  • Name Florence Edith MALLETT  [1, 2] 
    Birth 3 May 1889  Fowey, Cornwall, England Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3] 
    • Spinster.
    Gender Female 
    Census 1891  Dolphin House, Webb Street, Fowey, Cornwall, England Find all individuals with events at this location  [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 Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • 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 Find all individuals with events at this location  [1] 
    Census 2 Apr 1911  Cotehele, 13 Station Road, Truro, Cornwall, England Find all individuals with events at this location  [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.
