This looks as though it could be Albert and Maria's marriage registration:-


Marriages Sep 1892 (>99%)

CHANNON Maria Truro 5c 234
Hitchens Albert Truro 5c 234

I wonder if Albert was married before??

Mabel is 21, this marriage occurred in 1894, and the other children are much younger than Mabel.

Could this be Joseph's birth registration? It's the only one that shows up between 1900 and 1905, and it is in the right area!!!!

Births Mar 1900 (>99%)

Hitchens Joseph Henry St. Austell 5c 110
