Catherine J Grenfell, Born c1862, St Just, Parents - Richard & Catherine
Catherine J Grenfell, Born c1867, Towednack, Parents - Thomas & Mary

If you would like further details just let me know.

Catherine Jane Granfell = her death certificate says she died 1891 aged 25.She was born St Just ,Cornwall.England.
Her father was Henry Granfell ,mother Selena Thornton ( I thought it was possibly Leggoe)
She arrived in Australia abt 1874/1875 & married 1883 aged 17 years.
I am checking on a death transcript for Henry Grenfell died 1890 Australia to check if that's her father.

Thanks for looking ! I've checked out the Grenfell site but can't find her  I only found a marriage 1863 between Henry & a Selena Leggoe (no children recorded). It says on Catherine's marriage certificate that her parents are not listed but Henry Granfell ,Father of the bride gave consent to the marriage.(1883 she was only 17).
Hopefully if I have found the right Henry's death certificate it will give me more info.(I should receive it next week.)

My grandmother received the wrong birth certificate when in england researching the family history. 

If this is of some help to you, that would be fantastic!

Cheers Melissa Robson
