Hi Laura

Pleased we were able to help.

Merry Xmas and a Happy New year.

Gail.

According to the header, column 4 of an 1878 Scotish birth registry entry is supposed to contain:
Name, Surname, & Rank or Profession of Father
Name, and Maiden Surname of Mother
Date and Place of Marriage

Just wanted to say an extra big thank you to all those who helped me on this late last night ! I was chatting to my gran today about it, and my mum (it's her dad's side of the family) and they were both thrilled.
So big thanks to you all!
Laura

oooh, that looks promising too!

I can't believe how much we've found tonight - for the last 2 years I kept putting this branch off because I just couldn't get through that first bit!!!

In the words of Homer Simpson - Doh!

IGI has this but may not be relevant

MARY ANN SLADE KELLOW - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 28 JUL 1833 Truro, Cornwall,

Mother Elizabeth Kellow

Gail.

Ah yes, all looks good, doesn't it.

Gail. x

And I've found a marriage -
Jun 1840 Elizabeth Kello_ married Edward Trewolla in Truro.

So, Mary Ann Kellow was obviously born before that marriage to a different father, hence keeping Kellow as her surname...

interestingly, 1851 census has this

Mary Ann Kellow (*trewolla) b1833 st mary (truro) daughter
Elizabeth Trewolla head bPortsmouth 1805
Elizabeth Trewolla dau bSt Mary 1849
John & Margaret Walters - lodgers
John Toy age 9 - visitor

There was a Trewolla in the 1861 census with her I think? Maybe a niece of some sort?

Hi Laura

I hope it all leads somewhere anyway.

Be interesting to see if the marriage is the same date but different year from what was on the birth cert - June 2nd.

Gail.

Gail - maybe that's them but the person doing the census thought it was Penryn for the birth because that's where they lived?

Or am I just getting excited now? ! lol

have a possible match for 1841, in Kenwyn which is near Truro... will buy the marriage certificate just after Xmas I think, that will give me the fathers names etc.

I think I got tied up with the Scottish link, when in fact she was just born there, everything else seems to be back down this end of the country!

Thanks again for all the help!

Yes I think it is Framer

Hi Laura,

I thought it said Framer, but will take another look.

Gail.

all looks very promising - thanks so much for all your help!

On the 1861 census image she's at the White Hart which I think is an inn in Plymouth near union street/the octagon... can anyone work out what it says for her occupation? Does it say framer? what is that?

Thanks

That one for 1861 is definitely likely as the daughter Mary Ann lived in Plymouth and married a Plymothian...

Think this John on the census is a Seaman, the same Mary Ann Solomon from the 1861 census is with a John on the 1891 and he is a Seaman.....maybe he did not get home very often...................

Could it be a mistranscription/mistake with the James/John do you think?

Not had much luck finding John on the census, but then- if he was a seaman he was probably on ship...

Laura I have one that had been married for 27 years & 4 months when their youngest child (my Nan) was born so it is possible.

1861 census

This lady says she is married on the census
