Sancreed Graveyard  
Grace Hosken

Grace Hosken

Description : Sacred
to
the memory of
Grace, daughter of
Gabriel & Grace Hosken,
who died April 4th,
1860,
Aged 28 Years.
From: Miss Dee (Tue Sep 21 08:24:42 2004)
Grace posted Banns to marry with John Henry TRESISE on 17 October 1801. Given this inscription, it would appear the marriage may not have taken place and she died a spinster.

Presumable this is the grave for Grace Wallis Hosken ... who I see christened thus in Sancreed:
Grace Wallis HOSKING dau of Gabriel & Grace, 25th. February, 1832 Miner.

And in the Sancreed Banns:
19 Sep 1852
James Henry Tresise
Grace Wallis Hosken
From: Administrator (mark@hattam.co.uk) (Thu Sep 23 20:56:21 2004)
And FreeBMD shows
Marriages Dec 1852
Hosken  Grace Wallis    Penzance  5c 587  
Trezise  James Henry    Penzance  5c 587

Notice that the inscription doesn't put a surname for Grace for whatever reason. Just that she's the daughter of Gabriel & Grace Hosken.

Yes, I must have had a "blonde" moment with the date of posting of banns. 1852 is correct.

How embarrassment!!!!

My GGGrandfather was John Wallis Hosken (aka John Wallace), son of Grace Wallis and Gabriel Hosken of Cornwall. I think this must be his sister's grave.
From: Richard Wallace G Grandson of John W Hosken (Sat Oct 15 08:12:17 2005)
This is most certainly the sister of John Wallis Hosken (aka John Wallace)
