Hi, I am a newby to the site
I am looking for information on two brothers, Robin† Dix (1870) and Alfred Edward(1874) Bond, who were born to George Bond and Hannah Boon Dix in Stafford, Staffordshire. I know that both parents died before the end of the 1870's and that both boys were recorded as pauper inmates in Stafford workhouse on the 1881 census.
Previous research has indicated that Alfred was living with his aunt, his mother's sister, Sarah Bates (Nee Dix) in 1891 and was possibly a lodger in West Bromwich in 1901. Furthermore, he could also possibly have married a Sarah Long from Wolverhampton in 1905/6.
However,the problem I have, is that according to family lore, one or both boys could have emigrated. There is definitely no signs of Roger on any UK database post 1881.
Any help would be apreciated,
Regards`
Frank
