Find Ancestors

I am having great difficulty finding out who Christopher Davey Treweek married. I know the first name of his spouse was Emily and they married in Truro. The references I have are, vol 5c, page 185. I can't find another female on that page and when I sent for the certificate, they informed me that I had the wrong info. Coincidently, it was double checked by a friend. Any ideas how I can solve this? Thank you, Nicki.

On FreeBMD on Ancestry it doesn't give the names of any females on this page. Kath. x

Hi there What year and month was this marriage please? Thanks Zoe

It's March qtr. 1890. Kath. x

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?

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

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

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

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?

Kath Can you post those details please Thanks Zoe

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

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!

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.

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

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

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
