Velters Cornewall
Velters Cornewall (1697 – 3 April 1768) was an English politician.
He was born in 1697, the second surviving son of Henry Cornewall, and the first with his second wife Susanna.
He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he matriculated on 8 July 1714 and entered Lincoln's Inn.
He succeeded his father in 1717, inheriting property in Herefordshire which included Moccas Park.
In 1721 he made his first move into politics, writing to his cousin the Earl of Oxford, seeking to be appointed parliamentary candidate at Leominster.
Oxford replied that he had already promised the seat to Sir Archer Croft, but "I have the greatest regard for your family, and should be glad of any opportunity to show the esteem for your person.
"
The following year, he was selected to represent Herefordshire, a seat that he would hold for the next 46 years.
On 26 February 1745 he seconded a motion calling for a parliamentary enquiry into the Battle of Toulon the previous year, in which his younger brother James Cornewall had been killed.
The motion was passed, and Cornewall appointed to chair a Committee of the Whole House to look into the matter.
Cornewall spoke on several occasions in opposition to the Cider Bill of 1763.
This stand was popular back home, with Herefordshire a prominent cider-producing county to this day.
Ballads were written in his honour, and on 6 June 1763 "the High Sheriff, Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders [of Herefordshire] presented an address  expressing warmest thanks for [his] diligence and steadiness in opposing the late tax."
He married three times.
First, in April 1722, to Judith, the daughter of Sir James Herbert and widow of Sir Thomas Powell.
Together they had a son who died in infancy.
His second wife was Jane, the daughter of Edmund Bray MP, whom he married in October 1734.
She died on 10 April the following year.
Finally, on 2 April 1737, he married Catherine (d. 1777)
the youngest daughter and co-heir of William Hanbury of Byfleet, Surrey.
Catherine bore him two children:
Velters died on 3 April 1768 and was buried in Hereford Cathedral.

It was moved to the cloister as part of the renovations performed by George Gilbert Scott a century later.

Following his late father-in-law's bequest (including Moccas Court), Sir George took on his wife's surname.

Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.

The Ancient Egyptian artisan Sennedjem lived in Set Maat( translated as" The Place of Truth"), contemporary Deir el- Medina, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes, during the reigns of Seti I and Ramesses II.
Sennedjem had the title" Servant in the Place of Truth".
He was buried along with his wife, Iyneferti, and family in a tomb in the village necropolis.
His tomb was discovered January 31, 1886.
When Sennedjem's tomb was found, in it there was regular furniture from his home, including a stool and a bed, which he actually used when he was alive.
His titles included Servant in the Place of Truth, meaning that he worked on the excavation and decoration of the nearby royal tombs.
