Has anyone run across the BOLITHO/BOLITHOE surname while researching
Cornish records?
I am particularly interested in the John Bolitho who married 22 April
1605 at Helston to Christiana Passmore. I have seen the 1620
Visitation that gives his father as William Bolitho. Can anyone shed
light on this family's prior generations?
Thanks in advance!

I have BOLITHO in the Ruan Major area in the period 1790-1900. However, I
can't help with your earlier dates.

Re: Bolitho of Helston, Cornwall
William Bolitho was co-editor of "The Parish Registers of Gulval
....(1598-1812), published at Penzance, 1893. As he was, presumably,
interested in genealogy, there may be mileage in following his various
writings. Also, do not overlook Burke's Landed Gentry, 5th, 6th, 7th and
8th editions .

I don't see how the above is so different from what Douglas does.
Shouldn't someone be flying into a snit right about now?

At least you are aware that something is going on. Let's go through
what CED wrote on the 15th October. His posting started with this
quotation:
What is the difference between DR's posting and that from John Townsend?
John recommended us to have a look at certain books. He did not say
that he had them in stock nor did he invite us to contact him for them.
We could, easily and as I do for many recommendations on this newsgroup,
print the note and use it to find the books in a library, in my case
almost invariably the library of the Society of Genealogists in London
(there's a plug for you but it is a charity). At the end of his note
JT added some details which should by the old customs have been part of
a formal 'sig' and been separated off by the convention of two dashes
and a space (as you can see below in this note). There is a long
understanding that you can put more or less whatever you want in a sig
provided it is not more than four lines long.
On the other hand DR's post contained a very explicit invitation to
purchase his book and gave instructions to contract him to do so.
Definite money-grubbing I would say and I agree with anyone that it is
contrary to the charter of this newsgroup, recently explained to us by
Todd Farmerie.
But this brash hawking of wares like a barrow-boy on the street is not
the way that scholars are expected to operate. They are expected to
show that their main interest is in scholarship and not in making a tidy
penny. Perhaps it is different on the other side of the Atlantic,
though TAF's comments do not seem different to me.
I trust that this explains how there really is a difference between the
two styles of postings.
And if you really want to see what is in the S of G's library, I have
already said that the catalogue is visible on:
http://www.sog.org.uk/sogcat/access/
I still can't get over how useful it is!

Dear Newsgroup ~
The Gascoigne-Neville pedigree that Will Johnson has set forth is
actually quite sound. This descent is covered in depth by my book,
Magna Carta Ancestry (2005), pp. 364-366, a copy of which information
is presented below. For those interested in obtaining a copy of the
Magna Carta Ancestry book, please contact me privately.
To the newsgroup:
This posting by Richardson is in flagrant violation of netiquette, as
is obvious from the definition set out below. If we had a moderated
