NOTE

I not sure if William died at sea on a Vessell or he died at Falmouth, Cornwall ???

He was probably at sea during the 1851 census as Catherine was living with her parents at 9 Union Place, Limehouse, London, Middlesex. Later, William & Catherine were living with his father at Church, Falmouth, Cornwall in 1861.

Catherine, now a widow, is recorded at Church St., Falmouth, Cornwall in 1871. She was recorded as 'Kate' & her occupation a 'Monthly Nurse'.

Catherine immigrated to the United States c 1881* & is recorded living at Salt Lake City Ward 2, Salt Lake, Utah in 1900 with Niece, Mary Ann Blaisdell & sister Ann Hocking Perry.

* The only Catherine Truscott I found in the New York Passenger Lists arrived at the Port of New York 27.4.1881 on the Ship, Wyoming. Although, this list records her as 'wife', so I'm not sure.

The 1910 census records 'Caroline' living in the same area with her sister, Ann H. Perry & 'brother-in-law', Robert W. Beck.
