        There is nothing clearcut in Ancestry, but it looks very likely that Eliza Penny's death was associated with childbirth

Penny, not Renny - Input from Paul Julian

    Eliza Julian's birth certificate shows her mother's maiden name as "Penny". (Her death certificate in Victoria shows her mother's maiden name as "Renny", but that is obviously an error - L Rowley). I have just received a marriage certificate for William Julian and Elizabeth Penny. It gives their marriage as March 24th 1842 in Liskeard, Cornwall. It shows Williams father as William Julian a Blacksmith, and Elizabeth's father as James Penny a Husbandsman.
    This tallies nicely: Lockard in the 1851 census below is Liskeard. Blacksmith fits with William(snr)'s profession of Farrier in the 1841 census

1841 Census

William Senior - Churchtown, Roche
William JULIAN           55       Farrier
Elizabeth JULIAN        50
Robert  JULIAN            20

Joseph JULIAN              10
Elizabeth  JULIAN         11
This is the parents of William (b 1815) - brother Joseph is the link to the 1851 family of William Jnr.
In 1841, William jnr is a carpenter in Gossmoor, St Columb Major (Susan Old).- though I cant find him in Ancestry(LR)
Both William and Joseph check in the LDS as part of this family. Joseph was christened in 1831 in Roche, William in Roche in 1815, parents William and Elizabeth.

William Henru Julian is a very common name. Intriguingly did find William Penny Julian which is a vague fit

Thanks to Susan Old, Online Parish Clerk for St Columb Major, who confirmed partsof our tree, and added new information. I was not completely confident  of the four wives, but they stood up to her checking

Research Notes


Note Elizabeth Thomazina Julian b 1845, (note on file, died 1846) is not our Eliza.
    One disconcerting contact was John Matthews in Genes Reunited. He hasWilliam  Julian, b 1815 Roche, who also married an Elizabeth. However the continuity of address in the census from 1841 to 1891  looks solid.. So I will stick with the story as laid out above.

Research Notes on William Julian's Parents

    Paul Julian has Elizabeth Liddicoat as his mother, from a marriage at Roche in 1804. This is not in LDS, but was obtained from the parish records, and looks the best bet?  See the Roche OPC website. There is an alternate marriage for William (snr) and Elizabeth - a marriage in 1807 at Lusculyan, four miles ESE of Roche to Elizabeth Roach. But their children are quite probably the ones being born in Lanlivery, a mile or so from Luxulyan. Finding the Liddicoat family in the 1851 census removes the last doubts

Follow up on these four wives after Susan Old's suggestions

1874 2Q William Julian m Elizabeth Pearce in St Columb (5C157) - Free BMD Index
            (1871 Census Elizebeth Pearce b 1816 Roche is living with husband John in Roche
              can't find a death for John Pearce that matches prior to 1874 but the census match for Elizabeth is good
              cannot find either John or Elizabeth Pearce in the 1881 Census, which makes sense)
            1878 3Q Elizabeth Julian dies St Columb aged 55 (5C60) - Free BMD Index (*** Furphy see below)
1881 Census  Elizabeth Julian (b Roche aged 65)

***Furphy - For a while I thoiught there was a fifth wife, but the 1874 marriage/1881 Census//1887 death/1888 remarriage all tie together neatly
