Square eyes

I've spent much of the last week gazing at my computer and scrolling through lists on names for traces of the Clemo side of the family. After a lot of searching and a little help from the online parish clerk I managed to trace back to 1841.
In 1841 a John Clemow was a 25 year old stone mason, boarding with a mariner's family in Newquay. In 1843 he married Elizabeth Glanville and had four children. The oldest was William and he became a Master mariner based in Hayle. His younger brother Charles was also a sailor and lived in Hayle. The brothers both married- to Elizabeth and Annie Champion who were sisters. Charles and Annie's eldest son was Charles, and he married Elizabeth H T Hayes in 1895. Elizabeth told the church registrar she was 24, but was in fact 28, 5 years older than her husband.
Harveys was the main employer in Hayle and they were in trouble with falling orders and the beginnings of union power. The manufacturing side of the company was put up for sale in 1894 but there were no takers. It finally closed for good in 1904, putting 500 men out of work.

Charles and Elizabeth had already left for Devonport, where Charles enlisted in the Royal Navy
