I have an Ada Robson marrying Sam Thomas Richardson in 1890. I cannot find her in either the 1881 or 1891 censuses. She was born in 1860 in Manchester and her father was Thomas Mark Robson, a commercial traveller. The only other clue I have is a witness on the marriage cert, Julia Robson. I am presuming she is Ada's sister but I really have no proof . Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, Debbie

Hi,
Checked the 1881 census image.....she is not on it !!!!!!

If you want a copy...please pm me.

On the image the family have a servant called Mary although it isn't Robson the enumerator has seen it as Robson .............the family name is Cook, and there is a daughter Ada...................... a big mix up....... I hope this makes sense !!!!!

Hi,
There are some Adas on the 1881 not born in Lancashire, although looking at the Robson family in 1881 they now say they were born in Warwickshire.
