    • In 1881 Tryphosa was living as an unmarried housekeeper in the home of auctioneer William Jackson May, a widower, and his two daughters. William also employed a general domestic servant.
      Tryphosa had dropped the use of the surname Pepperell and resumed using her birth name.
      (Her 'husband' Robert Pepperell was still shown as married but was alone with his daughter by Tryphosa.)

      Another Tryphosa Biddick of a similar age died in the St Austell Register Office area in 1909. However, the 1901 census entry for the Tryphosa Biddick who didn't died in 1898 shows (by her birthplace and her children that were with her) that it was another one.

      Tryphosa only had the one child, Edith. She was living in Devonport; I guess Tryphosa may have moved to live with or near her. Edith and her family had only 2 rooms so it can't have been easy to fit an elderly mother in as well.

    Other Partners: Mary Ann SOPER  m. 14 Jan 1841 
    Married Between 1857 and 1861 
    • Since Robert was already married (though his wife had left him) they were not free to marry; this is the date they started living together (i.e. after Robert's wife left in Dec. 1856 and before the 1861 census).

      Their daughter was registered and baptised as though her parents were married. It seems hard to imagine that none of those involved knew the truth, perhaps it was a relection of the attitude that the newspapers took to Robert's situation - it was unfair that if a wealthy man was left by his wife he could get a divorce, but others couldn't.
    Married? Not married or evidence to suggest they didn't marry

    • GRO ref: Kellond, Tryphosa to Biddick, William Hamley q4 1885 St Austell 5c 195

      Tryphosa Kellond married at in St Austell Registry District in 1885 - matching up her husband from the marriage index with the 1891 census confirms it was this Tryphosa Kellond.
      The Cornwall OPC database provides more information - and further confirmation:
      'William Hamley Biddick, of full age, Widower, Carpenter, residence: St Issey, father: Thomas Biddick, Farmer
      Tryphosa Kellond, of full age, Spinster, House Keeper, residence: Tywardreath, father: Robert Kellond, Carpenter
      married by Licence
      witnesses: Sarah Theresa Jenkins, Albert Jenkins'
      (Sarah Theresa was one of Tryphosa's sisters, and Albert one of Sarah's sons; the Jenkins family lived in Tywardreath)

      But she had previously lived as the wife of Robert Pepperell - although they were not actually married.
      Robert had married a Mary Ann Soper in 1841 and was still with her at the time of the 1851 census, but by 1861 was shown as "married" to a Tryphosa, born about 1830 in Slapton, and Tryphosa was still with him and their 3 year old daughter in 1871. They were not free to marry due to Robert's earlier marriage, divorce not being affordable for most people.
