The trade directory for 1914 gives Mrs Hannah Stribley as a shopkeeper in Vicarage Road Mrs Mary Helena Stribley as a shopkeeper in Vicarage Road and Miss Susan Stribley as a Stationer and Post Office in Churchtown, St Agnes. The Wesley Chapel has a tablet which mentions - Thomas Stribley, who died at Churchtown 1885 Mary Stribley died Churchtown 1883 George Herbert Stribley died Churchtown 1907 and Harry Stribley who died at Stenalees 1942 This info from the GenUKI page for St Agnes.

I wonder if Thomas was first married to a Susan? Found this marriage whic happears to be him - 29 Jun 1854 Thomas Stribley and Susan Peters. Parents Henry Stribley (Miller) and Thomas Peters (farmer) Seems possible since in 1861 there is a young girl named Susan living as a granddaughter with Elizabeth Peters in Goonown and aged 6. No sign of Thomas around the area, so seems possible. There is a death in 1855 for a Susan - Mar qtr 1855 Truro 5c 149

I knew wife No2 was a Mary, and the most likely FreeBMD entry was Dec qtr 1855 which had a Mary Angwin in it. A quick look at the 1861 census shows the Angwins had the shop on Vicarage Road which is later run by Thomas and his wife Mary... So Mary Angwin it is - although I didn't find their marriage in the St Agnes Parish Marriage register!
