I am actually related to one born in 1872 but I didn't want to muddy the waters with them.
I can track those 2 forward but it's the other children and Robert and Mary Ann I can't find.

I have been searching for my ggrandfather Robert Ferguson b1842 Middlesex and his wife Mary Ann b1839 Nottingham, for about 4 years.

I have them in all census up to and including 1871 where they are in Bradford, Yorkshire.
Now in 1881 there is no sign of them, but 2 children are in separate workhouses in Bradford ie Robert 1867 and Rose Ann 1869.
Their last child was born 1874 and I found Robert on the 1878 Bradford electoral list. Then he and wife disappear.

So what happened to Robert and Mary Ann? The 2 children mentioned then disappear. I have checked death and marriage records.
Any help appreciated or ideas.
