	Can anyone tell me how I might find out if an address in the Knowle, Crediton area shown in 1851 census (Tappers) is the same place as an address shown in 1881 census (Tapps Cottage) I understand there is/was a Tapps Farm in the area. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you Sue (I have also posted this query on Devon Family History Society site)

	Hello Stan Thanks for your suggestion. I have tried the Old Maps site. The map for that area is from 1891 and shows Tapps Cottage, but I couldn't find Tappers. Do you know if there are any earlier maps on-line? Regards Sue
