I'm trying to locate the Smith family who lived in Crediton, Devon and might appear on the 1901 census. They lived on The Green and in particular Vincent, Gilbert and Conan

Do you have some birth years for this Smith family?

This is from the 1911 census and all the names you mention were born after 1901 so none of them will be on there.

HOUSEHOLD SMITH GILBERT M 1906 5 Crediton Devonshire
HOUSEHOLD SMITH HARRY JOHN M 1901 10 Crediton Devonshire
HOUSEHOLD SMITH LOUISA F 1882 29 Crediton Devonshire
HOUSEHOLD SMITH VINCENT M 1910 4 MONTHS Crediton Devonshire
HOUSEHOLD SMITH CONAN M 1903 8 Crediton Devonshire

Thank you so much Christine in Portugal. This has filled a huge gap in my friend's family tree. This is definitely the family she is researching.

Are you able to find an address for the Smith family and the Burridge family, please? For either census. Thanks.

Hi Christine,

The address for Louisa in 1901 looks like Mt Pleasant, Park St.

To find the address in 1911 you will need to buy credits to look at the transcription, the details I found were just from a free search.

Oh that's great, thank you. I think the idea is to go backwards rather than forwards with this family history so it won't be necessary to look any further into the 1911, but thanks for the tip.
