I too think it looks like Alias Hughes, surely they wouldn't write Alice Hughes at the side of all the names!!

Thanks you both! That's what I thought Mary but the writing was a little unclear.

Robert 1866 in same Workhouse on his own.
admitted 5/12/1878 until 6/12/1878 again it says alias Hughes and looks like of Alice Hughes.

??from Brentwood to West Ham Union.

Thanks Mary, I missed that one in my excitement at having found him with his brothers!

The October 1878 records says mother dead but the record 2 months later doesn't mention it. Perhaps it's because he was returning from Brentwood where he was sent two months earlier.

Proves that ol' saying again!...'Never Give Up', something out there somewhere...

Good Find MC, did wonder if you ever got any further, one of those 'Thread' names that you don't forget, lol.

edits (haven't read all through again, summing up, anything on it you are looking for now then?)

I'm still trying to find Robert's birth but I reckon IF he was registered then it would have been as Hughes.

Giles Frederick was registered 1864 in Islington and I had thought this might be Ernest:

Births Jun 1868
HUGHES Ernest Islington 1b 340

... but there a a few contenders for him in the 1871 census. Might send for that certificate just to eliminate.

This is the closest I can find for Robert:

Births Jun 1865
Hughes Robert E. London 1C 11

I don't know enough about London reg. districts to know if that would be the right area. I'm also thinking that the father Frederick Daubeney was around to register Fred's birth (hence the dual surname) but if he was away then the mother mightn't have bothered registering them.

Have since found that the three boys were also registered in the workhouse October 1878 under the name Hughes alias Daubeney. The writing is a little clearer and father looks like Captain Fred S - I've contacted a few people on Ancestry who have Frederick Sykes Daubeney in their trees to see if they know his whereabouts in the 1860s, waiting to hear back. He doesn't appear to have had children with Jane Olivia Rippingille (his legal wife at the time).

Saw the Frederick Sykes one, coming up newspapers...

Wondered if Fred was shortened from Frederick, hence little mark above on image.

1871 Isleworth Hounslow
3,Pownall Gardens
Edw Danbury (Daubeney) 1830 born Bath Somerset in Army
E wife 32 (Emily Carpenter) married 1864/5.
F Danbury cousin married 52 born Somerset.
This seems to be Frederick Sikes/Sykes as he is with Edward on Electoral Rolls.

He was married to Jane Olivia they (married in France 1844) at the time but I can't find her 1871!!

1891 Fred S Daubeney 1823 Bath
Blanche wife nee Harwood
Robert T TAIT visitor born Scotland 1838 he married Harriett/Henrietta Young Harwood born Liverpool she was sister to Blanche above.

So is this the connection to your Robert Tait Daubeney 1865??

Harriett Tait nee Harwood died 1885 her parents were Robert and Harriett Harwood nee Young.

According to a tree on ancestry this Robert Thomas Tait from Scotland fathered illigitimate children to a Annie Taylor while married to Harriet.
Maybe it ran in the family.

Mary - thank you!

My word, I think things are starting to click - it does make sense, doesn't it?

I've been called away to do stuff for a project but am going to make this a mission at the weekend.

This is interesting:
