The Family Bible- page three

The internet is a wonderful thing. You can find all manner of records on-line, including all those I've referred to in previous posts. However they only go up to 1900 at the present time, so from now on my family history is increasingly sketchy.

By some strange quirk of history the Hayes family Bible of 1865 is in the possession of the fourth son, of the second son of their fourth child Elizabeth Henrietta Trevaskis Hayes, who married Charles Clemo in 1895.
Here's the third page of the family Bible, which has been filled in to include my cousins.

The bible gives Elizabeth's husband's full name as Reginald Charles, and another Clemo tradition of naming the first son Reginald Charles is set.

Without on-line verification of dates, the history becomes sketchy.
The Bible entry records that Elizabeth and Charles had three boys, namely Reginald Charles, who died in the First World War in 1917; my grandfather Richard James, born in 1898, and his brother Leonard Francis, who was born in 1906/7.

I have been unable to find much information, except that Wilhelmina's death was recorded as:

Anna Wilhelmina Henrietta Frederica Hayes resident at Chenhalls, St Erth
Died 14-Jun 1904 aged 64


Elizabeth Henrietta Trevaskis Clemo merits one more entry- that of her death:

Elizabeth Henryetta Trevaskis Clemo resident at County Lunatic Asylum, Bodinar? Died 22-Oct 1917 age 46

The transcriber put a question mark against the location which is actually Bodmin.
