Yes, as Janet says welcome to FTF. We do like a puzzle to get our teeth into
So is this your Robert in 1881? Robert HILL aged 46, licensed victualler of the Labour in Vain Adam Street Burslem, wife Hannah aged 39, sons Robert 20 and William 18?
You say you have possible wife for Matthew from Robert's baptism. Where and when did that take place please?
name: Robert Hill
gender: Male
baptism/christening date: 02 Nov 1834
baptism/christening place: Bagnall, Stafford, England
birth date: 29 Sep 1834
birthplace: Bucknall Cum Bagnall, Staffs. Eng
father's name: Matthew Hill
1881 Robert's birth place listed as Norton, Staffordshire. In 1891 when he was innkeeper of the Royal Oak Leek birthplace listed as Badley Edge, Staffs. Baddley Edge is very near to Norton, both are between Stoke on Trent and Leek.
Could that marriage be Norton not Horton Janet?
1871 Robert was a beer seller living with his brother John at the Travellers Rest, in Norton, giving Norton as birth place.
1861 he was a coal miner, living Milton, Norton in the Moors, Staffs. born Norton
1851 aged 17, an ag lab Living in Bagnall township with widowed father Matthew aged 49, ag lab, and three younger brothers including Mark aged 9. Place of birth for Robert and father Matthew- Norton.
and finally
1841
Buckland cum Bagnell
Matthew Hill 35
Margaret Hill 35
Robert Hill 10
John Hill 7
Mark Hill1month
Assuming this is your family I've tracked backwards adult ages were supposed to be rounded down in 1841 so Matthew and Margaret could both have been aged anywhere between 35 and 39, born between June 1801 and June 1806. The 1851 age for Matthew places his year of birth between March 1801 and March 1802.
Judith adn Janet you are a stars my lovelies how did you do all this, im going to write it all down and check dates ect and be back for more from you lol thank you again
