Event Note

Fred Heath could be either Frederick William Heath or William Frederick Heath, twins born in Diptford in 1871. As I can't find any record of Frederick William after 1881, but William Frederick does appear in later records, I've assumed that he is probably the Fred Heath on this record.

Newspaper Article December 1900 Totnes, Devon, England Lavinia Foss lost her handbag, which contained a large sum of money and a cheque for E E Langdon, at Totnes Market 13a 14a
Event Note

E E Langdon is either Lavinia's sister-in-law Eliza Elizabeth Langdon (née Foss), or her niece, Eliza's daughter, Emily Eltrude Langdon.
