Hello again Nigel
I've been puzzling about your Cyril.
Have you got any more information about him at all -parents, etc.
I did a check of all Cyrils, b.c. 1885 South Africa on the 1901 census - no sign of him under anything remotely like that surname. However, there are three Cyrils born South Africa around that time on the 1901 English census:
25 Canterbury Street, Gillingham
RG13/735 Folio 122 Page 17
Cyril Rawbone, boarder, 20, shipwright apprentice, b. South Africa, Cape Colony
Piermont Avenue (Gainsboro?), Broadstairs
RG13/828 Folio 61 Page 9
Isabel Isaacs, hd, m, 44, living on own means, b. London
Cyril, son, 12, b. South Africa
David,son, 10, b. London,
Sylvia, dau, 3, b. London,
Jessie Davis, visitor, single, 30, b. London,
52 Alleyn Road, West Dulwich, Camberwell
RG13/492 Folio 74 Page 15/16
Edmund Heckrath, 52, retired diamond broker
Elizabeth, 50
Adolf, 24, clerk commercial
Frederika, 21, clerk commercial
Josephine, 20
Geraldine, 18
Cyril, 15, clerk commercial
all born South Africa
Louisa Moore, servant, 21, b. Dublin
There are some older and much younger ones but none in Devon. One of two in Cornwall. It might have been school holidays as well - 31st March 1901.
The last one, Heckrath, is the best match on age but, unless he decided to change his name (I'm thinking of WW1 and anglicisation of foreign sounding names in UK), he doesn't really fit.

Hi Nigel
The only thing that I can think is that, if his parents were out of the country, he might have been with them. It could well have been Easter holidays - Easter Sunday was on the 7 April in 1901 (Good Friday on 5th) and the census was taken on 31st March.
