Tryphena Venn - woman of mystery
« on: Saturday 18 November 17 15:32 GMT (UK) »
According to her 1896 death cert. she was born in 1811. I think I have traced her in the census from 1851 to 1881 working as a live in cook. Her birthplace appears to be Bradninch or Cullompton, but I can't find a record online.
She had a daughter Emma born about 1852, supposedly in Newton Abbot, but again no obvious record. Emma's marriage cert. states that her father was William Venn, engineer, but again no record of a marriage or census entry, so assume William was invented for respectability and that Emma was illegitimate.
So I am back looking for records of any Venn's living  in the Cullompton area, no luck so far , can anyone help?

I think this is her in 1841? In Salcombe Regis.

According to this page, there is as yet no Online Parish Clerk for either Bradninch or Cullompton?

Good find that looks like her.

There are two 1871 entries for Richard Venn - patient Royal Naval hospital Plymouth which would tie in with the 1881 census info and boy 2nd class on the Impregnable vessels.

Birth 6 Dec 1855 per naval record.

There's a death in 1883 age 30 that could be him.

Where do you have her in 1861?  I take it no children are with her - where was Emma?
