Evelina A Wallis 1861 Census

[Sarch]

Hi

Could the Alma Truscott grand daughter of Thomas Wallis in the 1861 Census be Evelina A Wallis?

1861 Census
Piece: RG9/1594 Place: Penzance -Cornwall Enumeration District: 17
Civil Parish: Madron Ecclesiastical Parish: Penzance
Folio: 13 Page: 19 Schedule: 89
Address: 8 Rosevean Road

Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks
WALLIS Thomas Head M M 67 Shoemaker Cornwall - Penzance
WALLIS Jane Wife M F 64 Laundress Cornwall - Helston
TRUSCOTT Elizabeth Dau M F 22 Dressmaker Cornwall - Penzance
TRUSCOTT James T Sonlaw M M 25 Railway Clerk Cornwall - Grampound
TRUSCOTT Alma Grndau - F 6 Scholar Cornwall - Penzance

James Truscott and Elizabeth Jane Wallis only married in November 1860


Evelina A Wallis is not at home with her parents Edwin Wallis and Rebecca Roach in 1861.

I belive her full name to be Evelina Alma Wallis
However I have yet to find any baptism/birth at all for the children of Edwin Wallis and Rebecca Roach except in the IGI

1871 Census - Evelina is staying with her uncle William Wallis (brother of Edwin)
Piece: RG10/2340 Place: Penzance -Cornwall Enumeration District: 16

WALLIS Evelenia A. Niece U F 16 At Home Cornwall - Penzance


I can't find Edwin and Rebecca Wallis in the 1871 Census but they are in the 1881 Census and Evelina is at home with her parents aged 26

Evelina married in 1883 in Redruth but I can't find her in the 1891 Census under either Dunston or Martin

1871 RG10; Piece: 2323; Folio: 66; Page: 13;

at Camborne Vean:

Edwin, 43
Rebecca, 49
Selina J,20
Edwin A, 14
Arthur H, 12,
Frederick W,7

I think you are probably right about Evelina being the Alma Truscott I have seen that sort of thing before, an assumption that the granddaughter must belong to the daughter in the household.

and I think this is her in 1891 m to Samuel Martin:
RG12; Piece: 1857; Folio 121; Page 4;
transcribed as Elevan S by A* but the original image is quite faint .

Hi Londoner

Thanks for the help with the 1871 Census
On Free Cen Search I can find it if I type in the piece number but if I leave that out and just search for Edwin Wallis b abt 1828 I get nothing - perhaps something wrong with the search engine?

I can find Samuel Martin Stonemason in Penzance in the 1891 census with wife H Martin

Thanks

Regards
