Marian Report 29 May 2018 20:02

Hello, Robert Seaton, baptised 1 August 1835 (Guisborough area) marries Alice Thatcher Dec Q 1858. Alice dies March q 1862. I have them on the 1861 census at Metcalfes Yard, Guisborough. He then marries Ann Hopper Dec Q 1864 Stockton on Tees district. On the 1871 census they are at Guisborough. Robert 35 a mason, Ann 30, William 4, and George Frederick 1. I cannot find them on any of the following census returns and wonder if someone could look at the emmigration records to see if they emigrated - thank you.

I've found Ann, Edith and Clara 1900, looks as though they are with their sister Mary and her husband, but no Robert, think he may have died.

No wonder I couldn't find births for Byers with MMN Hopper
