Caroline Kinsman born in Carharrack

[selwynfroggitt]

I have John Henry Kinsman with his mother Caroline in 1901 living at Lawson Villa, Parkstone, Dorset.
She gives her age as 58 and born in Carharrack but the age may or not be correct..
I would like to find more about Caroline as there were a few Caroline Kinsmans born in Gwennap area around that time... unless I can establish which Caroline it is then it is a dead end with this family
 Can anyone find her and John Henry on other census years
Thank you

I would like to find more about Caroline as there were a few Caroline Kinsmans born in Gwennap area around that time.

Caroline gives herself as a widow on that census, so if that is correct you need to find her marriage and maiden name.

Thank you Groom.... I have seen  the 1901 census but for some reason did not note that she was shown as a widow.. i thought unmarried mother....
Her son John Henry was born in 1863 and is shown on the census as living at East Taphouse, St Pinnock, Cornwall... I have no note of who is with him ...may be 1871 shows her as single....

Thank you Vronladdy, Cas and Groom...... I was initially looking at the Kinsman family back to John Henry Kinsman and noted that his mother was with him in 1901 .. made a mistake in thinking that she was a single mother so been difficult to research further..
Thank you for the correction.. an avenue I had not considered
Cheers

I have just followed William Kinsman and Caroline Trevethan but it would appear according to Rootschat that Caroline died in 1881 yet my Caroline is with her son in 1901...
Looks like another avenue closed

So this is your likely John. If you wish to proceed further, I would get the cert to see what info you can obtain. 

Also try and find him in census, do not have access at mo or would try help.  You have discounted the family in reg district Liskeard as Caroline dies in Dec Q 1881.

Births Mar 1863
