Nicola, Just a thought. When you ordered the marriage certificate, did you give just the groom's name or did you also give the name Emily for his wife? It could be that the marriage certificate is the right one, but Emily is not the proper name for Christopher's wife. Perhaps she was mistranscribed on the 1901 census, or perhaps Emily was a middle name. I'd be inclined to order the certificate again just using the details from Ancestry, just giving the groom's name, and if you want a checking point, give Samuel as his father's name. Then just see what the certificate has to say as to his wife's name. Kath. x

Can't find Christopher in 1891, hope someone can Zoe

Ok got it got confused then so this is the christophers father Samuel we are looking for in 1891 Name: Samuel Treweek (he's a widower) Age: 78 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1813 Relation: Head Gender: Male Where Born: Kea, Cornwall, England Occupation Farmer Civil parish: Ladock Town: Bissick County/Island: Cornwall Country: England Registration district: Truro Sub registration district: Probus ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Household Members: John Oates 25 Grandson Mary A Treweek 52 Daughter Samuel Treweek 78 Head If im wrong please correct me Thanks Zoe

I think there are two different Christopher Treweeks, both with fathers called Samuel. The Christopher we are interested in has Davey as middle name and was born 1861.

The father samuel seems to change his age around from 1881-1891 Zoe

ok this looks like Christophers mums death Deaths Jun 1883 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Treweek Jane 66 Truro 5c 129 So the father remarried

The 17-year old in 1891 isn't our chap. Birth refs from Ancestry: Christopher Treweek 1850 Jan-Feb-Mar Redruth Cornwall Christopher Treweek 1872 Oct-Nov-Dec Truro Cornwall >>>Christopher Davey Treweek 1861 Jan-Feb-Mar Truro Cornwall Lucky our one has a middle name.

Hmm. Christopher and Emily are definitely together as a married couple in 1901, but I can't find them married in 1891, nor a likely Christopher Treweek/Emily Treweek living separately, nor a single Emily with birth details as on 1901. Curiouser and curioser!

I think there must be 2 Christophers, both born Kea, Cornwall, because the one in 1891 says he is 17 and single (even though the marriage was 1890), but on the 1901 census with Emily, he gives his age as 40. Kath. x

Kath Can you post those details please Thanks Zoe

1901 has Lanivet Christopher Treweek 40 abt 1861 Head Kea, Cornwall Emily 40 abt 1861 Wife Ladock, Cornwall, Christopher is a farmer, with his own account and they have a servant. 1891 - can't see them, though there is a younger Christopher Treweek, born Kea with his parents. I suppose you could try to find an Emily pre-marriage on the census born in Ladock and then check her surname in the marriage registers?

It's strange that he is on the 1891 census as single!! Kath. x

Do you have any idea where Christopher was born and the year of birth Zoe

Ok so here are the marraige details Marriages Mar 1890 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TREWEEK Christopher Davey Truro 5c 185 Let me see if I can find anything back shortly

I take it this is the ref you used: Christopher Davey Treweek 1890 Mar Truro Volume: 5c Page: 185 What did the GRO say was wrong with it - were they unable to find a marriage, or did it have a different name on it?

It's March qtr. 1890. Kath. x
