    • As enumerated:

      John Mallett, 20, Ag Lab;
      Eliza Mallett, 20;
      Ann Hill, 50;
      Mary Mallett, 70;
      James Honey, 5;
      John Quiller, 83, Shoemaker;
      Mary Quiller, 62;
      Thomas Smith, 40, Ag Lab;

      Richard Smith, 10;
      Maryann Smith, 8;
      Jacob Smith, 4;
      Elizabeth Smith, 1.

      John Mallett has been added to this family based on the evidence from the 1841 census. There was a Mary Mallett, 70, about the right age to be his mother Mary (Tapter), and Ann Hill, 50, a little too old to be his sister Ann who married Peter Hill, but still a possibility, and a James Honey, who might be the son of John's other sister Mary, who married William Honey.

    • As usual there were several different Johns who might have married Mary Tapter. This one was chosen because he was born in Liskeard where the marriage took place, and was about the correct age. There were 2 Johns born in Liskeard in the same year, and the choice of this particular one is more or less arbitrary, except for the fact that a burial has been attributed to this one, and Mary (Tapter) appears to have been a widow in 1841. It's almost a circular reference, but in the end it doesn't matter much, because the 2 Johns were 2nd cousins, so each line traces back to the same point.

      There are a number of things that don't make sense with this family:

      Although all of the children follow in a sensible chronology (except the last one, see below), the first was born 2 years before the marriage date. This child has been left with this family because there is no other known marriage of a Mary and John in this area in this time frame.

      There was another John born 1790 in St Minver who might have had a daughter in Padstow in 1808.

      There may well be 3 different John and Mary families.

      The youngest child, John, was quite a bit younger than the preceding children, but evidence from the 1841 census places him with this family.

    Family Eliza LABERTH,   b. Abt 1821 
    Marriage Abt Jun 1840  Stoke Damerel, Devon, England Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 3] 
    • There are several John Malletts who married an "Eliza" between 1838 and 1841, but Eliza Laberth is the only probable one, because of the date and the proximity of Stoke Damerel to Liskeard.
