Name James Frederick TARR Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Jun Q 1855 Dawlish, Devon, England - From the 1861 census where shown as aged 5 - I am assuming that the 'John F' should be 'James F'

Father John TARR, b. Abt 1822, Kenton, Devon, England , d. Jun Q 1900, Newton Abbot Reg Dist, Devon, England (Age ~ 78 years) Mother Grace JUSTHAM, bap. 15 Mar 1829, St. Andrew’s Church, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England , d. Jun Q 1912, Newton Abbot Reg Dist, Devon, England (Age ~ 82 years) Married Jun Q 1846 Plympton Reg Dist, Devon, England - GRO ref: Jestin, Grace to TARR, John q2 1846 Plympton St Mary RD 9 517
Is Jestin = Justham? - finding this couple in the censuses shows that Grace was the right age and born in Milton Combe, Buckland Monachorum so I'm sure it is.
The 1911 census shows that Grace and John had 13 children, 6 of whom had died by 1911. As 7 have been found in 1911, it must be the others who died.
Alive in 1911: Mary A, John, James F, Tom, Eliza J, Grace, Bessie (7)
Must have died by 1911: the 2 who died as infants (John Henry Jestham and Richard), Wm Henry, Sarah Jane, Emily, Alice (6).
