Thanks Steph for all your help it has been much appreciated any chance you can see what year ernest was born and died ?

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page

SMITH Ernest James Tiverton 5b 425

Any good?

Do you know where he was born? There are rather a lot of Ernest J Smith.


Did you go and look at Carolines grave?
Maybe that would have her husbands name on the headstone.

Steph

Would Ernest have died in the same area as Francis and Caroline?

Once you get some certificates, Francis birth and Carolines marriage and you've got some ages etc to go on it should be easier.

My uncle did mention that Ernest was supposed to be buried at Huntsham as well

carolines grave didnt have a headstone but the lady in the church was letting me look at the buriel entries

Tom Drewe is shown as father-in-law

When you have the marriage cert it might help to show which of the above it is.

If you need more help then, post another query

thanks for that potty the sampford peverell one looks the closest as my uncle said we do tie in with that area as well so i think that may be the correct one

If Ernest J Smith is the father of Francis this is a possibility for death.

Sept Qtr 1953
Ernest J Smith aged 66
Tiverton
Vol 7a, page 624

Let me know how you get on when you've got the certificates. Hopefully these are the right ones.

Steph
