if you can, take a look at the 1881 census. they are living in crediton. its george langdon born 1846 wifes name is harriet. see what you make of the writing. it def looks like tilbury exeter to me. and my cousin has seen it on other census as tilbury essex.

There is a Tedburn St Mary in Devon not far from Exeter. I live in Devon.

previous census says they were born in tilbury essex. telbury in exeter doesnt exist, nor has it ever. i phoned the registrars department in exeter yesterday.

can anyone help please?? tring to find the birth and marriage of george langdon.supposedly born around 1846. its all a mystery. the 1881 census shows that he and his wife harriet and their children were all born in exeter telbury (or tilbury) BUT there is no such place in devon. at that time the family were living in crediton, devon. earlier census shows tilbury essex. I have searched and searched and cant find his birth anywhere in either exeter or essex nor his marriage. its like he doesnt exist. but finding that information is the only way of knowing where he was born and married. and who his parents were. its all driving me nuts!!!!
