Click on C and read about a Matthew Clemo b 1831 son of a Matthew Clemo and grandson of a Matthew Clemo.  (The grandfather fought at the battle of Waterloo!)

I just read that and found out it was about a Matthew son of JOSEPH and grandson of a Matthew.

However take this with the info about a baptism  I found in Bodmin in 1793 for a Matthew son of Matthew and Ann and I think this may be the same family.

I have never seen this info from Pa before so it is def worth a further investigation.

Did the parents go there I wonder??

The Sophia I saw in 1841 was living with James,Joanna, Harriet, and John CLEMO.  Her occupation was confectioner and she was 40 years old.

In 1861 she is living alone, a widowed pauper aged 63.

In 1871 she is lodging with Sophia GEORGE a widow and her children.  Sophia CLEMO is aged 72, widowed with no occupation.

In 1851 she is with her husband William Clemo and children at the same address.  HO 107/1907/284/38

That Margaret Clymore is certainly a possibility although I dont recognise the name Surman  or any of the Christian names either.

I am having great problems with my ISP so may disappear.

The Victorian death index 1921-1985 has
5 CLEMOW and 8CLEMOW  surname entries
36 entries with mothers maiden name CLEMO,CLEMOW,CLEMON,CLEMONT none margaret, Annie or Sophia.

Sophia Jnr, Margaret and Ann all remained in Birmingham until their deaths respectively: Dec 1902, Jan 1917 and Mar 1906, They all married and were Sophia Upton, Margaret Acres and Ann Bayliss by then.

If I remember correctly the Sophia in St Austell on several censuses was married to a William Clemo.

The death in St Columb can't be the St Austell one as she lived much longer.  I don't have the certificate for the St Columb one, will check with my cousin who shares this research if she has it.

I don't have any other ideas for spellings, I think you've covered them all.

You just can't tell from this information and like someone else said even if you get the marriage certificate you won't be any further forward.

Sorry but  that's just  how a lot of these puzzles are, they remain puzzles.

Have you found her with any other relatives in later censuses? sometimes a widdowed parent will live with their children in later life, this sort of info could be a pointer.
