Thanks Kath-I've been given the mariage of the Parents in 1868 and have them on 1881 with other children-but not Elziabeth-and am just trying to find them all together to make sure they are the right family!
Thanks Claire-Thats very likely her just before she married in Exeter.HHHmm! Just need to find her in 1891 still-Thanks-I'll keep looking she's probably a typo




This is 1881 -the others-Hoping to find any of them in 1891 with her. Thanks for all help

Thanks anyway-Have had a look for them in 1891 but they all seem to have disappeared! I'll have to geth ehr marriage cert to be sure of the parents names-what a pain!

I've checked all of Cheriton Fitzpaine (only 4 pages) & they aren't there.
By 1891 son Robert had left home & was living in Stockleigh Pomeroy. The family must have lived there as this is where daughter Rosa was born c1893.
I've also checked all of Stockleigh Pomeroy & the only remotely possible is a caravan on the roadside containing 4 females & 4 males all unnamed.
I don't think this is them.

How strange-Thanks very much for looking for me-They must have gone visiting somewhere! I've checked deaths for Fanny and Samuel but nothing in that area so must have moved.At last I know I've not missed them.Vickie x

Kathleen may have found 1891 - no Elizabeth. Though he's a railway signalman & Emma Harold is his sister-in-law. Does this make sense?

Ozi.

Thanks Claire-Had given up whileyou were still hunting for me-Thanks very much. I have just had confirmation from the relative that she Has Elizabeths birth cert which names her parents as Fanny and Samuel and that all fits with the names and dates given so Sounds good-Thanks very much for all your help.
