Thanks will send for marriage certificate

Let us know what the marriage cert says.

Thank you

That family in 1881 - no Robert, which would fit.
BUT a son of that age would probably have left home by then in any case, for work.

Did he name a father when he married?

A birth in 3rd qtr of 1860 would give a birth year of 1861 on censuses

Please post 1881 for reference

There's no mariage of a Sarah Sewell or variation 1860-1871 in Sunderland.

Can't see an unmarried Sarah Sewell of a feasible age in 1851 or 1861 in Bishopwearmouth - or Sunderland as a whole.

Thanks maddie not can I

As only the mother’s name is shown could it mean she wasn’t married.
Could Sarah have married and Robert shown on the census under his stepfathers name.

Can anyone find him on the 1861 or 1871 census

sorry i cant see him

Yes maddie that is him
