Hello Trev I'm afraid Mortlake, Surrey is a false positive from FMP's search engine, which may be just as well because recourse to old maps suggests that such a des-res riverfront home would have been squeezed into one of the gaps between the power station, the coal wharf, the pub, the two breweries and the sewage works. The problem with FMP's census search is that the box labelled "House Name" in the search page is not actually a search field and anything typed in it will be ignored during the search, and Mortlake just happens to appear on the first page of over 900,000 results for Surrey. That "House Name" box invites you to "Start typing a House Name" and to "Browse House Name" such that if you type in "LVERTON" then FMP searches for that character string in all of its census address fields and offers you a dropdown box of valid suggestions - a very large number, mostly variations (House, Cottage, Farm, Villa, Park, etc) of the names Milverton, Silverton, Wolverton, Bulverton, Culverton, Dulverton, etc. You must select at least one of these suggestions. So select all prefixed with the I, O or U that appears in your photo. Leave everything else, including the census year and the Where field blank and click on Search. You may get a couple of hundred results spread over several census years but that is quite manageable, because you're only looking for results in Thames-side counties. You won't get any results for 1911 because FMP has evidently not indexed House Names for that year, but you can then try looking for 1901 residents, or their close neighbours, in the 1911 census. My own quick search, for example, found a Ramage family at Milverton, Gordon Road, Thames Ditton, Kingston upon Thames, a Guild[r]ing family at Milverton, St Albans Road, Kingston Upon Thames, and some domestic servants Fanny Parker and Annie Bond at Dulverton, 82 Vanbrugh Road, Greenwich, Kent, all in 1901. Also for 1901 I found a Hunt family in Weybridge, Chertsey, Surrey, but they were a false positive because their "lverton" turned out to be their birthplace in Milverton, Somerset - so FMP's look-up is evidently not confined to census addresses. And just in case your great aunt got her rivers mixed up, I noticed a result in Upton on Severn, Glos. All possible addresses from 1901/1911 should be checked against old OS maps for 1919 through 1935 at 1:2500 scale. A good free site is https://www.old-maps.co.uk. If it asks you subscribe, just click on the minus button to zoom out a bit. At that scale, all buildings are marked and many big houses are named. Thereafter you can check out Google or Bing maps and drive past on StreetView, but be aware that many older villas from the 1920s might have been demolished to make way for more compact post-war urban sprawl, and I have previously noticed a trend away from house names to street numbers in the 1901/1911 censuses. If you think you might have found a surname, you can check out possible addresses later than 1911 on Ancestry's database of old British Telephone Books, or look for surnames or house names in 1920s local directories. There does not seem to be any Devonshire connection. When I confined my FMP dropdown to Bulverton, I did get 22 records in Sidmouth, Devon, but the enumerator had simply given the street address as the hamlet Bulverton, which FMP transcribed as a house name. That will apply to many other farming hamlets. By way of another false positive, the Royal Mail postcode finder suggests another house called Dulverton in Shiplake, Henley on Thames, but the precise location and shape of that building are defined on a current 2015 planning application for the adjacent land, and the Bird's Eye view on Bing reveals that Dulverton to be a modern bungalow not shown on the 1935 OS map. Having read your similar queries on other lists, it strikes me as rather odd that your wealthy great aunt in the front car seat, allegedly outside her elegant big house, was the sister of your humble blacksmith grandfather. Did she marry from rags to riches? And if she did, was that never mentioned on the family grapevine? And is that older lady really the wife, or perhaps the widowed mother, of the younger man at the wheel? He looks more like the husband of the younger lady and father of the young boy. You cannot always believe what you think you were told - like my family used to be lords of the manor - like the lords of the manor had the same surname - albeit one of my ancestors might have been one of their servants - not quite the same thing! Sorry if that might be a spanner in the works. Good luck with "lverton" and the posh people in the car.

There is a Richard Hayman baptised 13 Jan 1725 in South Brent, the base child of Wilmot Hayman. Cannot be sure this is the correct one but of all the one's on FMP looks the most likely candidate.

There is a burial at Dartmouth, St Saviour 02 Jul 1846 of Lucy Hayman aged 41, residence Blackawton, which is where Philip and Lucy are living in 1841.

I usually go straight to the Devon Collection on FMP when searching for Devon ancestors but recently discovered that this may miss entries that can be found on the FMP main search page. The Devon collection was provided by Devon Family History Society and South West Heritage Trust and Parochial Church Council in partnership with Findmypast. There is also Devon data provided by Family Search on FMP which is not included in the Devon Collection. Example: I tend to go to FamilySearch first when searching because I find their search engine is more powerful and reveals more variations of spelling. I then use the spelling to locate the record in the Devon Collection in FMP. I searched for William TINCOMBE, Bridford in Family Search and one of the results was William TINKCOMB, son of Robert, 22 May 1706. I then went to the FMP Devon Collection Baptisms and entered William TINKCOMB, Bridford, 1706 in the relevant fields but got 0 results. I then searched on Bridford, baptism year 1706, name field empty and William was still not one of the results listed. When I clicked on one of the other names returned, I found that William IS listed on the original image, the third baptism entered in 1706. Entering William Tinkcomb, birth year 1706 on the FMP "Search all records" page does get a result. You can't click on the original image from this result but you can use the parish and year returned to find the image in the Devon Collection as I did above. I don't know how much more is missing from the Devon Collection but it is worth bearing in mind. It just shows that you can't beat going to the original image and paging through yourself!
