Martha was christened in the Paul parish church as it was the custom of the day that marriages took place in the brides's church. This assumption is reinforced by the 1851 & 1861 census returns where Paul is listed as Martha's birthplace.
In the same census returns John was listed as being born in Madron,a neighbouring parish of Paul.
We also know from their eldest son William's christening record that the new family moved and was living in the St Hilary parish in a tenement called Roseudgeon. The next time we find the family they have moved out of the area to Breage (by 1820), perhaps to seek work
in the mines there.

Plotting where the the couple lived before they came out to Australia
Parish of Paul
The first firm record that we have of my 3x great grandparents, John Bassett and Martha Carbis, in Cornwall is their marriage Banns, which took place in the Paul parish church on the 15 Mar 1812. Both appear to be of the Paul parish "John Bassett Sojouner of this Parish and Martha Carbis of this Parish"
It is most likely that at least Martha was christened in the Paul parish church as it was the custom of the day that marriages took place in the brides's church. This assumption is reinforced by the 1851 & 1861 census returns where Paul is listed as Martha's birthplace.
In the same census returns John is listed as being born in Madron,a neighbouring parish of Paul north of Madron.
Description of the parish area
The parish of Paul is bounded on the north by Madron, on the east by Mount's Bay, on the south by St Buryan, and on the west by St Buryan and Sancreed. It is located south of the fishing port of Newlyn, and contains the small village of Paul with its fishing port of Mousehole, (pronounced Mowzel), which was originally called Port Ennis.
On Martha's death certificate her birth place was listed as Mousehole. Martha's father was said to be a fisherman (according to The West Briton and Cornwall Adverister, 1815 "…. sea-faring men,…") which is also consistant with her living in Mousehole.
Parish of St Hilary
We know that their first born, John, arrived In 1814, we have not yet been able to locate where he was christened however we do know that he died in 1815 at the age of one and was buried in St Hillary. It would appear soon after that another son was born in 1816, their second child William, he is christened in St Hilary at the time the family were living in a tenement called Rosedown.
St Hilary is 6.1 miles (9.8) East by North East of Paul
Description of the parish area
St Hilary is bounded on the north by the parish of St Erth, on the east by Breage and Germoe, on the south by Perranuthnoe and the sea, and on the west by Ludgvan.
This former little mining village of granite cottages lies north-east of Marazion. Like other mining areas in the past it became notorious for drunkeness and unruly behaviour.

Parish church
A list of John & Martha's children who were christened in this church were:-
William 1816. at a private ceremony which might indicate ????? (Transcribed PR Marsha)
Where they lived in the St Hilary parish
When William their second eldest son was born the abode listed in the church records was Rosedown. Rosedown was 14 miles NE of Paul call Rosedown Farm.
The next time we find the family they have moved out of the area to Breage (by 1820), perhaps to seek work in the mines there.
Parish of Breage
Between 1820 and 1833 Martha and John lived in Troon Tanner which was tenement in Breage. During this period the following children were born John (1820), Franics (1823), Anne (1828), Martha (1828), James (1833) who was also buriied the same year, James (1834). It is not until Samuels birth that the family appear to have moved again.
Breage is 9.3 miles (15 km) East of Paul
Description of the parish area
Originally called St Breock-in-Kirrier (Kerrier), St Breaca or St Briack, the parish is now just called 'Breage'. Breage is bounded on the north by Crowan, on the east by Sithney, on the west by St Hilary and Germoe, and on the south by the sea.
Parish Churchs
The Germoe Church
Germoe has been considered as a separate parish for many years, but the Church has been subordinate to that of Breage. It is located in the far south-west of Cornwall, sandwiched between the parishes of Godolphin and Breage. This was eminently a mining parish, but it also had some good farms. Originally, the houses and shops were built to satisfy the needs of miners digging for tin and china clay

John 1820 (IGI)
Francis 1823 (IGI)
Anne 1826 (IGI)

Parish of Gwinear
Gwinear is 10.2 miles (16.4km) North East of Paul
Description of the parish area
The parish of Gwinear To the north is the parish of Gwithian with Camborne also in the north going around to the east. Crowan is to the east going around to the south of Gwinear Parish, with St. Erth and Phillack both lying to the west. This parish lies on high ground south-west of Camborne and is composed of scattered farms and houses. Silver and copper mines and related industries were important in the past, but as elsewhere in Cornwall these have now declined. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Rosewarne and Herland mines produced silver, whilst Wheal Alfred and Wheal Relistian produced copper. In those days, the parish was a thriving mining community and one of the first steam engines ever to be built was installed at the Herland mine in 1758.

Emmigrated to Australia
Shortly after the family was located in the 1861 they immigrate to Australia on the SS Great Britian on 19 Oct 1861
(Research): Has anyone been able to find the record of the baptism of Martha Carbis born Cir 1793-1794 possibly in the villiage of Mousehole? (I think my original conclusions were drawn from a gedcom that someone had sent me which I'm only just trying now to verify.)
