Gender Male Residence From 1901 to 1911 Middle Dimson Farm, Middle Dimson, Calstock, Cornwall, England - The 1911 census shows the farmhouse had 10 rooms. Simon and Annie had had 8 children by 1911 and all were still alive, so doubtless they could make use of the 10 rooms - although of course other similarly large families had to make do with a couple of rooms.
Occupation From 1901 to 1911 Middle Dimson Farm, Middle Dimson, Calstock, Cornwall, England Farmer - Simon helpfully filled in the "industry or service with which worker is connected" column in the 1911 census, telling us that mixed farming was carried on at Middle Dimson.

Ann DODD, b. Abt 1828, Peter Tavy, Devon, England , d. Aft 1901 (Age ~ 74 years) (Mother)Notes - (Research):None of Simon's children seem to have married or died in England or Wales, nor does Simon seem to have died here; I think they must have emigrated.
