Thanks Merry, A lot of the little villages where the Bryants lived are only a few miles apart. He was living Perranuthnoe for the 1841 Census, but when he died 16 Sept he was at Goldsithney. Would that be too early for a death cert? This info was published so long ago. I have never tried to confirm it consistenly, only dabbled. I know Cornwall's records are good, I should try to find out who his mother is now, as what was not available in 1981 may be now. Thanks.

Thanks Marg. I seem to recall that on his children's baptisms, which I looked up a long time ago on the IGI fische, the surname was spelt a different way each time. It would be interesting to see whether he signed his name or made his mark in the marriage register.

Erm, he was living in Goldsithney for the 1841 too! I copied the address down in post #2 above. Goldsithney is a village in the parish of Perranuthnoe.

:o:o Sorry Merry, I should have read your 2# properly. You would understand I wasn't a teacher's pet at school with my inattention lol. Thank you for telling me.
I have visited the lovely village of Perranuthnoe which is on the coast. :D Then a few miles inland is Goldsithney which seems joined to St. Hilary with the church :(:D:d(very hard to find) down a tree smothered lane in between the villages.:D Penzance would be the closest centre for registration I imagine.

*Huffs*

Not difficult to find at all, I travel that lane every week in the summer to a large car boot sale at Rosudgeon.

Yes, PZ would have been the registration district.
