The elusive William vergo
« on: Wednesday 20 March 24 09:18 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me find William before 1871.  William born in 1848 was a seaman and can be found in censuses from 1871 saying he was born in St Stephens in Cornwall.  I can find nothing for him before this.

Many thanks.

I can’t see him in 1871.
Is he in Scotland in 1881, Queensferry - occupation ‘Private’.
I can only see the transcript.

1891 1717/13
William Vergo married to Emma R with children.
Do you have a marriage certificate with father’s name?

You might be best to purchase the marriage certificate.

William H seems to be married to Martha in later censuses.

William Varcoe, 3 yrs is with parents James and Mary and siblings at 1851 1908 /173/20

I believe that this is the one with mmn Parnall (siblings too).
He is born and living Gorran.

In 1861 that family is lacking William. Seems a little young to have gone off on his own: died?
