"The French Connection"

#58---COWDREY
NOTE
- spelling of the name
continued at #54

Around 1572 in France, the Family were being persecuted for their religion
They were of the Protestant faith known as "Huguenots"

They escaped by boat down the River Seine in the middle of the night, setting course for England
Their first port of call could have been the Isle of Wight

Eventually, around 1753, they finally settled in Birmingham Warwickshire England and before then they were in the Hampshire Area
There is a chart showing the various areas where the Coudrey families lived between 1587 and 1788, which Walter Knowles compiled in 1996

The Coudrey name as spelt today, but back in the "Old Days" it was spelt Cowdrey / Cawdrey / Cowderoy / Cowry
All these spellings were recorded in England from 1587 to 1788

which explains why the Coudrey Family moved from France to England

"In the Beginning"

#57---PENBERTHI continued at #55

Part One

On the west coast of Cornwall, in the West Penwith area, not more than a few miles from Porthcurno, there lies in a valley, a picturesque hamlet called Penberth, comprising of a small number of cottages and a natural harbour which protects it from the rough seas of the Land's End peninsula

There is no documentary evidence to link the family and the hamlet, but I think there is more than a reasonable chance that such a connection would have existed

Part Two

There was also a Reverend Penberthi in charge of the Church of St Erth from 1455 to 1460
Could he also have been a relation ?

Joseph William Coudrey and Emily Louisa Hill

Joseph was born in 1843 in Walsall Staffordshire England and Emily was born in 1845

In January 1872 the family were living at 11 Albert Street Walsall Staffordshire England

He had been owner of a pig-iron foundry in Staffordshire but, with a slump in the industry migrated to Adelaide bringing his wife, family and in-laws with him

The group included Kate Hill, sister of Coudrey's wife Emily Louisa, nee Hill
Orphaned early Kate lived with the Coudreys
Alice Tibbits, her friend, also emigrated, the pair becoming authorities in the training of nurses and hospital management

At the time of Charles' marriage in June 1902, Joseph was employed as a clerk and they were living in Broken Hill New South Wales Australia----NOTE - this is probably incorrect ... refer to the details of Joseph and his Family's lives on THIS page
