Please could anyone do a quick lookup for me? I just want to find Leonard Cousins Mead born Devon 20 Oct 1906 on the 1911 census. Some talk he may have been in a home -but haven't got access to that?
If not may be in Topsham,Devon?
I don't know names of parents for certain but his dad may also be Leonard apparently.
grateful for any help.

Thanks very much that's really really useful -I can pass on to the family (not mine) -only they have photos but they don't know what any of them were called! They just say Mum, dad, sister etc!
They'll be dead chuffed :-)
