Hi All,

I have a photocopy of census page 1901 England, which shows Jane Burke, widow, aged 81. Address 136 Sycamore St, Elswick, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Also in the household is her daughter Elizabeth, Robert ***** son in law and Robert ***** grandson. I would like to find out which daughter Robert married but I cant make out his surname. Anyone help please?

Regards Pat

It's Robert Lowrey, both father and son - place of birth not known other than England.

The daughter Elizabeth is single, as are both Roberts
