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.
