My ancestor was born in Ashcombe, Devon, but spent most of his life living in Manaton or Lustleigh. Wreyland Cottages in Lustleigh (although on the census it's down as being in Manaton) and Water Cottage in Manaton in 1901. His death certificate from 1921 shows him as dying at number 62 east street, wolborough, newton abbot. When I google this address though, I don't really find anything. Is there a site I can check? What sort of info could I find? Thanks PS _ also looking for info on the cottages - have been to both villages today but finding it hard to find info apart from what I have on the census!

62 East Street is Newton Abbott Hospital. Makes sense. Rose

ah - a hospital - that's what i was wondering, wonder who the informant was then, if that was given as his residence to. my ancestor was Frederick Pudner, died 1921. (b1837) Thanks :) Laura

Laura, If, as you say, you have the death certificate then the informant's name should be on there. Peter
