Thanks Pollypocket, I hadn't found the 1841 census but I do have this Troke family back to the early 18th century. Its really his elusive wife that I am searching for. I'm sorry I didn't make myself very clear. I thought if I added any more info to my original post it would become just too confusing.
thanks again for your help

No I don't think so Ann. Most of the Trokes seem to come from Dorset but there doesn't appear to be a connection to my Devon Trokes, but thanks for looking. Jayne

I have been struggling with my TROKE gt grandparents for what seems like decades! Can anyone suggest a way forward.

I can't find a marriage for THOMAS TROKE and JANE?
Thomas was born 1835 in Exeter.

I have him on 1851 census with parents, can't find him in 1861.

1871 he is in Welshpool aged 36, wife Jane aged 35 and 3 children CAROLINE LUCY 5 born Oswestry,Salop MARY ELLEN 3 born Welshpool and GEORGE THOMAS 1 born Welshpool. Jane's entry is crossed out and "not at home" written over but I can't find her anywhere else.

I have the birth certificates for the 3 children and on each Jane's maiden name is different DIXON, DICKSON and DICKINSON
How do I look for a birth for her ?

They aren't on the 1881 census - my grandfather was born 1883 in France and on the 1891 they are in Newington, London but spelt Trooke and Jane's age is now 45 (when it should be 55!) Jane's birth place is given as Liverpool.

What a puzzle, can anyone think of a way forward, PLEASE?
