Hi Barbara, rather than make assumptions which might lead you along the wrong path, you really need to get one of the children's birth certificates to confirm mother's maiden name.

The info Shirley's posted above for Isaac should do the trick.

Hi all
His children were Johanna, Alice, George, Henry, William and Isaac the last one born in 1875 all born in Durham
I have found a marriage in 1863 to a Mary Atkinson that i hope might be it. At an age he would probably have married she was the only Mary I could find

Victor - are you saying that's his parent's marriage? Barbara's Robert was BORN 1841, father unknown.

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 17 Jul 2011 18:31

Hello Barbara, it's such a commonly found name that a bit more info would be useful. Who were his children and when/where born?

What census have you found him on?

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 17 Jul 2011 18:29

Have you found him on any census with her and any family. Did they have children after 1875 because births had to registered by law than and a birth cert will show her maiden name
