Another poser for you. I was looking at the marriage of Catherine Glasson to George Roberts in Breage in 1826. So I started the normal way and tried to find Catherine Roberts in the census and I think that I found George and Catherine and two children in the 1841 census at Breage. The children were said to be 20 years old which makes them a little old but there could be many reasons for that - e.g. previous marriage, rounded to the wrong age etc.
However I could not find them in a later census and the information from 1841 is a bit limited. But working on the rounded age of 35 for Catherine I looked at my baptism database and could not see a candidate even close. The only family I could find in that area at that time was the family of Edward and Eleanor nee Eustice - and no child named Catherine. But I noticed that Edward and Eleanor had a grand daughter named Catherine which got me wondering.
So I checked the OPC database and found a Catherine Glasson baptised at Germoe in 1802 (resident in Breage) - just perfect I thought. Parents - Edward and Catherine
I just knew straight away that I would not have a marriage for an Edward and a Catherine - and I didn't.
Must be Edward and Eleanor - surely??? Do you have copy of the baptism records for Germoe?
