Hi If anyone is researching the family of Miss PRETTEJOHN from Hallsands, this week's "Amateur Photographer", dated 3rd September, has a really splendid portrait of the lady, originally published in "The Guardian" back in 1960, and presumably born in the late 1880's. Hopefully, someone will be lucky enough to claim this for their own. Colin White DFHS 12170

Hi All, I am looking for the parents of William DENBOW who according to the 1851 census was born in Holbeton c 1811. In 1851 he is living with wife Grace and son Silas in Plymouth Charles. I cannot find them in 1861. I think William maybe deceased by then. Would some kind person please be able to take a look at the 1871 census to see if Grace c 1809 also born Holbeton is still alive please. In 1891 there is a Grace DENBOW aged 88 living still at Plymouth Charles. Where is she in 1861-1871? Cheers Bev.
