Florence Edith MALLETT
1889 - Abt 1977 (87 years)-
Name Florence Edith MALLETT [1, 2] Birth 3 May 1889 Fowey, Cornwall, England [1, 2, 3] - Spinster.
Gender Female Census 1891 Dolphin House, Webb Street, Fowey, Cornwall, England [4] - During the enumeration of the 1891 census, Edith (Rillston) Mallett was in the household of her father Edward, along with her daughter "Florrie", while her husband Frederick was in his father's household.
Residence Between 1900 and 1940 13 Station Road, Truro, Cornwall, England - When the family first moved here, the address was "1 Cotehele Villas", as recorded in the 1901 census. In the 1911 census Edith gave her address as 13 Cotehele Terrace, but the enumerator recorded it as "13 Station Road"
Census 3 Apr 1901 1 Cotehele Villas, Kenwyn Urban, Truro, Cornwall, England [1] Census 2 Apr 1911 Cotehele, 13 Station Road, Truro, Cornwall, England [5] - Edith was described as a widow, so obviously Frederick William died prior to the census date. She recorded her address as "13 Cotehele Terrace, Truro", but the enumerator recorded it as "13 Station Road, Truro". The house apparently still stands today (2015), but the address is Station Road, as the enumerator had it. "Cotehele Terrace" seems not to exist.
Edith stated that she had been married for 23 years, and that she had had 11 children, with 8 of them still living. There must have been a child born and died between censuses that has gone unrecorded here.
