It's always worth subscribing (free) to the rootsweb mailing list for Devon.

As well as the Devon FHS CDs being useful, many parishes in Devon now have online parish clerks (OPCs).

Sorry maths was really never a good subject for me when i was at school!! i appoligise, If their birth dates differ on cencus which ones are to be used then, do you know, and yes i will look on that site for the cd. Linda

Hi Pete this is really great of you to do this for me thank you so much for this help it is much apriciated

Linda,

check your maths. The years of birth that you have given for John and Elizabeth look wrong.

In the 1851 census John is 69 = born c 1781
Elizabeth is 63 so born c 1788

and in the 1841, John is 58 = born c1783
Elizabeth is 51 so c 1790

Check the Devon FHS website for the CD info
