Here's what I know
1871 census - RG10; Piece: 2252; Folio: 67; Page: 4, Charles is living at Sladesbridge with his parents Philip & Elizabeth, and 5 siblings. He is 22 years old, and unmarried.
1881 census - RG11; Piece: 2291; Folio: 75; Page: 6, his mother Elizabeth has died, and father Philip has a new wife, Sarah (nee Hugo). The family have moved into Bodmin, and Charles is now listed as a widower. Also listed is a 7 year old granddaughter to Philp, May, born in Bodmin. I assume this young girl to be Charles' daughter.
I've trawled through the indexes, I cannot find an obvious marriage for Charles, nor can I find a May Bennett born in Bodmin in 1873/4. I thought if I could find her birth, I could send for her birth cert to find her mother, but at the moment I'm drawing a blank.
Can anybody help?
