William Stratton of Hayle, 1851 Census

[PeterW]

Hi Kris,

Thanks for taking the time to track down the Strattons from Hayle. I've been racking my brain for the past 4 years trying to figure out how the Strattons suddenly appeared in Swansea. It's now quite apparent that they all went by Trathen/Trathem/Tratham when they  lived in Hayle but eventually changed over to Stratton after they moved to from England to Wales.

I've already have been able find new links to various relatives based on the information you provided. Once again, my hat goes off to you!

You are very Welcome Peter, always enjoy a good challenge. I had tried everything I could think of and basically decided they were not anywhere in England or Wales. Then yesterday, a bit bored, I thought I would try again, still no go so off to Wales 71 and armed with with a few more names and ages from the 71 and was pleased to find the elusive devils. It suddenly twigged when I kept finding people of right name in Phillack that Hayle listed as Phillack for certain things. At least this name change is a good lead for you now with all being Tratham or like in 51. Perhaps you can now progress....Glad to have helped.....Best wishes with it.....Kris
