Find Ancestors

No 1881 /1891 then.If they married in 1878 they should be together somewhere.
I wonder if they went under another name,especially as we can't find the relevant birth records.

A tree on Ancestry has some these children but only with the parent Louisa Hope and no mention of husband,although that doesn't mean anything as they have louisa born 1840 died1920.

Which of Robert and Louisa's children is your direct line?

Hi Flick its Beatrice my nans mother,just to follow on from some comment Robert was down as Robert Pikey in 1891 with the other half of the children

This is the 1891 you mention - Robert's occupation is 'Minds machine'

Maybe Terry could have give us this info earlier!!!!!!!!.

I was thinking on the Gypsy line seeing as no birth records jumping out.

Mary im sorry about that its all a bit confusing

thank you all for taking the time to help me,if I could find out Louisa maiden name it would be great,thanks again terry

As the births of the children do not appear to have been registered, and there is no trace of a marriage, I rather fear you may never be able to find out.

It also seems that they eluded the 1881 census

Thank you Flick,just got to hope that someone will appear and give me the answers.

Its even more strange as I think Pikey maybe another name for Gypsy,go to google.

I wouldn't hold your breath, Terry - the chances that someone will magically appear with the answers are unlikely, to say the least.
