Charlotte Trethewy TRUDGEAN

[junket]

 


My ggg grandfather, William Vivian ( from St MEwan ), was married to Charlotte ( from St Mewan ).  They are listed on the 1881 census, as having Charlotte's mother Elizabeth TRUDGEON ( from St Ewe ), widow, living with them.

I have found a marriage for a William vivian and a Charlotte TRETHEWY TRUDGEAN  or a Charlotte TRETHEWRY TRUDGEAN, in Mar 1/4 1850.

I have found at Familysearch.org the following.

TRUDGAIN  Charlotte christening 5/8/1827 and a death, 25/9/1828, parents Wlliam and Elizabeth.

TRUDGAIN  Charlotte christening 25/2/1/30  parents William and Elizabeth.

Can anyone help with the correct spellings of TRUDGEON and  TRETHEWe, please?

Hi there

'Trudgean', 'Trudgain' and 'Trudgeon' would simply be spelling variants of the same word.  I don't think you could say that there was any correct spelling as such.  You just need to be creative when looking for this family!

As regards the marriage reference, the name is entered as Charlotte Trethewy TRUDGEAN on the GRO Index (no 'r').

Where a single entry crops up twice on FreeBMD with different spellings (as in this case) it's generally because the name has been transcribed differently by two people.  Don't be surprised however if 'Trethewy' has also been spelled differently in other records!
