    Notes 
    • Possible birth for William - Falmouth is correct and father, Thomas, is the same as as the first child, who MAY be the first born child and hence named after the father on the 1851 census Thomas. So two good indicators. Matt Falvey 5 Dec 2010.

      One thing to note here is that the "Servant" Lavinia Williams, has the same name as Williams second wife did when she married him, so she could possibly be her daughter. I noticed too that she has disappeared on the 1871 census at which stage her mother had died in. - Matt Falvey 6 Dec 2010

      William Rowe, Servant, Unm, 16, Farm Servant in door, Camborne Cornwall.

      Note Williams place of birth here is listed as St Martin, when he was born in Falmouth. There are no William Rowe's with a Falmouth birth on the entire 1871 census and as this entry is in the Trenawin lane area the family has been there now for a long time. William children were mainly born in St Martins and I presume Mary may have given the details or Williams memory may have been failing and so St Martin was given instead of Falmouth.

      While I am speculating. the William Rowe "Servant" on this 1871 census is I am sure William James Rowe Born 1855 to William James Rowe (1826) and Priscilla Matilda Tippett. He appeared on the 1861 census with the step family - William James' (1826) new wife Jane Stevens and the then two new offspring Jane and James Stevens Rowe. It seems as the new family grew William James (1855)'s place in it may not have been as secure as the other children's and by 1871 we can see that he was out of the house with his grandfather and his new spouse. I think this isolation would have contributed to his decision 5 years later in 1876 to leave from Hayle and try his luck on his own in Australia - Matt Falvey 6 Dec 2010
