I have a very frustrating HAMBLY family and hope someone has some light to shed on the almost eternal darkness.
1859 Thomas HAMBLY age 28 married Mary Elizabeth WOTTON in the register office Newton Abbott. His father was stated as Francis HAMBLY both were Sawyers.
1861 Census Thomas and Mary living in East Street Newton Abbott he is stated as age 30 (that fits) from Redruth Cornwall.
1871 Census Thomas, Mary and family living in Richards Court Newton Abott he is age 40 (again that fits) from Truro Cornwall.
That is as far as I have been able to go. I have not found Francis on the 61 or 51 census. I have also searched the very good parish record transcripts held by the CFHS in Truro.
So where is Francis and just where was Thomas born? There are enough parishes in and around Truro and Redruth to make a wide ranging search.
I now need some additional direction or suggestion to find some light in the tunnel.
