Great. so it looks as if this couple may not of had children going by their ages at time of marriage.
Are they showing in the 1901 census at all?

Cant see them at the moment, but I cant see a death either. I wonder if she called herself something else.
-
Looks as if you have struck the same problem as myself.
Her name had many different spellings, so she will be hard to trace.

Well, at least she wasn't married before! ;D
1881 census: RG12, 2349, 18, 13
Chiverton, Sancreed, Penzance
Clemens, WIlliam Head M 65 Farmer of 65 Acres b St Buryan
Clemens, Jane Wife F 70 b Sancreed
George, Zinobia Servant F 28 Farm Servant (Indoor) b St Just
Toman, John Brother-in-Law M 68 Ag Lab b Sancreed
Zinobia was single!

Was there any connection with Reynolds? There is an Isobella Oats in the 1901 with brother in law with the surname Reynolds although it says she is single, she has a 6 year old child with her. Also appears in the 1911 as aunt to a Reynolds family and gives place of birth as St Just.
-
Not too certain about Reynolds..could be her sister Elizabeth who married a Reynolds. I have not traced her either.
This side of the family had just opened up for me, as their sister Nanny/Annie came to New Zealand, now I am trying to track the rest of the family.
Cheers

Looking again, I dont think that is her as Isabella is in previous censuses.

Thank you. Now just to match a death to either a Zenobia Sheering or Woods.
Sadly no children for Zenobia :-[ My line of this family may only be through my gg grandmother, as both brother died young, only Elizabeth is the next port of call.

Have a look at the 1911 - they have an adopted daughter with them
-
Sadly I do not have access to 1911

Thanks everyone. Well done ;D
I have found the death for Zenobia under Shearing also the death of both husbands in Cornwall.

And sadly their adopted daughter died at age 14. So no more leads on this part of the family.
Thank you all for your help.
