Ah, lancashireAnn, I see her maiden name now. Like Angela, it didn't click before.

And the Chapels address is also on 1841 census. Excellent, Ann, you 'done good'!

Angela, I assume you haven't seen this as you say you've gone up to 1891. Now the elder William must be Thomas Robinson's brother on 1841 surely?

Yes, Angela typed Thomas snr's dob instead of Thomas jnr. However it's still the same family as Margaret is with her son in 1891, but with her nephew in 1901.

The burial notice that Ann found has him dying in 1837 at 33 years making his dob c1804. Sarah is 46 years in 1851 making her dob c1805.
