Do you know what Barbara??? I think you've just solved my mystery!!!!!!

I just didn't think of looking for BUTT as a birth name............rather naive of me

It MUST be her! 

I am so grateful 

I will obtain a copy of this from my local Record Office here in Plymouth

Best wishes to you Barbara - I am VERY pleased indeed

thanks again

Well - one mystery solved 

But where is the rest of the family in 1871?  They can't all have died!

Barbara

[Philezra]

Actually, yes that was one of the other strange happenings.......do you suggest I look through death records? Seems like the only option -

Phil

[Barbara F]

It seems unlikely that they all died.
They could be badly mistranscribed, out of the country or maybe one parent died and the family is split up or appears under an incorrect surname.  Lots of possibilities.....
I think the first thing to do is search later censuses for them.  John Rodda is quite a common name.  From the 1861 census he appears to have been born about 1829 in Crowan.  I think we should confirm his birth year and place of birth from the 1851 census if possible.  What was his father's name?

I think i found John Rodda's DOB as 20 March 1831 - his father was Joseph

[Barbara F]

Well Phil, I can see John with father Joseph in 1851 and 1841 but I cannot find him after 1861.  Nor can I see a Rose that fits (assuming John died and she remarried).
I think I would investigate the possibility that the family emigrated.

Barbara

[Philezra]

Well John was a Miner so it opens up possibilities...

many thanks for all your helo Barbara

There is a marriage between John Rodda and Harriet Ward in 1861 - He is from Crowan although "a couple of years younger".......could be the same one
