Robert,

I have seen that 1891 census record, but there doesnt seem to be any other information. How do i link her to Jonathan Bruce?

I've just tried an IGI search for you but nothing found on your Mabel. Do you know if there is a Caribbean connection?

There are also a lot of Walronds in Devon and Somerset on the IGI

The problem is that i dont know her birth place. There must be details somewhere of her marriage to Jonathan Bruce

Mabels huband Jonathan Bruce was killed in action in 1914.

Found their marriage:

Jonathan Maxwell Bruce 1905 Jul-Aug-Sep Kingston Middlesex, Surrey

The marriage index for you:

Jonathan Maxwell Bruce

Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

So is walrond a middle name, and Trengrouse the last name ?

I would say so. Trengrouse is a West Country sounding name and it is possible that her parents came from there. Along with all the Walronds in that area you might find that her mother's maiden name was Walrond.

Thank for your help Robert

Its been a real pleasure. Thank you for staying on and helping with the search

Happy hunting

the Mabel Walrond on 1891 census may be a mistranscription or enumerator error.
Mabel Walrond Trengrouse shows on 1881 & 1901 census b 1880 - also birth reg (see freebmd)

just realised 1881 & 1891 have different parents
have you got the birth cert of one of her children - it would confirm her name

It mentions Eliza Walrond who I imagine must be Mabel Trengrouses grand mother on her mothers side.

Christopher

If you look at the 1901 census you will see that Eliza B Walrond c1822 is described as 'mother-in-law'.

Mabel's father, Henry Trengrouse c1842 was born in Helston, Cornwall. So it looks as if my thoughts about the West Country link are confirmed

By the way, yet another mistranscription on Ancestry: your Mabel was born in Putney - there is no such place as Patney!

The husband of Eliza B. Walrond never seems to be mentioned . Eliza B. always seems to mentioned as HEAD on all the censuses. There is a death index showing Eliza died in 1904 and the B stands for Bell.
