According to the 1901 both John and Minnie were born in Sancreed Cornwall which is in the Penzance area. In the 1891 census we have a Minnie Opie who was born in Peranworthal which is in the Truro area and another who is working as a Servant in Compton Gifford Plymouth and was born in a place called Gevennch Cornwall according to Ancestry but I can't make out from the original what it is but am I right to assume it is this Miinie who you think ended up with John? Do you have either of the children's birth certificates to confirm that her maiden name was Opie? I will post Maud's below.
