I could be wrong but I think Robert H didn't survive as there was a death registered in the same quarter, same district - see posting above.

Rootgatherer, you are a star! I had found my grandmother's ancestor, Hairby, but not managed to get back as far as you've been able to for me. Thank you so much!

Thanks again to everyone for the contributions!
Best wishes.

Thank you Paula. I have to say though if it was me I wouldn't put any of them on my tree until I bought some certificate just to make sure. I'd have all of them filed in my "yet to be proven" folder!

Any way after all that, I am not see a birth for Hairby! I am going to have a look for some of his siblings as I think that this is a maybe for Samuel and Hannah's marriage.
