Thanks Trace, well thats what the lady says! But I think I will let her do a bit of researching as its one of those vague, well I think it was ................. and I thought it must be Devon cos he married there and his dad was there.

Maybe??? Births Dec 1889 STEER Frank Witheridge Kingsbridge 5b 197 Was it definitely William?

Is this any help? Marriage Jun 1912 Steer Francis W Linscott Devonport 5b 758 No, cos she already has the cert lol These are probably the 1890 ones Steer, Bessie abt 1871 Kingsbridge, Devon, England Visitor Plympton St Maurice Devon Steer, Frank abt 1890 Plymouth, Devon, England Visitor Plympton St Maurice Devon She is single.

May thanks Sarah. I did see that lot but as she told me defo Devon or Cornwall .. It fits as far as I can see and the boy aged 13 was from London but in a school in Reigate. I will pass this on and leave it to her I think. Please guys, dont waste any more precious time. Very grateful for you help.

Oh, is this mum in 1891? I can't read her marital status: Steen, Louisa abt 1853 Warburton, Sussex, England Servant Hove Sussex Merry

Heather, where did you see the boy francis as an inmate? I saw this London Family in 1881: Louise Steer abt 1853 Welburton, Sussex, England Wife 72 Storks Rd, Bermondsey, London, England Mary Steer abt 1874 Bermondsey, Surrey, England Daughter 72 Storks Rd, Bermondsey, London, England Thomas Steer abt 1847 Wittering, Sussex, England Head 72 Storks Rd, Bermondsey, London, England Thomas is a mariner.....I haven't looked hard, but at first glance I can't find any of this lot in any later census...... Merry

Many thanks guys. I have to say I never saw that one on freebmd! I will pass it on to her - thanks.

Its not the Romney Marsh one as on the 1901 his dad is James. Margaret

Births Jun 1890 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steer Francis St. Thomas 5b 49 The district St. Thomas is an alternative name for St Thomas and it is in the county of Devon no Francis william on freebmd June

Heather The only Francis Steer with a W or William as a second name on family relatives is this one. Steer Francis Willie Romney Marsh.2a 978 Birth 4 1876 Margaret

Ive just found a Francis Steer right age as an inmate as some sort of school in Surrey BUT gives London as birthplace. Found Amy Liscott (the wife) as a servant in Gloucestershire in the 1901

Heather Teach me to read the heading properly!!! lol Haven't found him yet, any more clues? Margaret

Hi, no the surname is Steer. According to the lady looking for him the marriage cert gives him a rough birth date of 1888. His father is shown as Thomas, retired mariner.

Heather Is William his surname? How old was he on the marriage cert? Margaret

>Francis William married Amy Beatrice Linscott of Newton Abbot in Devonport>in 1912. They had two daughters, Amy in 1913 and Phyllis Enid in 1915. Amy >married a William Hill, and Phyllis married my grandfather Horace Albert >Faulkner of Chartham Hatch, Kent. Francis was an Acting Bombardier in the >Devon Royal Garrison Artillery in Devonport (probably a nominal rank as it says in brackets 'skilled dock worker') during WW1, for which he received >a Victory medal. At the moment, that's all I know, except that he was >probably>from the Devon/Cornwall area and his father Thomas is listed on his wedding certificate as a retired mariner.

I have a distant relative who has banged her head trying to find this guy's birth or 1901 census record. Info she has given me is below
