This is def them in 1851 Thomas Robinson Age: 42 Estimated birth year: abt 1809 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Maria Gender: Male Where born: London, Middlesex, England Civil parish: Ipswich St Mary At The Elms County/Island: Suffolk Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Ipswich Sub-registration district: St Matthedw ED, institution, or vessel: 4b Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 9 Household Members: Name Age Frederick Robinson 16 Maria Robinson 45 Maria Robinson 20 Sarah Robinson 13 Thomas Robinson 42 William Robinson 8 And though this was them in 1841 Maria Robinson Age: 34 Estimated birth year: abt 1807 Gender: Female Where born: Middlesex, England Civil parish: St Andrew Holborn (Above The Bars) Hundred: Ossulstone (Holborn Division) County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Street address: Occupation: View image Registration district: Holborn Sub-registration district: St Andrew Western Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Thomas Allen 22 Emma Robinson 1 Fredk Robinson 6 George Robinson 4 Maria Robinson 34 Maria Robinson 11 Sarah Robinson 24 Thema Robinson 32

I have to go out will check back later to see if anyone has had any bright ideas.

Having looked at the 1841 image closely I've found that 'George' was actually a daughter, written as Georg with a superscript 'a' at the end. So she should be Georgina or Georgiana. Possibly the enumerator may have misread a badly written Sarah as this. Have you found these on the IGI?

Andrea :-) well done.

Wow! I'm impressed, what a great piece of detective work! I had tried to help on the earlier thread and failed. I bet a professional genealogist wouldn't have sorted that out. Good work. Margaret

Possible marriage from Boyds index for the senior Thomas and Mary 1808/ ROBINSON THO /BROOKS MARY/ IPSWICH, ST MARY TOWER / SUFFOLK

wow thanks for all the info will have a good look and check it against what i know for certain

right let me see if i have got this straight and please correct me if i am wrong..... The1841 Census for St Andrews Holborn is my family Thema is Thomas, George is Sarah And Fredrick is in fact Thomas Fredrick. Emma was Born in 1840 and dies in 1843. I am right in thinking that Maria jnr is in fact Amelia Mary Anne? But then i had All the children being christened together in suffolk (someone gave this info). Then who is the Family that Sue found in Ipswich in 1841? I know that i definately have the right family in 1851 I have traced them forward and have a direct line from William Henry Walter Through to my own father.

Nancy, I agree with your summary, with the possible addition of two separate children, Maria born about 1830, and Amelia Mary Ann born about 1832. Sue's info may show Amelia (born London?) resident with her grandparents in 1841. I think I have seen it said before that when a vicar found an unbaptised child, they would often baptise all the children together, including those that had previously been baptised. Also, I'm not sure when the practice ceased, but baptism may be one way of obtaining a settlement certificate. One genealogist has obtained around 17 separate baptisms in different parishes for one child!

I agree with Ivy, Maria and Amelia are two seperate people. The fact that both Thomas' in 1841 are cordwianers or shoemakers and that in 1851 Thomas senior is a seargeant at mace like Thomas junior in 1861 has got to mean a connection. I think it all fits.

Nancy Are Emma and Amelia, two children you may not have known about.

Think i am slowly getting hang of this, so The Thomas in suffolk in 1841 is the father of the Thomas living is holborn? So excuse me if i am being dim but where do the Emma and Amelia fit in with my family?
