John Williams isn't exactly an easy name to trace, especially when you haven't told us anything about him at all!

So, for other benefit, here is the 1901 census:
Class: RG13; Piece: 2100; Folio: 191; Page: 68
Kimberley Street, Plymouth, Devon

Williams, John  Head  M  31  General Labourer  b Sancreed, Cornwall
Williams, Minnie  Wife  F  29  b Sancreed
Williams, Maud  Daughter  F  8  b Plymouth
Williams, Rosina  Daughter  F  2  b Plymouth

John must have died between the 1901 and 1911 censuses?

If you search for Rose Ina (2 names!!) in 1911, you can find her with mother Minnie.

There are 15 John Williams deaths in Plymouth alone, between 1901 and 1911!

thanks for that deaths starange no sign of him before 1901

My thoughts are that neither of them came from Sancreed itslef, but maybe somewhere close?

I searched the Sancreed baptisms (Cornwall OPC), but no John Williams!

Interesting possibility?
Baptism at Stithians, 31st March 1872
Rosina Opie, daughter of Edward & Mary Ann.
Residing at Crellow; father a Publican and Parish Clerk
