Hello Rachelle,
Chances are that your family originated in Cornwall and not Spain.The Christian names are English and if Chester was a Baptist minister he was certainly a Protestant and not a Catholic.People always think I am Mexican or Spanish but there is rarely any connection to Latin America, and the last name is pronounced as in Josephine or Joseph and not as it is in Mexico.Lots of names in Cornwall sound Spanish,but are not.
I don't suppose you have any place names otherwise I would suggest that you try looking at the Cornwall Online Census Project.
Otherwise try to find your relatives in Cornwall to begin with.
Good luck,
Colin Jose.
