Hi, because they are both on the 1891? Unless I have the wrong family? 1891 Devin, David abt 1882 Lambeth, London, England Son St Mary London Devin, Jessie abt 1880 Lambeth, London, England Daughter St Mary London Devin, Mary J abt 1858 Martham, Wales Head St Mary London Devin, Peter abt 1878 Martham, Wales Son St Mary London Devin, Thomas abt 1876 Martham, Wales Son St Mary London

Heather, Yes thats as far as i got on the 1901 census! Why do you think David is Thomas' brother can I ask? The only other members of Thomas' family I found were on the 1881 census: Peter (Head), Bridget (wife), Elizabeth, Annie, Patrick, Kate.

Here is Thomas and Louisa in 1901 (Thomas must be Davids bro) 1901 England Census records matching your search for All Records > Census > 1901 England Census Viewing 1-5 Match Quality Name Estimated Birth Year Birthplace Relationship Civil Parish County/Island View Image Louisa Devins abt 1876 Finsbury, London, England Wife St George the Martyr London Louisa C Devins abt 1901 Southwark Daughter St George the Martyr London Thomas Devins abt 1875 Ruthin Denb, Wales Head St George the Martyr London Thomas R Devins abt 1895 Bermondsey Son St George the Martyr London William D Devins abt 1897 Bermondsey Son St George the Martyr London

The children from Thomas & Louisa (Elborne) Devins 1901 census are Thomas, William, Louisa ....... then next would possible be Lillian Emily 1902 - but I need the 1911 then!!!

I'm hoping she is the daughter of Thomas & Louisa Devins, 1894 Southwark - that would be the definate link. oh but now you put alice/david devins in the southwark area, it could be them aswell! suppose i will have to wait for a birth cert then. thanks all for your help so far

And a marriage? Devins, David 1901 March Marriages St Saviour Southwark London Surrey HARDING, Alice Amelia 1901 March Marriages St Saviour Southwark London Surrey And Davids family? 1891 Devin, David abt 1882 Lambeth, London, England Son St Mary London Devin, Jessie abt 1880 Lambeth, London, England Daughter St Mary London Devin, Mary J abt 1858 Martham, Wales Head St Mary London Devin, Peter abt 1878 Martham, Wales Son St Mary London Devin, Thomas abt 1876 Martham, Wales Son St Mary London

There are other candidates. Devins, David 1901 March Marriages St Saviour Southwark London Surrey Devins, Peter 1901 December Marriages Southwark Greater London London Devins, Thomas 1894 September Marriages St Saviour Southwark London Surrey

Or that mum went home to her mum for her first confinement?

In 1901 this couple are living in Southwark, so they COULD be the parents: Alice Devins abt 1881 Hempstead, London, England Wife Southwark St George the Martyr London David Devins abt 1882 Battersea, London, England Head Southwark St George the Martyr London but Southwark reg districts does cover a wider area than the parish itself. Forinstance, it covers Newington, but there are no devins there, unless they are mistranscribed!! There's always the possibility someone moved house between the census and the birth too!! Good Luck Sarah

I have possibly found a connection on this site to my family tree! The only problem is we dont know whether the person in connection is the right person as we havent got a birth certificate, as we are so excited - we were wondering if anyone can find out the parents names of an Lillian Emily Devins, born 1902 Southwark - otherwise I shall just have to wait until the birth cert arrives. If anyone can help - it would be great!!!! fingers crossed for a match!
