I am looking for Robert Gorton Coomb in the 1881 census. Robert was a surgeon born in Upwell Cambridgeshire. I believe his wife Edith maria Allen came from Lancashire.

In the 1871 census he was living in Tillingham Essex, and in the 1891 census he was in Southmintster, Essex.

His children were all born in Tillingham, 1880, 1881, 1885.

I have tried various spellings of the name Coomb, but no luck.
