    • A Wm Henry TARR died in Newton Abbot RD in Sep Q 1871, age shown as 23, not quite right for this one but close enough that it could be - but the birth of another Wm Henry TARR was reg in Newton Abbot RD in 1847; age exactly right for that one, so far more likely to be him.

      Judging by the number of his mother's children who had died by the time of the 1911 census, William was dead by then.

    • 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).
