—————————————————
We always were told his sister’s name was Lillian but according to records which I’ve sent you her first name was Elizabeth. (But those people like to have more than one name in their handle!)After their parents died they ( Fred and Elizabeth) went to live with Sarah’s sister Rosa in Morthoe. Later they moved to London.A question – what date was the 1881 census taken? As Fred was listed as 8 months old on that day and his sister 4 years old.
The reason I ask this question is in the Pilton National School records of Devon it lists his birthdate as Aug 27, 1879. AND his guardian is a G. Lee of Pilton. His Aunt Flora married an Alfred Lee so maybe it was him. Even though Aunt Rosa is supposed to have had guardianship. Also in the school register it says that he’s been in London before coming to Pilton. Fred left that school in Pilton and went to Morthoe
