I hav'nt posted census's just rubbish so far lol

So at least we're doing better than "London" for place of birth.

Military record says West Ham, 1911 says Stratford; fairly interchangeable.

Stratford is in Poplar reg dist, though. But nothing in Q1 and Q2 1865 looks more likely there for Robert-s.

Chris :)

Thought your Robert married Jane and was a musician?

ja...x

What I do know is that there was a very large, well to do Daubeney family in London of very distinguished military bearing. I do not think my Robert had any legitimate (wish could do italics!) connection. I think the Robert Eleanor & Giles Frederick were theirs.

Sorry I'm late with this - just had a disaster!

Yes, that's my tree on Ancestry.

Janey - that's a different Robert on FMP.

A lady on Ancestry had contacted me in response to a similar posting saying that Robert Tait was the brother of her G-Grandfather Ernest, this was from her family history but we've found no hard proof.

This was Ernest in 1881:

Address: West Ham Union School, Low Leyton
DAUBNEY, Ernest Inmate Single M 11 1870 Scholar Leytonstone Essex

(Have his records from thereon)

On Ernest's marriage he gave his father's name as James Daubeney (deceased - no occupation).

As per Janey's advice:
