Charles Neckervis (1707-c1756)

Charles Neckervis was baptised on 23rd February 1707 in St. Just in Penwith, Cornwall, England. His parents were Charles and Jane Neckervis (nee Edwards). Siblings for Charles were Margaret, James, Jane, twins Lydia (died young) and Christopher, and triplets Mary, Martha and Lydia (all died young).

It should be noted that the 'Neckervis' surname is often spelt in a variety of ways in official transcripts. Other spellings of the name include 'Neckerwis', 'Ankerwis', 'Neckerwise' and 'Neckavaries'. The variances appears to be based on the location where the record keeper was based, for example 'Neckerwiz' is used mostly in Madron while 'Neckervis' is used in St. Just in Penwith, and 'Ankerwis' is used in both. The Neckervis surname however does seem to have evolved from the area near St. Just in Penwith, and doesn't appear to have moved far from this area at all until the 19th century. It may initially have been a misinterpretation of someone trying to pronounce the surname 'Nicholas', which is also well used in the same area.

Marriage
Details of Charles' marriage and wife are curently unknown. It is known that he had at least two children, daughters Jane and Lydia, both of whom were baptised in St Just in Penwith.

Death
The death and burial of Charles is also currently unknown, but the most likely probability is a burial that occured in Morvah on 14th June 1756, recorded under the name of 'Chesten Ankervis'. His residence at the time was recorded as St Just in Penwith.
