1911 help to search please ASAP

[lozaras]

I was about to put my MFMM on the new toggg thread and realised that although she died in 1931 I hadn't got her, or her husband, on the 1911 census.

So I toddled off to look - and just as well, my 70 credits run out in 2 days :eek:

But I can't find either of them - I have to admit that I haven't done any census searches for ages so am pretty rusty (FTM does the searches for you ;))

Can anyone have a go please?

Elizabeth Luscombe TARR (née WILLCOCKS)
born 1846 Denbury, Devon
died 1931 South Knighton, Ilsington, Devon
census 1871-1901 she was in Ilsington

or her husband
Peter TARR
born 1845 Bickington, Devon
died 1923

Mmmmmmmmmm.
playing hard to get

Taken me ages to find the 1881 for ref- they are well mis-spelled!

[lozaras]

Thanks for looking Jess - I've been trying for an hour and I haven't come near either of them
*sobs quietly*

Oh, I just noticed, in 1901 - she said she was born in West Ogwell

They were still in Ilsington in 1902 - I've got their daughter's marriage cert

[Margaret in Burton]

Haven't had any luck so far

I can't find them at all, even with an address search. :(

[lozaras]

Thanks - well the good news for me then is that they really are being difficult and it's not just me that can't find them :D

Why on earth does he not come up in the search?? I started going through the children and there he was!

Where is Elizabeth - I bet she is with one of the other children!

Just for the record, Caroline Cocks and family are still in the Newton Abbot area in 1911:

The Cocks were in Newton Abbott in 1911 with Dau Violet May age 12

* cross posted with Elizabeth

[ElizabethHerts]

It looks as though Edith Annie might have died as George Williams is "brother-in-law" with her sister Florence Williams.

Yes, she died in Dec qr 1908 in Newton Abbott district, aged 35.

ooo - thanks everyone - I'll run off to the 1911 site now to nab those census copies before my credits go up in a puff of blue smoke!

[lozaras]

Phew - I've just finished my credits with 2 hours 17 minutes to spare!!! I still haven't got her though :(

I started looking for her with her siblings.

I'll have to get some more credits now but her youngest brother (William b1858) was living with her for a couple of censi (sp?) so she may be with him. Especially as I've found him on the 1891 as the Innkeeper of The Jolly Sailor in Bickington.
