Wellington Row, Swansea HO107/1426/2 folio 37 pg 29
Henery Berresford 30 watchmaker
Thomas 10
James 9
all not born in county

There's a Thomas Beresford in Swansea in later census years whose place of birth varies, sometimes Swansea, twice Cornwall - Grampound or Camelford, once at sea but may mention Jersey (1851).

I bought Euginia s birth cert yesterday (She was Virginia on the census i had seen) Carolines Maiden name one cert is Bezroney tried searching that name but can't find anything as yet. Henry was just Henry on the cert not James Henry as his daughter Mary Ann had him on her marriage cert.

Francis Bozzone married Mary Whitford.

Link to Grampound - mentioned as birthplace for John

1819 Mary Bozzoni had a child Eliza baptised in Creed which is the parish church for Grampound.

No father was mentioned so I wonder if Francis had died at this point.

If John was born there in 1838, Caroline could have been a single mum as someone has already suggested I think.

I think that I have found Caroline in 1841 !!!!!

William Whitford 50
Mary Buzzeney 40
Caroline Buzzeney 25
Ann Teague 19

John Youtson 3



Francis Bozzoni had married Mary Whitford and here they are with a William  Whitford.

Also a three year old John, who perhaps they adopted when his mother died and is the John with Caroline  in 1851 in Wales.

Three year old John

I think the Youtson in the 1841 census should be Hewtson :

1826 Creed James Hewtson (watchmaker St Austell) married Eliza Teague

Cant find what happened to them but there is an Ann Teague with Caroline in 1841, so perhaps she is Elizas sister or perhaps she had an illegitimate son John with her sisters husband ?

James Hewtson watchmaker. Was he linked somehow to Henry Beresford watchmaker.

that's a good spot, Fizzy!

I've been searching for Beresford bmds in South Wales and there's a John Hewson Beresford whose marriage is registered march qtr 1865 Carmarthen vol 11a pg 799. It looks like a daughter Caroline Ann is registered dec qtr that year, but dies the following sept qtr, followed by her mother in the next qtr. John Hewson Beresford remarries in Pontypridd registration district in sept qtr 1868.

1861 census has John as head of the house in Swansea & Caroline is enumerated as mother, & the daughters of Henry as sisters to head. RG9/4101 folio 57 pg 6
Caroline's death is registered Pontypridd in march qtr 1876. Matilda also has Hewson as her middle name on marriage

Matilda Hewson Berresford  sept qtr 1874 Swansea vol 11a pg 890

1841 census Thomas Beresford

Says in some censuses that he was born Camelford

08-May 1831  Thomas Beresford O'Blandy HEWSTON  to James and Eliza Lanteglos by Camelford.

Eliza seems to die in St Austell in 1835, so perhaps thats why the children were scattered to the winds by 1841 although James seems to remarry in 1835 in St Columb Major.
