OCCU a milliner
1841 census says she was not born in Cornwall. As sister Louisa was baptised in the Tavistock Wesleyan Chapel it is possible that Caroline was also born in Devon.At the time of her marriage in 1845 she lived at Blights Row in Redruth.
Ruth Hunt has learned from the family that they went to Spain in line with John's employment and that John and his son, of 2 years of age, returned to Cornwall following her death. This does not tie in with her date of death and his employment record. It is more likely that John, Caroline and John jnr left Corwall in 1848 for John to work in WIRM, which may have been based in Plymouth rather than Southampton as this is to where he returned after his time spent in Spain. Whilst in Plymouth (Stoke Dameral area) Caroline died.
John William is listed in the 1851 census aged 4 years and living at 26 Fords Row, Redruth with his grandmother, Margery Skewes an Annuitant & Engineer's wife. His grandather John Skewes and two uncles were already in South Australia.

The script in the parish register is difficult to read and other transcribers have interpreted Gyles as Bybyes Repper marrying Thamsen on 28th May 1565. The reference to Bybyes can be seen incorrectly on the International Genealogical Index.
At the time of her marriage Thamsen is described as a servant of William Godolphin, Knight. She would have worked at Godolphin House at Godolphin Cross.
Alice is the daughter of John (d1616) who gave her one heifer in his 1615 will.
