John and Elizabeth Ann Short of South Molton

[alan w jones]

Hello , I wondered if anyone remembers a family living in South Molton called Short ? I am particularly interested in a John and Elizabeth Ann Short whose last address was 8 Artizan Dwellings , South Molton , they may have lived at 11 New Rd South Molton in 1911 .Any help would be much appreciated . I think they had 3 children Olive May born 1897 , Eliza Maud and Percy John { twins } born 1899 .
Regards
