This couple's names have had various spellings  eg Colan Colen Mariana Marinea Tippitt Teppit. Also Marina's age seems varible. But all the census records below seem to be definitely them

Acknowledgement

Susan Old, the Online Parish Clerk for St Columb Major supplied a wonderful response to a query on Colen's baptism. She added three generations back, for someone who had been a very murky figure to us.

Research Notes

Mylor and Flushing are half a mile apart, near Falmouth, so the 1881 Census and IGI fit nicely
