John Pollard (c1773-1844)

John Pollard was baptised on 25th April 1773 in Sancreed, Cornwall, England. His parents were John and Lydia Pollard (nee Neckerwiz). At this stage, only two siblings for John have been confirmed a brother Christopher and sister Jennifer. It is possible that he also had a brother Joseph, but this is yet to be proven.

Marriage
John married at aged 22 to Jane Hand, who was known by the name of Jenefer. The couple married in Sancreed on 4th July 1795, and witnesses to the marriage were a John Hand (possible relation to Jane) and a Richard Rodda. They were married by Banns but no dates for the Banns are recorded.

The couple settled initially in Sancreed, but then moved to Gwinear by 1797 and had 13 known children there (1 had been born at Sancreed).

Death
John died in the June quarter of 1844, aged 71 years. He was buried on 5th May 1844 at Gwinear. His death certificate is yet to be obtained to determine cause of death. His wife Jane would outlive him by 4 years.
