I was wondering what happened to the son of David and Maria Couch. Here is his birth, and he had an extra name:
Name: COUCH, David Charles Frederic Registration district: Liskeard County: Cornwall Year of registration: 1862 Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Volume no: 5C Page no: 81 David seems to have used the name Frederick or Fred. He was Frederick on the 1871 with his family, and in 1881 he is Fred: 1881 Census COUCH, Fred UPPINGHAM, Rutlandhire RG11 piece 3188 folio 29 page 8 High Street, Uppingham He is an apprentice plumber with the Chapman family. In 1891 he and Mum Maria are together: 1891 Census COUCH, David C F BILLERICAY, Essex RG12 piece 1382 folio 47 page 49 6, Victoria Road, South Weald David is 28, unmarried, and a plumber.

It looks as if she is still single and a house servant in St Veep, Cornwall in 1861. (spelled Briant this time)

There seemed to be quite a few times in the program where Nigel was talking to himself about a finding, with no "expert" to put him right. Perhaps this is still less irritating than when there is an expert to hand, but they go along with the thoughts of the celebrity rather than suggesting other possible scenarios!

As Nigel headed west puzzled by the fact that Jonathan Couch took over the running of the mill following David's short tenure, I wondered why Nigel hadn't checked whether David had died.
He also demonstrated a lack of interest in the fates of the other people on the 1851 census. Nor did we check the 1841 census. Wish Nigel had reported back to Amanda and Tony, who seemed to have more interest in their respective family histories. |

Ann Cossentine, the grand daughter mentioned in 1851, is the daughter of Jenny Couch and Charles Cossentine.

I wondered if this Couch family had any association with Arthur Quiller Couch, the author.
He was born in the same area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Quiller-Couch |
