You will need to narrow it down as much as possible with such a common name. When do you last know he was alive?

I can't a find a birth in Exeter for a Thomas William Smith between 1872 and 1874. Only two in Devon - March 1872 St Thomas and 1874 Barnstaple. St Thomas is much nearer to Exeter than Barnstape.

Well roomer is that he jumped off the Eiffel Tower Paris when he`s wife Ellen left him. Childens names Ellen 1908,
Thomas 1909 Fredrick 1910. That is all i have.

Carla Report 3 Aug 2010 22:53

Barnstaple is North Devon and on the opposite coast to Exeter (which is South Devon).
I'm sorry, I have no idea where to look for deaths in France, maybe someone else can help.
