Devon Trenerrys!

Some of you may know that I have Trenerry ancestry. A Cornish family normally, but I have found a branch hanging out in Devon - specifically around Plymouth (Stoke Dameral).

So far (this evening - they are not my specific line but I do keep an "unlinked" Trenerry database to help others) I have followed the family back to the 1861 census.

A Joseph Trenerry who was born around 1845 in Devon appears in the 1861 census as a painter and that occupation, DoB and other details confirm he is the chap I am following back. However, the census transcript I have seen (on FamilySearch) isn't terribly useful.

Could some kind soul check the original (or a different transcript) and perhaps give details of the entry?

Many thanks!
 
Joseph of Stoke Damerel,16 -painter is with his Father Joseph,50- a cordwainer Mother Mary 37-both of Redruth, their son John, 25-widower, boot maker & their dtr Emma 19-boot binder.
Also dtr MAry 27 & son in law John White 29 carpenter, all of Stoke Demerel
Address on previous page is 1 Church st. Stoke Demerel.
 
The family can also be found on the 1851 census living at 9 Granby Lane, Stoke Damerel with the surname TRENNERY ;)

Thanks Wendy and Jan :)
Looking forward to tracking the family back now! Hopefully I will eventually trace them to Newlyn East as that seems to be the origin of the Trenerrys....
At least the census puts Joseph senior in Cornwall, which makes things a bit easier for me!

Love the speed at which people help out here on TD :)

Thanks again!

I must have missed your last couple of messages, Wendy - my apologies!

Many thanks for the info - I shall check my database to see how things fit in.

Edit: John C Trenerry who is listed as a widower is the correct family - son of Joseph and Mary. He married a Martha Emma Allen who died not long after the marriage (married 1858, she died 1860)
