I am using the attached obituary for Thomas Casley 1851 to add more info to my Cassley family tree. Thomas's sister Charity Casley 1855 appears to have married a William Trembath but I can't find the marriage. Attachments:

Hi allan, there's a possible marriage in the Penzance district in 1874 between Henry Hocking and a Charity Casley, and another marriage again the Penzance district in 1898 between William Trembath and Charity Hocking. These are worth investigating to see if Charity married previously.

In addition to the information supplied by Polly there appears to have been only one Charity Casley marriage in the Penzance R.D. that being the one in 1874 to Henry Hocking. The 1881 Census seems to support this being your Charity of 1855 but by 1901 she seems to have become perhaps a little vain. In that Census she is at St Just with William Trembath but gives her age as 41. This might perhaps be because in that same Census William Trembath was just 36!  But I think you will find this is what you are looking for. CT |

Thank you both for your help. I already had Charity married to Henry Hocking. I found two marriages on Ancestry for Charity, both in Jun Q 1874. The first marriage had Records on Page for Edward Berryman, Charity Casley, Henry Hocking, & Margaret Jane Williams. Penzance. Volume 5c. Page 517. The 1881 census shows that Edward Berryman married Margaret Jane Williams, & that Henry Hocking married Charity Casley. The other marriage had Records on Page for John Retalack, Charity Casley, Emma Jenkin, Henry King Nicholas, & Mary Jane Williams. Penzance. Volume 5c. Page 317. Charity Casley should not be listed. Vol 5c but Page 517 not 317. I advised Ancestry of the transcription error. I had searched on Cornwall OPC for a marriage between groom William Trembath & bride Charity, not giving her surname, but without success. I should have searched elsewhere  Charity Trembath died aged 57 in Jun Q 1914 reg district Helston. Charity's age in the 1911 census is given as 50, not 55 which it was. I'm 84 now so wouldn't mind a pint or two of Charity's rejuvenating ale! Thanking you both once again, with compliments of the season, Allan. |

Allan - I hope you are not angry at the OPCs for this problem!  The reason you could not find it on the OPC site is that they only have access to filmed Parish Registers and Non-conformist records that have been made available to them for transcription. Not all PRs have been filmed or are available and even less so with the NC records. However, in this case it may not have mattered as that marriage very likely occurred in the Register Office and the only way I know you can get those records is by purchasing the certificate! It is possible the marriage was Non-conformist in which case the particular register either has not yet been filmed or is simply not available to the OPC at the moment. So please, if your anger and frustration is directed at the OPC ...... then please think again!! CT |

In no way could I be angry with the OPC's. On the contrary, I am full of admiration for them. I couldn't have got very far with my family history without using the dedicated work of the OPC transcribers. I am aware that the coverage is available on the OPC website & that the content is being added to. For instance, I have had much correspondence with transcriber Bob Bolitho which has been to our mutual advantage - mainly mine of course (I nearly added an emoticon here but I may have picked an inappropriate one again!) Thank you for your advice re the marriage certificate. Please accept my abject apologies for the poor wording of my remark which led to your comment. Best wishes, Allan. |

Still not sure if I have explained myself properly Ian. I invariably search the OPC first & then search other sites if necessary.
Allan.

No problem Allan. I thought it was probably a case of self-anger but I had to be sure. Besides - it gave me another opportunity to highlight a few points for other people to consider.  CT |
