Your first example shows that someone, somewhere in the English-speaking world, combined the two Latin roots - in a different form than currently used. That doesn't mean that the word was picked up and actually used in practice. The OED is full of orphan citations like it - it's understood that they're doing linguistic archeology - not listing the beginning of regular practice.

Hirchfield - whom I cited above - predates your second citation. His book was published in 1910.

Hirschfeld, M. (1910/1991). Transvestites: The erotic drive to cross dress.([M. A. Lombardi-Nash, Trans.) Buffalo, NY: Prometheus Books.

Can you cite some references from 19th Century literature? Actually, I doubt you'll find it used outside the medical literature much before 1950.
