Find Ancestors

Angela - Yes, I did, but couldn't find him.Please go ahead and try. I think he must be there somewhere.

Thinking about it (give me time) he must be about 70 years old. Surely not still stone quarrying!

I have looked for him on both find my past and ancestry and cannot see him. I also looked on freebmd to see if I could see his death and nothing. He is a puzzel.

The way I have figured it out is that Robert either died or left the marriage, and Rosie was left with the 2 youngest children and ended up in the workhouse.
Myra

If he died, it had to have been between 1861 and 1871.

I'm back!

I saw the query over the age on the 1841, well it was never meant to be accurate. Quote

"The ages of people over 15 years old were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years. Therefore, someone who was actually 24 years would have their age listed as 20, and someone who was actually 27 years old would have their age listed as 25."

Claire,

Oh right, thats interesting. That makes much more sense on my other searches.
Myra

Myra, I checked freebmd between 1861 and 1871 for 4 different spellings of his name, but found nothing.

Angela,
Yes I did the same and came up empty. It's a mystery. Thanks for trying though. it's much appreciated, and that goes to all of you who have helped me today.
Myra

Myra, I am glad to have helped. I remember the help people here gave me when I first started here and they found things for me that I had looked for and not found.
