Year of Registration: 1841
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec

Susan they married in Clerkenwell Middlesex Reg district not Creckenwell
As I said you should get her marriage cert which hopefully will name her father,
Slandert too seems like a surname that has been handed down ,May be her mums maiden name but you would need to find the parish record of her baptism and then her parents marriage to cross check this

hi shirley i,m,getting the hang of it
do you think that freebmd.org will have the information that i need about caroline because i have been given two date of birth for this lady one 1811 and one in 1818.
regrads susan

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 14 Mar 2009 18:06

well the 1851 census gives her birth as 1818
Would think her marriage cert would say of full age because she was over 21 when she married.
Have you got the marriage cert .if not its the next step i would say as hopefully will name her father & his occupation AND you might find him on the 1841 census
We have quoted the GRO ref from FreeBMD which you will need to get the cert

Edit I Know you have this but for info for others she is still shown as 1818 on the 1861

The other part to my trying to find tread is about her daughter ann she is another problem i have been having i have got the information of when she was born and where she was born just trying to find out about if she married or had any children.
Once again thank you for your help and i will keep you posted about caroline and what i find out about her.

Susan
There wont be a birth cert as registration didnt start till Sept qtr 1837. lots of births didn't get registered even then as people moved around a lot and it was the Registrars responsibility to round his area and record new births ,many got missed, so in 1875 it became Law that the Parents had to go to Register the birth ,they had 42 days ,ie 6 weeks, to do so and that is still the Law now.
So you wont find a birth cert for Caroline what you may find is the Parish Record of her baptism, some records did also record the date of birth but this depended on how vicar keept his records.
If the parish record doesn't show on Family Search site then I,m afraid its a visit to the records office in London that will hold the records for St Pancras.I am sorry i dont know if that is the London Metropolitan Archives or elsewhere

OR!!! another thought .if you have a local Mormon church they will order in the parish records for you to look at at their church ,I think these are on microfiche but not sure as never done it!! I have heard that they make a small charge of about £3 for the service. you would need to identify possible churches she may have been baptised in. I find googling a help as you can find the names of churches in the areas and then whittle it down by which years the church opened ,you would only need those that she could have been baptised in around 1818.

As Ann is one on the 1851 census born Clerkenwell, this is the only Ann Robinson for that time.

Births Sep 1849
ROBINSON Ann May Clerkenwell 3 74

On th 1851 she's transcribed as Ann H. An "M" could easily be read as an "H".
