Find Ancestors

Trying to find Samuel Gillard born c 1890 (as of 1901 census) with parents Fanny and Samuel. The only likely birth I can find for him is of a 'Samuel Brown Gillard' registred at Okehampton,Devon.- In 1901 they are in Heavitree,Exeter Devon and previously in 1881 they were at Cheriton Bishop,Devon. I Have tried to find Fanny and Samuel before in 1891 without sucsess but wondered due to the 'Brown' bit in Samuels name whetehr they were listed under that? Just another thought if anyone can help me find baby Samuel it might just help-Thanks. (Other children would be John George Elizabeth/Lucy and Sidney)

For reference...

Yes-Most of the children seem to be registred at Crediton-but the only two Samuels for 1890 are Plymouth and Okehampton.Okehampton isn't that far away really-no Further than Heavitree in 1901 anyway! Thanks for trying to help me -Its so frustrating.

Hurrray-Thats them-Someone even did the who;e of Cheriton Fitpaine or me the other evening-and still couldn't find them-Thanks so much-Yes thats defo them asSamuel is a Carpenter and Fanny/Tanny was born at Broad clist-Many Many thanks.

The fact that the 1901 census gives the date of birth as 1890 means that he was actually far more likely to have been born in 1889.
The census of 1901 was taken on 31st March. a child who was 11 could have been born from 1st April 1899 to march 30th 1890 and he would still be 11 on that census

Possibly registered as Ernest Samuel in Crediton in Sep 1888? Nicola's post has him as aged 2. The death registration for Ernest Samuel refers to the one born in Lambeth; although there is an Ernest living with mum Hannah, he appears to have been registered simply as Ernest.

Yes Thanks Linda-I see theres an extra Child'Fanny' age 1 in 1891 as well-so another one after Samuel and before the census that I didn't know about--She's not on 1901 though with them so will sadly have to look for a death for her. Still to have 10 out of 11 survive is pretty good compared to some of my others!

I don't think they are ON Ancestry!

Thanks everyone-Think I've got all I wanted now! Off to my tree to do some updating and thanks for all your help x
