This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Prove it

we just have to take your word for it. Timmy12 01:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not need to prove it. I have provided a reliable source - ODNB. If there are errors in the ODNB article, then I suggest you contact the Oxford University Press, who are always grateful for any comments, corrections or additional sources. Vernon White 07:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

"A Member of the Davies-Gilbert Family"

Davies Gilbert was not "A Member of the Davies-Gilbert Family", he was born Davies Giddy and took his wife's name to perpetuate it, in 1817. This enabled the couple to inherit her heirless uncle's extensive property in Sussex. It would be good to know more about Mrs. Gilbert, the agricultural improvement project near Beachy Head and John Davies Gilbert, whom someone claims founded the town of Eastbourne in Sussex.

Was John Davies Gilbert a son of Davies Gilbert? Was he the same as the J.D. Gilbert of Trelissick, Cornwall, ( d. 16 April 1854 ) who married a Hon. Anne Dorothea Carew on 7 Oct. 1851? (Source: Peerage.com). For what period did the Gilberts own Trelissick (Now a National Trust property)?

If Davies Gilbert founded the family that became "The Davies-Gilbert Family" then it would be best to link from his WP article to theirs with a reference to his children and their inheritance.

However, I am much more interested in Davies Gilbert's role as High SherifF of Cornwall, in Parliament and in the Royal Society. ---Vernon White
