Hi all, another lost ancestor! This time its a Peter Dickinson b, 1858, Northumberland (several actual places given but all within Northumberland) on the 1871 census! His parents I think are Robert and Margaret Dickinson who also seem to be missing from the 1871 census although there is a Robert and MARY Dickinson which I don't think are mine as they are on other census' and do not have the same children in 1861! To make matters even more confusing is the fact that there is a tree on Ancestry which says my Robert Dickinson married a Sarah Douglass who was 40 years his senior! Even if this is true I still can't find Robert marrying a Margaret but several to a Mary. Also on the 1861 census there is an older child Andrew b. 1849, Northumberland (I don't know if he belongs to Robert or not as Margaret is apparantly 7 years his senior so could be from a previous marriage/relationship)? Sorry to go on but I didn't know how to word it any other way!!
Any help would be appreciated- as the saying goes, I am hitting my head against a brick wall!!!!!
