If you mean that Jane and Harriet were born in Sithney, Cornwall, then I can see no births for them in Helston.
Is this Sylvannus?
Sylvanus Trevail
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1891
Registration district: East Stonehouse
Inferred County: Devon
Volume: 5b
Page: 286
Have you looked to see if anyone else in genes has any of these ancestors in their trees, and so may be a relative?

Added:
wrong Sylvanus, parents Charles and Lucy.

This marriage, in West Bromwich?
Marriages Mar 1890
Grant Jane W. Bromwich 6b 815
SHEPHERD William Thomas W Bromwich 6b 815
xxx Trevaill Fanny Jane W. Bromwich 6b 815

Thelma this sounds like Sylvannus b. 1893 England .
It is him arriving in the U S in 1910 , he is travelling with Emily Elizabeth Skerry on this ship & he was residing in Canada ,
Am still trying to find his death , thinking he may have been killed in the 1st World War .
Thanks Margaret

Patchem , Jane & Harriet born in Sithney ,
Harriet approx 1827
Jane approx 1829
Harriet Hitchens married James Treaill 1855 Helston
Jane Hitchens married Thomas Williams ( b. 1826 , Wendron ) , not sure of date .
Thomas & Jane both died in Wendron , not sure of dates .
There is a date of a Jane Williams 's death...
Jul,Aug,Sept, 1913 - 85 yrs Redruth , think this is Jane Hitchens
There is a Thomas Reed married to Mary Ann Reed in the 1861 Cencus , both 28 , wondering if Mary Ann was a Hitchens , sister to Jane & Harriet as they had a sister Mary .
Thomas Reed & Mary Hitchens witnessed James & Harriet Trevaill's wedding certificate in 1855.
Cencus 1891 is correct about Thomas , Fannie & Thomas jnr .
Found today that Fannie Jane Trevaill ( married Thomas Williams , 1890 in England ) was an art teacher in Adelaide in the late 1880's , was still living in Adelaide till 1889 when she left for England & marriage to Thomas Williams , her 1st cousin .
Thanks Margaret
