Hi Vickie

I can see this family on the 1901 Census, do you have details??  Did you want Frances and Ernest pre or post 1901?

Cheers

any and all info on this family please...they have been a bit hard to track down because of always only looking for them in Cornwall...I believe Frances was born in Northumberland about 1879 in Earsdon....
thanks for your help

Hi

On the 1871, Jessie SHEARS is in service on the farm of Thomas and Mary JONES, Higher Methwill, Calstock Cornwall.  She is aged 12, born Cornwall Calstock.

No sign of Samuel snr on 1871 or 1881.  Maybe he was down the mine.

Hope that I got everyone. Please let me know if there is anyone I forgot or anyone else you want checked up on.,


Cheers
