Well, Terry, thanks for this - it explains why I got what I did. I was the one who made the mistake of ordering based upon providing the G R O reference info.

I've now ordered the one that checks the years either side of 1841 and to limit the mother's maiden name to TRETHOWAN. Anticpated despatch date 14 Oct. 2016. Hopefully receive it before I'm called for surgery - but that's another story.

 

[Sis]

Hope all goes well with your surgery Colin.

 

[MollyMay]

Don't worry yet folks - they're only going to discuss it with me in November. I'll provide info on a seperate thread once I know.

Today I received an email from the G R O.

Using the name LOUISA ELLEN TRUSCOTT birth district FALMOUTH and searching either side of 1841 they claim "Unable to find any entry with the information provided"

A refund has been processed.

All I have to prove her birth was a baptism of 28 Oct. 1853 and census records 1851 age 10, 1861 age 22 and 1871 age 30.

Could her birth have not been registered?

 

[Daft Bat]

Although civil registration was introduced in July 1837, it did not become compulsory until 1875. Some people thought that to have a child baptised was the same as registering that child. The 1874 Act (enacted in 1875) made registration compulsory within a 6 week period of the birth and imposed a fine if this deadline was missed - or if the birth was not registered at all.

Therefore, between 1837 and 1875, some children may not have been registered.

I wonder -----?
In 1839 in Falmouth during the Oct-Dec. q. an unnamed MALE Truscott was registered. A baptism in Budock on 28 Oct. 1853 happened - name William Henry Truscott.
The census for 1841 has William but no Louisa - this was held 6 June 1841.

There is not an unnamed FEMALE Truscott registered in Falmouth in 1841 - but -- there is an unnamed MALE Truscott registered Jan-Mar q. 1841 in Falmouth. Could this be her and the gender mistranscribed? Not likely as not included in the 1841 census.

A possible has been found in another year - an unnamed FEMALE Truscott was registered in Falmoth Jul-Sep. q. 1844 vol. 9, page 77.
Could this be her - or am I grasping?

Regardless - after 1871 census as a 30 year old Housekeeper, living with her father - a Butcher - living on Prince Street, Falmouth RG10/2292/89/37 is her last sighting.
