i can find this birth Name: Robert Cox Year of Registration: 1849 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Westminster St Margaret County: Middlesex Volume: 1 Page: 474 right area and if he was born end of March and registered April it would fit in with his age on the census. Cannot find a marriage for Robert Sadler - Sadler is a fairly unusual name in that area which makes things easier. Did find Name: Robert Sadler Year of Registration: 1854 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Westminster St Margaret County: Middlesex Volume: 1a Page: 350 and he is the only Robert Sadler on the indexes to die in the Westminster area Cannot find anything on Charlotte who said she was born in Gloucester.

Pam thank you for that ,but i think once a shoemaker always a shoemaker. Carol thank you for that i have tried many different spellings of the name. Andrea I think you may be onto something there if only i could find his birth.

Have you tried looking with the alternative spelling of COCKS It is possible that an enumerator could have spelt it wrong Just a thought

Had a thought that maybe Robert's father was Robert Sadler but that as his name was Cox he had to call his father Robert Sadler Cox so how about this one Name: Robert Sadler Age: 2 Estimated birth year: abt 1849 Relation: Son Father's name: Robert Mother's name: Charlotte Gender: Male Where born: Westr, Middlesex, England Civil parish: Westminster St Margaret Ecclesiastical parish: St Margaret County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Registration district: Westminster Sub-registration district: St Margaret ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 46 Household Members: Name Age Catherine Sadler 9 Charlotte Sadler 32 Robert Sadler 31 Robert Sadler 2 Robert Sadler is a coal porter.
