In another case the family tradition said someone was 'from Brixham' , but he was born in the adjoining rural parish, Churston Ferrers . Princetown Princetown is a special case. The CD even includes Tavistock as a part of the 'Address'. You can find the Prison by searching on Prison as 'Head of House' and Lidford as Census Place. Prisoners are given by initials only, with age and birthplace.
Some married staff have separate houses, so check 'neighbours', too.
Modern complications Searches are made even more complex by modern misprints. There are said to be no people living in Bishopsteignton , but 1,119 people live in the non-existent parish of Bishopsteighton. One letter wrong makes all the difference. It is certainly sometimes worth going through a whole parish, looking for possible misprints, if you have some reason to think your relative 'ought' to be there. The 1881 CDs are a little easier to use because of the automatic search for similar sounding names, but many of the same problems apply.
