Find Ancestors

Any kind person out there could find info on Francis Shorney 1851 born Over Liscombe Devon would be grateful thanks .
Married Sarah Williams .

What are you trying to find out about him? Are you trying to go forwards or backwards? Which censuses do you need etc?

Don't know about Devon, but have found this:

I can't even see the marriage, but Godfrey has replied by pm


Trying to go backwards on Francis Sansom

So are we looking for Francis Sansom or Shornely?

Godfrey please click on reply at the top of this thread rather than use a pm as it helps all the others who are trying to help

Linda

Sorry Linda Its Francis Shorney
Godfrey

Godfrey, could do with some feedback on how valid all this is.
