Pels, Welsh Lady,

Just a big thank you for looking so hard on my behalf.

I am at the age where I only have the occasional JUNIOR moment,
and have never done anything like this before.

Do please let me know if you turn up anything else.

I am sure I will be needing further help from this forum before too long.

My grateful thanks to you both. Time to eat.

Kindest regards
Mike

Here is Thomas - written as Thos, in 1891:

RG12/1783, folio 41, page 7

Devon, Merton

Potheridge Lodge

Thos Tanton, h. mar. 50, Wood Labourer, b. St. Giles on the Wood, Devon
Betsy, wife, 56, b. Chumleigh, Devon
Florence, dau. unm. 18, House Assist. Dom. b. St. Giles in the Wood, Devon   

I'm still working on the basis the more we know the better!

Pels  :) :)

Pels,
Again my thanks, what is it that makes you continue the search, and where do you look?
For me it is like a 'who dunnit'.  My problem as a novice is learning the ropes, so to speak.
Believe me every bit of todays info is safely tucked away on my hardrive, backed up, copied onto an external drive and backed up on there too.
I have been doing searches for a cousin, now in Australia, who shares my mums side of my tree, and have done quite well, but finding this forum has helped so much, that I wish I had found it sooner.
 
I have always felt that I would be a nuisance in asking for help, but here it is so freely given, that I don't feel so bad about it.

Many, many thanks.
If I can help you in anyway, you only have to ask.
Kindest regards.
Mike
