Sorry not much good at this ... so would that then tie in the Thomas Rice Stewart born in 1879?

my grandad William Charles Stewart was Thomas's son .. and he was born in looe street Plymouth ..

James P Stewart unmarried 18 Fishermans Assistant  looks like he was an apprentice to William ? a Fish Merchant and Smack Owner

living at 12 southside street? plymouth


HO107/1879/813/19        1851 Census

[billybob]

looks like it from the entry tazzie found and the entry I found with Ciceley and Mary A  as daughters think we have the right thomas but not sure where the Rice comes frombut having said that have only found 1 entry with Pitts on it.

   Kirsty...

   Yes your Thomas appears as a 2 year old on the 1881 census. no middle initial given but only Thomas stewert / Stewart b 1879 + or - 2 years in Devon.

  Billybob has now gone back with same family Elizabeth (mother ) and James ( father)  James is a fisherman in all census '.

 They even lived in Looe St throughout so I would say it all point to your family..
