Hi avm228,

Thank you for looking at this and your help.

That burial of Joseph David confirms the death that Clair had found. It may be relevant that the child Ellen born in 1857 is living with relatives by 1861 when Joseph died.

The marriage of Thomas Henry looks possible. It would be nice to find him in 1871.

Your help and assistance is much appreciated.
Graham

As you have probably already discovered, in 1871 the family does not appear to be in the hamlet of Knackers Knowle enumerated at RG10/2109/36/1 and onwards.  I had thought they might be hiding there under a mistranscription.

Hi avm228, Thanks for looking. It is certainly a puzzle as to where they all went.

I am also struggling getting back along the line. I am fairly sure Thomas (1818) was born in Cornwood, Devon from the census and that his father was also a Thomas from his marriage to Jane FOX. However, I can not find anything convincing about the father.

Many thanks for your help and interest in this,
Graham
