I thought you might like to lnow there is a Jane Tilley listed in thge Axbridge Union Punishment Book dated 21st August 1870

It reads:

21 Aug. Jane Tilley: insolence to the Master: 6th August: Locked up for 8 hours, caned by schoolmaster.

Som RO ref. D/G/AX/87/1 Axbridge Union, Somerset Punishment Book, 1864 to 1905

taken from David Hawkins book Pauper Ancestors.

Pat, its not as simple as they've removed it for all.  There are reports that some of the overseas sites are still showing it.  I can't comment on that as I only use the UK site.  That said, I can see the TNA Registration Number on the Free Preview when using IE11 (and I've been forced to relogin in IE11, probably though an expiring cookie, and that hasn't removed the facility), but if I use Firefox it is excluded and I get the name of a second person in the household but no Ref number.  Other people have experienced issues viewing it in IE11 but can view in other browsers, and yet more cannot see it in any browser.  FMP Support have apparently told at least one person that the reference is still visible.  It seems to be a bit hit and miss as to who can and can't see the TNA Ref and in which internet browser.

Using the Address search on the 1939 Register you will find that living at 80 Windsor Road are Charles Henry WASHER (born 1865) and Ellen M WASHER (born 1864)

Ada L FINCH (born 1890) is also living in Torquay in 1939 with Lionel L MITCHELL (born 1903) and Jean E M MITCHELL-CORP (born 1913) - don't know the address without paying a fee!

Ada Louisa FINCH (born 10th Nov 1890) died during the 4th quarter of 1979 in the Torbay District.

Too many FINCH and WASHER men in the Navy and elsewhere in the military records to identify either men without some dating to go by.

I think you may have the right one Pat.

1911 Census at 63, Market Street, Torquay, Devon:

WASHER Henry Charles age 46 (1865 Bridgewater, Som) Dairy shop keeper.  2 Children, both living. [Reg BMD:1866JFM Bridgewater.  1871Cen Bridgewater; Parents WASHER James & Jane, sibs: Herbert J, Ernest G, Sydney I, Kate] 

WASHER Ellen M age 47 (1864 Bridgewater, Som) Dairy shop keeper [Ellen Matilda WASHER died 06/06/1955 a widow, living Rocombe Brae, Maidencombe, Torquay. 1871Cen Bridgewater; Parents HEWETT George (Langport Som) & Mary A (Broadway? Som), sibs William E, Edward J, George, Henry S]

WASHER Ada Louisa age 20 (1891 Bridgewater, Som) Dairy shop keeper, living and working at home [Reg BMD: 1890OND Bridgewater]

WASHER Catherine Grace 15 (1896 Torquay, Devon) No occupation, living at home. [Reg BMD: 1895JAS Newton Abbott]

If it may be of help, the ecclesiastical parish in the 1901 census is "Upton St. Mary Magdalene".

Ancestry people have a BMD 1888JAS marriage record in Birkenhead, Cheshire of a couple, Henry Charles WASHER & Ellen Matilda HEWETT. 1881Cen have both in Bridgewater, single, with their families. 1891Cen have them married, in Birmingham, with Ada L (5 months).  Ahhh look at that! This census 1891: Henry C WASHER Head Mar 26 Occupation "Captain (Salvation Army)". Well, there's one "captain" in the Washer family.

Last comment: Found the NPC for Henry C WASHER. Reg: 1949 Newton Abbot, Devon. "of Crest View 80 Windsor Road Torquay died 1 April 1949 Administration (with Will) Exeter 3 June to Ada Louise Finch single woman .."
