Hello All, I've just popped over the border from Devon where I usually 'hang out'. Is there access on line (which I haven't found) / does anyone have access to St Mabyn marriages Dec 1840 please? Or as I know exact date & place will Cornwall RO supply a copy or even simply confirm details & parentage (Exeter RO will do a copy for approx. £3.00 inc UK postage - last time I requested). If you're interested, here's my quandary.... I've been told (2nd hand & original source unknown) that William SOB[E]Y & Ann TREVERTON married St Mabyn 31 Dec 1840 This marriage is not in the GRO index - *and* I've searched Freebmd for an Ann marrying a William without surnames Dec ¼ 1840 Bodmin District or anywhere in Cornwall, to check for possible variant spellings / mis-transcriptions. BTW, the Ann TREVERTON who married Mar ¼ 1841 Bodmin District married Felix Elford COOM. I have William & Ann in 1841;- St Mabyn Village Civil parish: St Mabyn Hundred: Trigg County/Island: Cornwall Country: England Registration district: Bodmin Sub-registration district: St Mabyn William Soby 20 / Ag Lab / y Ann Soby 20 / y ## William John s/o William & Ann SOBEY labourer was baptised 2nd January 1842 St Mabyn http://www.stmabyncornwall.co.uk/. No GRO birth entry. Wm & Ann apparently also had a John c.1844 -- although I believe this could be William John 1842. Again no GRO birth for John. Then no further signs of Wm & Ann - census or death - did they emigrate? Son John is with John TREVERTON in 1851 as 'grandson' & I can track John through to 1911. Thank you very much for any ideas & assistance on this. Regards, Louise
