I have another small mystery here.
I'm trying to find out what happened to my second gt aunt (sister of my gt gt grandfather) Frances Burrough, and her children. I have traced Frances all through the census records from 1841 (at age 10 - she was born in 1832) right up to 1891 (transcript says age 41 although she was actually 59).
In 1871 Francis Burrows is listed as living in Newton Poppleford, Aylesbeare parish with the children Ellen, James & Edward.

Head
James Burrows
aged 11

In the 1881 census she is listed in Aylesbeare parish as Fany Borrows with Ellen & Edward.
Fany BORROWS
Head Widowed
age 49
born Ottery St Mary, Devon, England
occupation Silk Throwing
Ellen BORROWS
Daur Unmarried
Age 24
Born Ottery St Mary
Occupation Silk Throwing
Edward BORROWS
Son Unmarried
age 14
born Ottery St Mary
Occupation Silk Throwing
Although Frances says she was a widow, I actually dont believe that she was ever married.
In 1891 Frances was living in Axminster with her sister Sarah Foxwell.
Where are James & Edward? Can anyone find James in 1881 and either James or Edward in 1891 and 1901 census record? OR their death registration if they died.
I've looked and looked and cant seem to find anything.
Thanks
BD
