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.

I have Bryan's in my family and sometimes it's Bryant. Nothing to do with Cornwall though.

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.

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. Then a few miles inland is Goldsithney which seems joined to St. Hilary with the church (very hard to find) down a tree smothered lane in between the villages. 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.
