Is there anybody in Devon who can find any information on Arthur Watts for me please. In particular I am looking for his death!!!
I know he married Elizabeth Bond c 1790 in Paignton and they had two daughters Elizabeth and Mary, After that the trail goes cold!!!!

So your thinking is that he has died between birth of last daughter & 1841 census?

I guess you'll need to go to the parish records for that.
