Louisa Truscott

Found on Tribal Pages James Andrewartha born 1832 died Sandhurst Bendigo Victoria 1862. Son John also died same year. I have tried every spelling to find James death but no luck so far.
Thanks Colin all is good down this way except for the usual winter lurgies. Spring just around the corner.
I'll get back to searching for James later today unless someone else has dug him up.
 
Well! James has defeated me I'm afraid. I have no idea where he could be. He is not on BDM's under that name nor any other. I even tried Trewartha and found a James Andrew Trewartha died 1861....mmm, I wonder!!!!!! I had a sneek at FMP, what I can get at anyway and there were 3 Andrewartha's. Two with names and dates and one just the surname with no other info.....which is no help to anyone.
I'm still wondering about the James Andrew Trewartha.......
He was lost in a mining accident, Bendigo 3rd October 1861. His name is listed as, James Alfred (Andrew) Trewartha.
I'll see what I can find out about him.

If the son whose birth was registered in 1862, was born early-mid 1862, then the James (Andrew) Trewartha, killed in 1861 is half a chance to be your man.
Another tree has James Andrawartha dying in a mining accident in 1861 and looking at the surname history tells me that Trewartha/Andrewartha are interchangeable.
The 'Andrew' in brackets makes me think that this could be him......yes?/no?
He's nowhere else to be found.:headbang:

Have a sub. to FMP and there is a James Andrew Trewartha's death registered Victoria 1861 - #9958. His birth year is given as 1826 making his age 35. Is this the one you found?

My James was baptised 18 Aug. 1832 and in the 1841 census his age is 9 and in 1851 age 19.

A pity the age is out by a few years as Trewartha is a variant of Andrewartha

I agree.

It's a pity that what Sue found on Tribal Pages - post #41 - doesn't have supporting documents apparently.

Has anything been found on Trove by any chance? I've had no luck. I'm also curious about James PASCOE [a fine Cornish surname].

I've not found anything relevant on Trove either.

Problem with James Pascoe is there's a few who could fit the bill. We don't know when or where he was born. I searched deaths hoping to find one which mentioned his wife's name, and parents, no such luck, yet............never say never!
 
Just found a great book...not online but almost.
The Cornish Overseas: A History of Cornish Emigration. Google it.
A great number of family names to search about. Just put your name in the little search thingy on the left hand side, search in this book, or preview this book. Not all pages may show up but it just shows the extent and history of the Cornish miners, world wide.

I think this may be him:
James Pascoe death Victoria 1907/12872 Father James. Mother Mary Hicks
Please disregard...not them. Mary E died 1907. Back to the drawing board

I know and I was hoping that somewhere I could find a way - but it looks like I've gotta try the birth cert. for one of her kids.

Well I messed up - maybe. I thought I had ordered based upon the process suggested post #15 but today [almost 1 month after I had ordered] I received a birth certificate for one of the children.
The mother's maiden name was NOT Trethowan.

I cannot lay my hand on the copy of the order to the GRO so whether or not I made an error or they did I don't know.

From the 1851 census, I note that Louisa had a brother who was about 2 years older than she named William. This boy was baptised the same date as my Louisa - 28 October 1853 - as William Henry. There was onlty the following birth registretion that I found that may fit - details are:
Name: MALE TRUSCOTT
Reg. Year: 1839
Reg. Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Reg. District: Falmouth [this incl. Budock]
Volume: 9
Page: 80

If I order this ceritificate it will confirm whether he is a sibling or not.

Assumption - parent [Walter Hicks] was a farm lab. Maybe money was tight which was why the baptims and the birth of Louisa was not registered. What does one think? or should I retry as was suggested in post #15?

Colin, if you look on the GRO site there is a 'contact us' facility. You can email them with a question - so mail them and say you requested the bc with mother's maiden name as Trethowan and you got something different.
They do make mistakes, and are pretty good with correcting them or giving a refund. It is worth a try.

Colin, which certificate did you send for? Please give details of the certificate you've received.

#15 suggests you were hoping MMN was Truscott not TRETHOWAN. :confused:

You could send for the birth certificate of one of George and Louisa Primmer's children, if you use only MMN as a checking point, i.e. don't enter the vol and page numbers, if MMN isn't Truscott the GRO won't send the certificate and you won't be charged. A drawback to this method is: if TRUSCOTT has been spelt differently as say TRUSCOT GRO will not send the cert.

Will give it a shot. The only certificate I ordered in the month of August was for Alice age 6 in 1874. To the best of my recollection the order date was 23 Aug.

Checking my Mastercard statement I was billed $16.23 on 25 Aug.

As I mentioned, I cannot find the order completion notice to cite the GRO Reference #, so they may not agree that I did request the MMN on the order request as Trethowan.

Well that was fun - my contact with the GRO that was!!.

As of 1 Sep. 2016 one has now to provide a verification code. Since I couldn't find such an animal I had to resubmit for a new verification code. I recieved an email with a code link to access and submitted. Error message received - "Ivalid or expired verification code provided - please check the code or request
a new one".
After checking the code given was entered correctly I tried again - same result - so requested a new code. Recieved and submitted and found it worked.

Now to send my request for assistance - somehow I don't think I'll succeed without the GRO Reference # but one never knows.
