Hi ...Been having a look for Rose and Francis and have drawn a blank........but notice you refer to Francis as she......according to the 1861 census he is male...

have just checked and this does seem a bit early for mine-making her 5 by te census-and can find no death for a 1856 or 1859 Frances/Francis.very odd-unless she was so thin and undernourished she only looked like a toddler? will check baptisms next time I get chance as well. still makes no sense what happened to her though whatever age she was!!!

thats strange-it did't come up when I did it! maye I was too precise-I may have put in St Thomas in stead of Exeter-hanks very much I'll order the birth cert anyway-still don't know where she went though

thanks very much for your help

I didn't think so-as in police records around late 1870's she is named as Mary Ann Tapp-and was running a 'lodging house of sorts'(their words not mine!) with her sister susan as a 'Tapp' but I will look into that-thanks.

please can someone hepl me find out what happened to the children of Mary Ann Tapp. Cannot find deaths for them-and checked burials for that area-but can't find them again after this census. Not certain about Mary Ann either-other than she was close (possibyt too close!) to her brother, George Tapp and sister,Susan Tapp, -none of them married,but had 6 children between them.-no birth certs for any except twins born to Susan .
