I am researching the Tinney family from Plymouth.
To start with can find no record of Jessie Tinney's birth.
She was my Great Grandmother, born 1862, Moricetown, Devon, parents Peter Tinney and Mary Ann Williams. Found her marriage and am sending for a certificate but no birth.
Another puzzle her brother Alfred Peter married Alice Curtis and according to the 1861 census she had a sister called Sophia age 4 both daughters to Mary Curtis age 77? ?I've treble checked. Now there is also a niece Sophia age 40 gather she is the mother and the census has made abit of a mistake. At least I hope so.
Can somebody check a birth for Jessie, I may of just missed the entry.
Any help or information on this family would be appreciated.

Another question. Looking into the 1871 census and see that Alice age 11 is a passenger, but what does "Passenger In Ganges " mean?

She's on board the "Ganges" on census night. It is a training ship for boys and an odd place for an 11 year old girl. (see enumerator's comments for that census district)
There are 2 other Curtis on board.
Edward 16 "boy 2nd class" b. Birkenhead, Lancs
Samuel 51, married, Boatswain 1 class, Barnstaple, Devon
Perhaps she is related to one of them.

In 1861 Sophia is described as "Wife of warrant officer".
Is a boatswain 1st class a Warrant officer?

Several of the children on board do seem to be related to officers on board.
(just so you have the full info, John Curtis is apparently on another vessel, the "Liberty Tender", but is in the same listing)

You all have been very helpfull. Will have to have a closer look who the others were on board.
What do you mean by tender ship? I'm not very navy minded.
Looks like the mother must of died between 1861-1871, need to do some more research, but can now order a birth certificate for Jessie, did wonder if Jessie was a real name.
Thanks again

Are you interested in your great-grandmother's sister-in-law's parents (Curtis) ie not direct ancestors - or your great-grandmother's parents (Tinney)?
The latter are in Devomport in 1871 indexed under TENNEY.helina
