Please could someone look in the census and find Lucy Roberson born 1856 in Norfolk.She married William Norton in 1877.I've looked but cannot find her.

Which census are you interested in, before or after she married? If you can't find her on any census, how do you know where she was born?

What is her fathers name and occupation on tyhe marriage certificate?

'Norfolk' is a bit vague....do you have anything more specific?

I'm interested in census before she was married.I found her birth and marriage in Bmd .Born 1856 Mitford

Is this the marriage?

Alcock William Mitford 4b 443
Norton William Mitford 4b 443
ROBERSON Lucy Mitford 4b 443
WISEMAN Laura Mitford 4b 443

Do you have the cert? If not, how do you know who married whom?

MITFORD is the registration district.............NOT her birthplace.

Have you found her in 1881? Her actual birthplace should be recorded on the census..............

Is this the birth which you think is hers?

Births Dec 1856 (>99%)
Roberson Lucy Mitford 4b 256

If this is the correct family in 1871, she was born in Shipdham according to the image which also shows Robinson and not Roberson.

Re the 1871 census above....can't see any Robinsons born in Mitford registration district.

But these birth names on freebmd, all born Mitford registration district match up with the 1871........ all with the surname ROBERSON. You can check youself.

Jane 1851
John 1854
Sarah 1855
Lucy 1856
Henry 1860 (two possible Henry's)

Thank you everybody
