Age is 'out' but the birthplace fits - as does his occupation - Farm labourer.

For any degree of certainty, you need the marriage cert

Alternative...........

A tree on Ancestry suggests that this is Alfred
.BUT, it is WRONG, as this man was a Solicitor in 1881

Thsnk you ErikaH, how strange. Maybe if i got Charles Robert Ogburns birth certificate it may shed some light.

Sorry to put a damper on your suggestion, but I would doubt very much that it will help. Sarah will probably have named Thomas - who died in 1877 - as the father, if she named anyone
Sometimes, one has to accept that answers cannot be found

Here is his baptism

Name: Charles Robert Ogburn
Baptism Date: 25 Jul 1879
Baptism Place: Purton with Braydon, Wiltshire, England
Parish as it Appears: Purton
Mother: Sarah Ogburn......WIDOW

NO father's name
Abode Union Workhouse

As she was in the Workhouse on 1881 census, and her subsequent children were also born there, one can safely assume that the father - or fathers - also resided in the Workhouse

Ok, thank you. It does look like the rest of Sarah's children were illegitimate and possibly fathers from the workhouse.

They were 100% illegitimate- Sarah wasn’t married when she had them

You didn't answer the question about the Peacock men's unfiorms...........do you not wish to proceed with that line of enquiry?

Im not sure of the uniforms possibly army/navy

Charles Robert Ogburn died of a perforated gastric ulcer

Thank you Lancashire Ann. I managed to find out what he died of and that it was in Queen Alexander hospital in cosham Hampshire. Also where he was buried which isn't far from where i grew up.
