Hello Kev
It is unlikely that pre 1837 baptism registers will give the wife's maiden name.
First question - do you think there are 2 Joseph Caddys or has one married twice? If you have access to the marriage records they should state whether the groom was a bachelor or widower.
Assuming there are 2 Josephs and Elizabeths, what I would do, is list out all the children and then try to split them between the 2 families. You may find some are obvious because of the dates (although you need to bear in mind that baptisms can take place some time after birth) but you may also be able to use census information. If a grandparent is with the family on a census or a child is staying with the grandparent that may help too. What are the occupations of the 2 Josephs - if they are different again that will help you.
Do you have the 2 Josephs on the 1841 census?
Barbara
Sorry - I see you have Joseph in the censuses. Is he the one in St Hilary with wife plus Richard, William and Silas?

Hello Kev
Yes the best thing is to build up as detailed a picture of the family as you can.
If one of the children is Silas I wonder whether his name might give you a clue as to a grandparent's name?
I am afraid that in Cornwall you will often find lots of people with a surname that is quite unusual in England.
Let us know if you need some more help.
Barbara

You can get copies of parish record entries from the Archives in Truro.
http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=38210
The names of witnesses from the marriage might give you a clue or the father's occupation on a baptism record.
The place of birth for Silas in 1851 (HO107/1919 folio 238 pg 42) is Marazion and there's a baptism 11/1/1835 in Marazion. Joseph gives his place of birth as Germoe and this ties in with a baptism 25/1/1792 son of Joseph and Alice (IGI batch C022202). The other Joseph would appear to be the one baptised St Hilary 31/5/1789 son of John & Christian (IGI batch P020981). Possibly he was the one buried St Hilary 5/5/1837 age 48.
Wonder if anyone on the board has the Marazion baptisms as they're not on the IGI?

Hi I have been reading about your query. I had a similar problem and was lucky enough to find a headstone for one of the parties involved. This also mentioned " and their son .. died (date) aged (age) which enabled me to solve the problem. Just a thought, but headstones can give lots of info if you are fortunate enought to see them. Perhaps if you have any death info, someone in the area could have a look for you.
Good luck Ronnie
