Well that blew that theory then! lol Daisy

Chatty? Moi??? I feel I must point out that the families I was talking about were my husband's. My rellies were all ag labs until much later on.

Robins and Robinsons not that different really! And my G grandfather Henry married Jane Gibbons whose family were watchmakers! Looks like you and I come from similar stock! Perhaps that's where the chatty gene comes from? lol Daisy

No, wouldn't it be nice to discover we were distant cousins?! My husband's lot are Robins (the paperstainers) and Denisons (watchmakers). But they lived in a grim area around Whitecross Street and I discovered one of them in Parkhurst in 1871, which is why it would be nice to know where he was in 1861, especially as his wife gave birth in 1866! nell

Thanks Nell. Very frustrating isn't it? No Robinsons among your lot then? Daisy

Daisy I have missing families in 1861 in St Lukes area - also paperstainers. I think there's a chunk of the census missing. Very annoying as unable to find several family members who then died before 1871! nell

Jools, thank you. I didn't know there were any missing parts so this is very helpful. I have found the rest of the family in parts of Islington in 1861 but he may well be in the missing part which would also account for Elizabeth's absence too. Daisy

Was he likely to have been living in one of the missing bits? I've just nudged Sarah Montgomery's thread for you. Jools

Maureen - yes that's him on the 1851. Lyla - yes I've found Jane, Emily and Henry (my g grandfather) all of whom married in the summer of 1852. Anthony isn't with any of them and I haven't found him nearby either. There was another daughter, Elizabeth (married John Stanley in 1949) but I haven't found her yet. Daisy

Can anyone help with this please. I have Anthony Robinson (b 1797 St Andrew Holborn) occ paper stainer, on the 1841 and 1851 with wife Margaret (b c1792) and various children. On the 1871 he is in St Luke's Union workhouse listed as a widower, but I cannot find him on the 1861 and believe Margaret died around 1858. Thanks. Daisy
