I have two Thomas Robinson a father and son Thomas snr b 1789 in Ipswich and his son Thomas b 1809 Middlesex both died after 1861census.

Thomas Senior was age 72 and Thomas Jnr age 62 on 1861 (i know it is physically impossible for their only to be a 10 yr gap between father and son. for some reason Thomas jnr age on 1851 census is out by 10 years)

There a re 3 deaths for Thomas Robinson after 1861

July-Aug 1869 age 82 yrs

Oct-Dec 1867 age 80 yrs

Oct-Dec 1861 no age given

how the heck do i sort out which one relates to whom.

Just to add a spanner in the works their is another Thomas Robinson born in suffolk around the same time as Thomas Snr

any ideas any one?

Exactly where were they living in 1861? I will look on the NBI discs to see if I can see a burial. It is a long shot, but you never know

If they were in Ipswich, there are these possibilities, burial dates

25 Nov 1867 Thomas ROBINSON 81 Suffolk Ipswich, Cemetery
8 Sep 1869 Thomas ROBINSON 82 Suffolk Ipswich, Cemetery
6 Dec 1861 Thomas Walter ROBINSON 52 Suffolk Ipswich, Cemetery
26 Sep 1861 Thomas Walter ROBINSON 52 Suffolk Ipswich, St Mary le Tower

Linda Thomas walter was last living at st mary le tower

so think the bottom one is probably the son not sure about the father i have his birth date as 1789-1791 depending on which census you look at so neither of the ages fit for thomas snr

the IGI has nothing on Thomas senior so i only have the dates given on the census to go by
