Devereux, Portsea, 1841

[Phoenix]

How on earth are they transcribed?

There should be (at the least) Mary b 1831. All I can find, on Find My Past, is the family of William in St Mary St. But I think there should be more.

Looking on Ancestry at transcriptions ending in eux there's:

George 45 painter
Mary 45
mary Ann 20

at Union Road Portsea, but I'm not sure what their surname actually is - begins with D!

Thanks, Elizabeth & Merry. Mary Ann is, I think a Devereux - d/o of George & Elizabeth.

William Devereux has a child Miriam with him, but she looks like a daughter, not a neice, and he's in Portsmouth, not Portsea.

I am researching the Devereux name from Gloucestershire and have seen it transcribed as Debrux and Debrooks as well as the more usual Devereaux.
