    Default Truan/Truran

    Elizabeth Truan born 1856 at Gerrans and a daughter of Peter and Eliza Truan/Truran had 2 illegitmate daughters. Edith was born in 1885 in Manchester and Eliza was born in 1889 in the Truro Union Workhouse where Elizabeth and Eliza were living at that time.
    I have found Elizabeth's 1934 death on Cornwall opc but I haven't found where Edith and Eliza disappeared to.
    In 1901 Edith was in the St Winnow Public Institution in Bodmin and in 1901 Eliza was with her mother in the Truro Union workhouse.
    In 1911 Elizabeth was a servant on a farm at Calendra Ruan Highlanes Truro.
    I have searched high and low using all spellings of the surnames but I can't find the 2 daughters anywhere.

    It does seem to be Edith. Looking at the original census I suppose that the surname can be mistaken for Louis and that is the difficulty when transcribing.
    That just leaves Eliza in 1911. Goodness knows what surname she will have if she appears. May be she was married by then.

    Still searching and am wondering if she left the county,married or emigrated.
