This family record compiled to assist familytreecircles member Champs
looking for William CHAMPION, born Cornwall 1850, to parents
Isaac CHAMPION and Elizabeth TREVORROW.
William CHAMPION and Adelaide NANKERVIS.
William and Adelaide's birth places given as Cornwall.
Year married: 1875.
Place: Victoria, Australia.
William died 1929 in Newtown, Victoria, aged 79 years.
Parents named as Isaac CHAMPION and Elizabeth TREVERON.
I expect TREVERON should be TREVORROW.
Adelaide died 1931 in Newtown, Victoria, aged 74 years.
Parents named as James NANKERVIS and Sarah TREMBATH.
Note. Adelaide's birth place given as Cornwall, but unable to locate a baptism for her under that name.
See comments below from SilverVixen regarding Adelaide's baptism.
Adelaide's parents may be James NEKERVIS (sic) and Sarah TREMBATH married in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall, on the 31 October 1835. The name NANKERVIS appears under various spellings in the Cornwall records.
Two children located Victorian records for William and Adelaide.

tonkin on 2012-12-06 00:38:21Interesting.
Here are two more children baptised tp James and Sarah NANKERVIS.
Alice NANKERVIS.
Baptised 17 July 1856, Pendeen, Cornwall.
Obedaih Trembath NANKERVIS.
Baptised 17 July 1856, Pendeen, Cornwall.
It's possible Alice and Obedaih were twins.
I'm wondering if the Adelaide Trembath NANKERVIS mentioned by the Cornwall Family History Society is one of the above.
Thanks for the good oil SilverVixen. You have been busy.
Cheers.
SilverVixen on 2012-12-06 07:48:21As far as I can see Alice and Adelaide are listed separately for the baptism. It is possible there were twins but also that they just saved all the children up and had one christening for all of them, the only way to tell is to get birth dates :
Birth record for Adelaide Trembath : Penzance, Cornwall, 1856 Q2 5C 376
The only info I can find on Obediah is his baptism which you already have, my information just adds his father is a miner and their residence is Boscaswell
I do have a record for a birth
