It is known from the 1851 Census that John married someone called Elizabeth. A search of the marriage registration index for the marriage of William Osborne gave a registration in the second quarter of 1848 in the St Columb district. Only one Elizabeth - Elizabeth Floyd - was recorded on the register page. Thus it is evident that John married Elizabeth Floyd.

Marriage:
1860 (age 35-36)
Address: St Columb Minor, Cornwall
It is known from the 1861 Census that he married someone called Ellen after the death of his first wife in 1857. A search of the marriage indexes in FreeBMD did not contain an Ellen, only a Catherine Dyer and a Helen Harris. As the names Helen and Ellen are phonetically similar it is concluded that the marriage registration was made in the name of Helen Harris. Whether this was a transcripAt first this showed that his marriage was registered in the second quarter of 1860 in the St Columb district. However, the transcript of the index for register entries is incomplete in both FreeBMD and FMP so Ellen is not listed. Also there is no register entry transcript in FamilySearch and FMP so it has not been possible to determine Ellen's surname or exctly where thay married. However, as William was living and working in St Columb Minor (Newquay) both before and after his marriage it is virtually certain that he and Ellen married there.
