Name George Cowling SHERRIFF Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 8 Nov 1837 Bantham, Devon, England 
Gender Male Occupation From 1867 to 1891 Mariner - George was not with the family, who were living in Salcombe, at the time of the 1881 and 1891 censuses; most absences of men in Salcombe were because they were mariners and the 1881 census confirms this as "Mariners wife" was entered next to Elizabeth (crossed out, but all the descriptions of wives in this way were on this page so I believe it means the info was inappropriate as a census entry, not that it was wrong)
Mariner's certificate (I think it was probably the cert for this George despite the birthplace discrepancy):
