Mollard - James and Maria

[Colin Rowledge]

The census reference states it was a hotel at 60, Chapel Street, Madron. No idea what the hotel was called though...

Under laundress I suspect was a basic position, working in the hotel laundry. Probably sorting and washing sheets etc. She is classed as a servant, so it won't be anything too exciting I expect!

Thanks

There was a slight typo in my original post. I believe James Piper's parents were either
James Piper and Ann Down - born 1783
or
John Piper and Mary Richards - born 1776

Both James and John were born in Germoe and may have been brothers.

Have I confused everyone?

The birth uears relate to Mr. Piper not the spouse

Just an add to Marks post, I googled Chapel Street Maldron, and found the Cornwall on-line census for 1881, it is interesting that the Laundress (Ellens boss) is a Mary A PIPER.

Hope this helps

Address should read Chapel Street MADRON, not Maldron!

Hi
I found the same reference in the 1881 crnsus but didn't 'cotton on to it'. Since Mary A. was aged 34 and unmarried [in 1881] that would make her born around 1845, could she have been a daughter of Maria's uncles or other relative?

Could someone check the 1851 census for this?

Thanks

Hi Colin, this looks like her in 1851 shown as daughter to James and Jane living in Germoe Cornwall aged about 8, shown with other siblings.

Hope this helps, any more info let me know.

I'm just coming back to this thread, and after re-reading the responses, i am a little confused. For me, this is not unusual!!

Maria was born mid-late 1815 in Germoe - cannot be certain as I have only a possibility of parents:
James Piper born Sept. 1783 in Germoe & Ann Down [date & place of birth unknown]

Maria's daughter [Ellen] on her 3rd marriage - to James Mollard - had a daughter that they called Ellen and was born December 8, 1859

I have determined that at the time of the 1881 census, Ellen Mollard was employed at a hotel in Penzance - the Union Hotel at 60 Chapel Street. In 1881 her occupation was 'Under-Laundress' and her mentor/supervisor was one Mary A. PIPER. aged 34 and unmarried.

Mary A. Piper appears to have been born around 1847. One possible link to her parents is James and Jane Piper [1851 census] with other siblings of [presumably Mary A.] and living in Germoe

I am not aware of siblings for James Piper so if I have the right parent for Maria, could there be a relationship between Maria Piper born c.1815 and Mary A. Piper born c.1847?

Thanks
