From the LDS site, I know that my family lived in George Street Exmouth. Is it possible to find the house number please? It's the family of Robert Lacey, Withycombe Rawleigh and the ref is HO/107/1865 Folio 341 Page 37. Many thanks. Lizzie

Put in the info you gave and it through up a Robert Long. Looking at the image I think it is Lacey. In 1851 his age is given as 61, his wife Sarah is 58 and daughter Sarah 16. They are living in George St., but no number is given. Sorry it isn't much help Mags

Not them, sorry! I'd assumed that the ref on LDS was right. Will I ever learn?! It's Robert LACEY as head of household with wife Sarah, daughters Sarah and Jane (Skinner) a widow and two grandchildren name of Skinner. Lizzie

Margaret, Many thanks, that would be them. Just hoped it would have a house number as I'm trying to untangle the family! Lizzie
