    • 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.
