Louise Have you thought about possible mistranscriptions - Corbett as Corlett Robinson as Bobinson etc. Do you have any certificates for around those years which might give clues as to addresses? nell

The 1861 and 1871 censuses aren't fully indexed yet, which might account for their disappearance. Where are they in 1851 and 1881 - any clue about which area to search? nell
