Would someone please have a look for a 1911 census record for John and Adelaide Harrison in Plymouth, Devon. John born 1862 Plymouth, Adelaide Harrison born 1865 Plymouth. Children Violet born 1887, Harriet 1889, Daisy 1892, John 1896. I know Daisy married in 1913 so she may still have been at home. Trying to find out when John and Adelaide died.

Taking into consideration his occupation in 1901...."Blacksmith Royal Navy"

This might be him...

Struggling to find Violet

I can't see a birth registered for her under that name..........Perhaps Violet is her middle name?

Do you know John senior's exact year of birth?

just looking at the original on fmp

looking at the 1891 census fmp have Harriet as being 12, I think it actually says 2, also the E doesn't look the same as the other E on the page, to me it looks more like a V

could Harriet really be Harriet Violet rather than Harriet E****?

or have you found Violet somewhere on the 1891?

Address: 48, Richmond Street, Plymouth

HARRISON, Adelaide Wife Married F 27 1864 Plymouth, Devonshire
