Hi Joy
The location of Tavistock indicated that John Earnshaw was a prison warder
at H M Prison Dartmoor. There is a museum at Dartmoor Prison and it is
worth contacting them, but there was a riot there in the 1930s and many
records were destroyed.

The address is
H M Prison Dartmoor Museum
H M Prison Dartmoor
Princetown
Dartmoor
Devon

Apart from the usual sources (census, Parish Records and directories) it
might be worth contacting the Records Office at Plymouth and failing that
Kew.

Regards
Julie Goucher, List Owner
