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

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

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

Tom Drewe is shown as father-in-law

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

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

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.

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

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

Hi Jennie,

Sorry I haven't got access to the 1901 census.
Put up another thread asking someone to look at the census for you.

Any BMD's I can willingly find.

Steph

would it be too much to ask for you to let have the names etc in the 1901 census for Ernest and caroline much appreciated

Here is Carolines death

Sept Qtr 1943
Caroline Smith aged 53
Tiverton
Vol 5b, Page 386

In case you want to get the certificate.

thanks you have been a great help Steph much appreciated

GRO is the General Register Office.

Just google GRO and you'll see.

could you tell me what GRO stands for sorry but new to all of this

No dont know his fathers name was told he was buried there as well but only looked up to the buriel dates to about 1968 one of the ladies of the huntsham church was letting me look in all the old records they had wished i had carried on looking after 1968 as he may have died later on

You can send off for one online.

You'll find the information on the GRO website.
