I am a descendant of Townsend and am currently working on that part of my tree.<br />My grandmother was Constance Townsend; her father was Hendrik B Townsend and her great grandfather was Edward J Townsend.<br />My Townsend tree goes like this:<br />Edward J Townsend ->James G Townsend ->Edward J Townsend ->Henrik B Townsend ->Constance Townsend ->Carel Peter Hordijk ->Eleanor Hordijk (married name: Andersen). I've been able to trace Cornelia's family back a bit but haven't found any info on Edward James' parents yet. :/ Anyway, it was cool to come across this blog. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599182055395786784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763505711213653994.post-31936748440714441382015-06-24T08:07:06.137+10:002015-06-24T08:07:06.137+10:00Hi Geoff... just looking this up again.. wow how t...Hi Geoff... just looking this up again.. wow how time flies.

I have a couple of aunts who swear that Helena was half indonesian and that her mother was full blood and she was one of about 14 children... It is amazing how stories from the same family can be so different! I found a Robert Townsend who had an indonesian wife, but nothing about children for them yet.<br />degan2011@att.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763505711213653994.post-38347599979807749292012-02-08T14:52:30.856+10:002012-02-08T14:52:30.856+10:00If you go to http://sites.google.com/site/sumatras...If you go to http://sites.google.com/site/sumatraswestkust/sawah-loento-1880-1900 you can find more info about the Kornman family. <br /><br />Johanna Wilihelmina's mother was not Goe Nio Tjia but Wilhelmina Henrijetta Johanna Knollaert, the second spouse.Geoff_Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018390078532766936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763505711213653994.post-71496053908146131102012-02-08T14:36:11.092+10:002012-02-08T14:36:11.092+10:00Johanna Wilhelmina Kronman's brother was Maxim...Johanna Wilhelmina Kronman's brother was Maximilan Josef Kornman, according to Ron van der Wal's information. If, as you have in another place, Helena Albertine Townsend was born on 2nd June 1898, that fits with the birth of someone of that name in Gunung Sitoli, Nias, that Jeff Circkens has found.

She has only a copy of her mother's birth cert listing a Maximillian Josef Kornman as the "clerk of the controller"(roughly translating the dutch) with Helena and Wilhemus as the parents. I am trying to get a physical copy of that, but it doesn't really help with Helena's origins.<br />Does the Austria link help at all?<br />degan2011@att.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763505711213653994.post-70815678459384076252012-01-19T10:19:57.970+10:002012-01-19T10:19:57.970+10:00This site

Elisabeth KORNMAN (1833) married the brother of Captain William Townsend's second wife, Adelina Jessie MAIDMEN.<br /><br />On the balance of probabilities, I am inclined to accept that Helena Albertine TOWNSEND was the daughter of James Edward TOWNSEND and Johanna Wilhelmina KORNMAN. There are no other obvious marriages between Townsend and Kornman around that time and place, and Helena's birth date fits well with the other children.Geoff_Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018390078532766936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-763505711213653994.post-70690834639591445292012-01-19T09:20:11.996+10:002012-01-19T09:20:11.996+10:00I have put Helena Albertine in as a possibe 4th ch...I have put Helena Albertine in as a possibe 4th child of this couple.
