I'm getting confused!

Your first post says that Thomas Burke married Mary Louisa Frances Tennes in 1849 but both Isle of Wight records and FreeBMD show her name as Maria Timmichi/Tinnuchi.

The 1870 marriage record in London gives the name Maria Louisa F Tinnuchi.

Surey 2 sisters wouldn't be named Mary Louisa F. and Maria Louisa F?

The Mary A in 1871 has a POB of Fernsoch, Nairn or Ross-shire. Looks as if Mary b Edinburgh has died and Thomas remarried?

The Mary L F Tinnuche was another sister born in France c1852. She married John Joyce Homewood. A confusing family to say the least...I believe the 1861 census says she was born Frognal not France!

So Bartolemy was born IOW 1847 and Maria Louisa Frognal (near Hampstead) in 1852

Also, Janet/Jessie is shown as Head in 1861 but not widowed?

Re your question as to names. The whole thing is a conumdrem. Joseph Tinnis married Janet Riva in Scotland and had 3 children. Joseph Tinnis Mary Tennes and Paul Tinnis. They moved to Northumberland where Matthew Tinnis was born. He died using the surname Tinnucci. They then moved to Dover where Angelina was born with the same surname. Moving to the Isle of Wight my Great Grand Father was born but the registered surname was Tinichea but he was married using the surname Tennuci and used that throughout his life. On the IoW the surnames Tinnis Tennes, Tinichea and Tennuci were used on various documentation

The key person to all of this is the mother Jesse Riva aka Janet. On all documentaion apart from Census records her surname is used. On the 1841 census in Dover they are recorded as FINNIS but this is a bad transcription.
There are infact approx 29 variations of the surname.

I don't understand why someone would be baptised as Tennes but married as Tinuche/ Timmuchi/Tinnuchi?

Alan

Alan Report 16 Feb 2013 00:38

Thomas did marry Mary Tinnuche [correct spelling] although she was baptised as Tennes. I will evaluate the above. Many thanks for your advice and research

Puzzled as to why the poster says the Scottish census is not on Ancestry.

The transcriptions are for 1841 to 1901 but not the images. You need Scotlandspeople for the images

I cannot find any marriage of a Thomas Burke to the lady you mention.

In fact I can find no record at all of a Mary Louisa Frances Tennet.

You will need the birth certificate of a relevant child to determine the mother's maiden name. Do you have that? You have to work backwards from what you know if you are to research properly.

It would appear so!
I think Margee may have identified the correct couple who married in 1849 Isle of Wight
