My great-great-great Grandfather Sidney Corp followed Elizabeth Arnold and her family over to Ohio, and Sidney & Elizabeth were married soon after, then moved to Minnesota. We didn't have any info on the family Sidney left in England until I found 10 year old Sidney in a 1841 census (Somerset), so we now have the names of family members (father: Edward, mother: Ann, brothers: Henry, William, and Simon). Since I only have info on Sidney's branch of the family tree, wondering if any one out there has info on the rest of the family. Thank you.

I do not have much information on the Corp family, but Sidney had 3 brothers, Henry, Simon and William. Henry (no spring chicken)married Elizabeth Hoskins (no spring chicken)in 1872 in Newport South Wales - they had no children. As you know his father was Edward and His mother was Ann Hill (I think) I am trying to find out more and if I do I will let you know. The Corp family are tied up with my ancestors somehow - I understand they may be cousins but I cannot find a tie up yet. Monthmouthshire and Somerset are the two locations.Hope this helps.

Thank you for confirming Henry's marriage. Why do you think our ancestors are related? What family names do you have from that era? As I stated in my original message, I have the family info from Sidney after he moved to the US around 1850, but would like info on the rest of his family he left in England. I'm going to be in England later this month and any information or pointers you can give me for getting more information would be appreciated. Thank you. Rhonda

Thanks for the reply. I was told my aunt(still alive 92) that the Corp family were cousins, my greatgrandmother stayed with them in Somerset in 1881 after the death of her first husband. I have tried linking them but no joy so far. Names - Hoskins, Fifoots - all based in Somerset and Monmouthshire, S. Wales and Glamorgan, S Wales. I will sort out the information I have and let you have it. Hope weather improves for your visit here! Will be in contact v.soon.

Regards Gaynor

My great great grandfather came form West Pennard, Somerset, Eng. His father was Robert born 1789. Would like to correspond with any who are part of Roberts family. There were at least 14 children from 2 mothers.

Hello. Came across your 2008 posting. My grandfather George Corp ran away from Shepton Mallet in Somerset to London probably around 1880 or so. I know he was 11 yrs old at the time. He died in the late 1950's just before his 90th birthday. His parents were George and Fanny Corp I believe. His son Frank was my father. My family emigrated to the US in 1962. There is also a Corp connection to Stoke Fleming in southern England. There is a small ancient church there with a tomb in the floor of John Corp and his granddaughter Eleanore (dated 1354). From what I've been able to discover, the Corp family owned quite a bit of land around the Devon area and in the 1400's sold some to the City of Dartmouth. There are a few Corp artifacts in the Dartmouth Museum.
