I have a problem patch in my research that I can't seem to get over, wondered if anyone had any ideas.
Our anchester John Tredrea married Frances Eliza Wheeler in 1857. They had one son John Wheeler Tredrea in 1859 who died in 1860 (St Giles) and they had a second son Thomas Martin Wheeler Tredrea in 1860 (St Giles).
1861 census shows Francis Eliza Tredea and son Thomas living with parents, Thomas Martin Wheeler and Ann Wheeler, but still shows married not widowed. I cannot find John anywhere on that census. His occupation on his marriage cert is Insurance clerk (could he have been working for his father-in-law who was a quite well known (journalist, accountant and Chartist) and his father Thomas Tredrea is a Cordwainer.
1871 census was a tough one but I found that Frances remarried a Henry Bradley in 1870 and she is on the census as Frances E Bradley with son Thomas Bradley aged 10.
Is it likely that she was divorced from John Tredrea at this period or is it more likely that he had died?
Still cannot find a John Tredrea that fits.
1881 census shows a John Tredrea aged 50, unmarried, living in Marlebone, London, a Cordwainer and born in Penzance, Cornwall. Could this be him? I have traced a Thomas Tredrea, Cordwainer to Madron in Cornwall who did have a son John of the right age, but there is no way of proving this?
I can find no trace of Frances E Bradley or son Thomas Bradley.
However our Thomas Wheeler Tredrea (back to original name) marries in 1883 to Martha Mary Eastop and names father as John Tredrea (deceased) and an Insurance Clerk.
It carries on from here just as complecated in the next generation - nothing runs smoothly with this line. My main issue is how to prove that John Tredrea is the one from Madron in Cornwall when I have nothing census wise(and so place of birth) to link him to our Frances Eliza Wheeler.
I look forward to any help.
Many thanks. Belinda Quigley

Hi FIzzy
Thank you for all your thinking on this.
I have the marriage cert for Thomas Wheeler Tredrea (1883) and he does state his father as John Tredrea (deceased).
I had wondered about the two birth certificates - it may lead to something - and perhaps Thomas didn't known he was registered twice and then why his parents divorced?
Thanks. Belinda.
