All children born Exeter.

my cousin said she had got it from another record, possibly a census. i will email her later, she will be at work in vancouver right now, and ask her where she got it from. i think she and i have been searching for the wrong place entirely. will put it back on here when i hear from her. thanks to all involved in this. you're amazing.xxx

ok, just spoken to my cousin on msn. a few crossed wires here between her and me. this is it: george and harriet were born and married in exeter june `1871. according to the 1891 census, a couple of their children (one one of whom is frank langdon who was my cousins grand father) were born in tilbury essex and the rest born in colebrook devon. because we couldnt find franks birth cert (because of the tilbury connection) we were looking for his fathers information and trying to match it up to frank . all that said, we still cant find a birth for frank in tilbury as stated on the 1891 census

I can't find them in 1891 but this is the 1901

I did'nt know there was a Frank but have looked at this census now. Frank is a Harness Maker. Mucking is quite near Tilbury and Stanford Le Hope. I wonder why they went to Essex where Harriet had Frank?? Interesting. They are back in Devon on the 1901.

i dont know. it is all so confusing and even now, i'm not convinced the info i have is correct. because my cousin is in canada, i havent got the stuff in front of me to read it for myself. i know that the people who took the census often made errors but i wish they didnt!!!!

I think the birth registration for Frank is the correct one as the Orsett registration district covers all the places in Essex mentioned as his birthplace.

Christine

thank you all so much. i will pass all this on to my cousin. i am sooo at a loss now to know which frank is the right frank. i must check where my cousins information came from. but i think the orsett registration is correct. (i hope). thank you all again.xxxx
