Merrifield of Truro
« on: Monday 08 June 15 01:10 BST (UK) »
Can someone please assist me in locating the family of Thomas and Catherine Merrifield living Truro on the 1851 Census?
In 1861 they were living sub registration district of St Clement.
They had married at Truro St Mary 1815.
Their first child baptised there 1816.

Assistance appreciated.

I'm not sure exactly what it is you are looking for?
Parents? Children?

Anyhow, this looks like his death:
Burial, 26th January 1864
Truro, St Mary
Thomas Merrifield, age 76


And for Catherine:
Burial, 19th January 1863
Bodmin
Catherine Merrifield, age 75
Asylum formerly of St Mary, Truro   Died 14th January 1863
Garrad (Suffolk, Essex, Somerset), Crocker (Somerset), Vanstone (Devon, Jersey), Sims (Wiltshire), Bridger (Kent)

Thank you.
That looks like Thomas with daughter Sarah.
I think Catherine may have been visiting Thomas family at St Ives in 1851.
Thomas and Catherine are together in 1861 living with daughter Catherine ( Waldon ).
Surname had been mis transcribed as Minifield.
I believe now resolved.
Thank you.
