Thank you Ozbird, just google earthed her address from the 1881 census and her great,great grandchild (my great aunt) lives about 3/4 of a mile away.

I'm off to bed now, when I get the birth cert of other children I will message you and tell you what her maiden name realy is Temple, Tempill, Tempil, Tempilly etc...

Lovely. It would be great to have that follow-up.

Gotta go & do some work now.

At least you're a little further along the track!

Ozi.

If that is the correct death registration for James that ozibird found, then it explains the name of the son born in 1843 in Devon!


I'd also love to hear what you finally find out about Eliza's surname!!
