Must apologise generally that a simply question regarding trying to read writing when the family was in Cornwall - albeit Calstock which is in Tavistock Registratioin District - has taken things back deeper into Cornwall. However, generally after 1891, most of the children of James and Jane moved into Devon (particularly Abigail - Jane - who became my paternal grand mother a bit after she married my great grandfather, James Murrain). The Grigg children all then seemed to have variously moved to Devon and stay in Tavistock or Plymouth area, except 2 who then emigrated to USA. Bit unsure about one of the others, Nanney (also known as Annie once she left Calstock), first for London, where she married (Denis Bradley) and her first son (Leon Denis Bradley) was born, but then, after her husband died in London, she returned for the birth of her second son (Cyril Francis Bradley). The 2 sons continued to live in Devon but with relatives - Leon in 1911 living with Nanny/Annie's sister Selina (have to wait for 1921 to see if that continued!!) and Cyril living in Tavistock with my 2x G grandfather (Richard Murrin) and his daughter Annie Bentley. Don't have any idea where Annie/Nanny then went after she had abandonded both sons with relatives. My thinking at present is that she probably emigrated, but research is still work in progress on her. Again, apologies for straying out of Devon
Thanks again to everyone for their help
David
