And finally, we search in Worksop in 1851 by Robert's given name, approx DOB and possible wives' names alone, and we find him:

So he wasn't born in Nottinghamshire, he was born in Yorkshire.

Daughter Harriet resembles the infant daughter in your Robert's 1841 household.


Yes, that's him -- "Chair Maker" in 1841 and 1861.

The children's names don't quite match up -- no Rebecca or Robert.

Where are they in 1851? Unless Charlotte has remarried and the children at home are going by the stepfather's surname, they just don't seem to be there.

If you have them in 1851 and Robert is still living, is a place of birth shown for him?

I can't even identify Thomas, who we know for sure was still living, in 1832 ...
