The William A Fletcher on the 1881 census is probably the illegitimate son of Bridget.

If correct there's a great tree on Anc* with a photograph of Thomas Fletcher alleging he was a smuggler.

Hi All,
Thank you for all your comments, I have most of the information collated now. Yes, indeed he was a member of the Coastguard before he absconded and became a Smuggler.

Just trying to find out if any of his ancestors still live in Cornwall.

Thank you all for your time and replies
