Samuel Harris,a tailor,born around 1825.

[gracol]

In the 1871 census he was living in Plymouth with his wife Catherine and children,both stating being born inLaunceston Cornwall.
In the 1881 census he was living in Deal Kent having remarried.
I recently posted a topic under Kent "William Harris of Deal",his second wife leaving him in 1881.
I cannot find a record of his wife Catherine's death,presumably between 1871 and 1881.
I found a death for a Samuel Harris in Bideford Devon District,age 86,born 1825,buried 1911.
I cannot find anything about him between the 1881 census and his death in 1911 and wonder if he returned to Devon or Cornwall after 1881?
I found a 1841 census record for Dawlish Devon showing a George Harris 18 Tailor and Samuel Harris 16,both born Devon.A bit strange ?
Any help greatly appreciated,including any records between 1841 and 1871.

There's a Samuel in Northam on the 1911 census. Born Appledore, living with daughter Angelina Rees

Working back he lives in the area all his life, is an ag lab and was married to Elizabeth

So I guess not your man

I don't usually look at other people's trees, but apparently this death was registered by Ann Mary Gibbings, his
daughter.
