I am looking for William Alexander Stuart Robertson on 1901 census...he must be there somewhere but i can not find him. Can anyone please help....details below

Year and place of birth? Liz x

william Alexander Stuart Robertson born 1873 London and wife Adelaide Robertson born c1878 London St Luke they married in Hoxton in 1896, by 1921when my nan was born they has had 16 children and were still living in Hoxton, At the time of her birth William was a General Dealer (he had a fruit & veg stall in Hoxton Market) My best guess is living in the Shoreditch area with at least a couple of children by 1901 I have my fingers crossed someone will be able to find him

This is the closest I can find - I think the M is actually Mr! Mrs. Robertson abt 1877 Hoxton, London, England Wife Shoreditch London Grace Robertson abt 1891 Hoxton, London, England Daughter Shoreditch London M Robertson abt 1876 United States Head Shoreditch London W Robertson abt 1889 Hoxton, London, England Son Shoreditch London Mr Robertson is a Plate Glass ??? Worker; Mrs Robertson is a Brace worker. Not very helpful is it? Liz x

i know you didn't ask for this but could this be him? Robertson, William A S Record Type: Deaths Age at death: 60 Quarter: March Year: 1934 District: Shoreditch County: London Middlesex Volume: 1c Page: 91 (click to see others on page)

jeanette that is him Liz he definatly was born in UK, father came from scotland but william born London

In that case, I cannot find him. I have tried all sorts of variations of his and his wife's names with no joy. Liz

me too lIz, thanks for trying

Just in case it turns out to be relevant, Adelaide was probably RUFFELL, Adelaide Christine

Have the Ruffells and the Robertsons on earlier census' was hoping to find 1901 to find some earlier childrens names as my nan could only remember 9 out of the 16

Ooh, I have loads and loads of Ruffel/ Ruffell/ Ruffles in my hubby's tree, but no Adelaide... Liz x

really Liz? mine were from Mellis in Suffolk

They really are elusive, aren't they! I reckon I've had a reasonably good look. Unless they could have had any reason to be away from London at the time? Christine

Mine were from Hampshire, mostly Crondall. Hubby's 2g-grandmother was one Tryphena Ruffle which is quite the prettiest name on our joint family tree! Liz x

Webster do you have the 1891 census details at all Zoe

have william in 1891 living with parents James and Euphemia in st pancras and adelaide living with parents joseph and ann in 1881 in london st luke. sure they had children between marriage and 1901, they had had 16 by 1921 so they needed to get started early! unfortunatly my nan only Knew the names of the last 9 i have a Tryphena too in my tree, but she wasnt a ruffel unfortuantly, she was a Papworth

get your bananas ere, luvly ripe tomatos...still no sign of them, they must be there somewhere
