Not seeing any Italian there but you never know :-)

ha ha - thanks so much-thats a great start - I can start looking in local newspapers now I have surnames and occupations

Rags and Cones ! oh no :-(

lol I liked the "cones" , it is bones on the image :-)

not any better!! - looks like times were tough for them :-( poor family - don't think i have anybody who had life easy in any direction in my family anywhere - they all go back to the same area of Exeter in every direction!

cant find Mary Jane and Elias' marriage -unless she was called Powlesland too! in 1890?
if you don't mind - does it say on 1911 how long theyve been married please?
