Part 2
However there is this website

the only Carnarton found there is
p. 146 No. 1164 (numbers jump 100 numbers for some reason) MARY CARNARTON(CARNASTON?), Calenick Street, 5 March 1858, 57, G. L. Woolcombe(?), Curate
I'm presuming the 57 is her age on burial.
This woman seems the only candidate on the 1851 census unless anyone can find a better one. She doesn't fit the woman with Amelia in 1841.
1851 census HO107 1910 folio 209
High Cross Truro St Mary Cornwall
Mary Carnarton 51 Kenwyn, Cornwall, Lodger Married warehousewoman
Thomas Carnarton 21 Kenwyn, Cornwall, Son Mason's labourer
Emily Carnarton 10 Kenwyn, Cornwall, Daughter
Robert? Carnarton 7 Kenwyn, Cornwall, Son
I think this is probably that Mary on the 1841 census

I had a quick stroll down Calenick Street in Kenwyn either side of the Slack family and other than William Carnarton the bone collector born Truro and lodging, there wasn't much else of interest in 1851.
On the 1841 census Amelia Carnarton was living in Calenick Street.
http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.plI cannot find an Amelia Carnarton baptism on the IGI. My Phillimores Atlas of parish registers says Falmouth and Kenwyn parish registers are fully covered on the IGI but not Kenwyn detached and of course I don't know so much about non-conformist registers.
These are the Kenwyn baptisms for children of a Charles and Mary Carnarton (IGI coverage 1813-1859) - could be a different Charles (you can bet even with a very rare surname - the 1851 census only picks up around 15 possibilities in Cornwall, none in 1861 and 2 in 1871 - they are all in the same place with the same names at the same times) - these baptisms might relate to the Mary found on both the 1841 and 1851 censuses.
CHARLES CARNARTON
Christening: 07 JAN 1827 Kenwyn, Cornwall,
HENRY PERRO CARNARTON
Christening: 25 DEC 1835 Kenwyn, Cornwall
MARY JANE CARNARTON
Christening: 25 DEC 1837 Kenwyn, Cornwall,
plus these three
WILLIAM CARNARTON
Christening: 01 SEP 1833 Constantine, Cornwall
MARY CARNARTON
Christening: 01 SEP 1833 Constantine, Cornwall
THOMAS CARNARTON
Christening: 01 SEP 1833 Constantine, Cornwall
No marriages of anyone in the name Carnarton 20 years either side of 1820 in Cornwall on the IGI. As Kerwyn is to the north and East of Falmouth, Constantine is to the west.
You could try the indexes of the Cornwall family History Society.
http://www.cornwallfhs.com/other/transcription_progress.htmThere is at least one member of the society expressing an interest in all Carnartons and if they have researched the surname that might be an easy way to say whether this is a possibility for Amelia's surname or not.
You also have that possibility of Amelia Carnarton's death registration in 1842 to contend with - especially since at this point only one has been found (still could be a child born and died after the 1841 census and the census index itself is incomplete at present).
All of this should give a start for JAP and something to get her teeth into on the next shift. I look forward to reading what she says. I've not come to any conclusions on this. I'd like to see what JAP thinks.
