Robert Dexter - b Stretton c1837
« on: Wednesday 05 December 07 21:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi!  I'm hoping someone can help me taking Robert Dexter backwards.  From Census records he was in the Oakham workhouse at age 4, in 1841, also in 1851.  I have him living alone in Greetham in 1861, no sign anywhere in 1871, and then moved to Syston (Leics) with wife Rosetta (nee Winterton) and 5 children by 1881.

There's a suggestion that his father was also Robert, his mother Mary, but I have no firm evidence.  Can anyone verify these parents, and find any evidence as to why he ended up in the workhouse at 4 years of age?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Marriage
Robert Dexter to Rosetta Winterton in Oakham in Qtr Dec 1861 vol 7a Page 535.

Sending for the above cert would tell you if Robert was the Father I see theres a submitted entry on Igi stating parents as Robert and Mary.

Possible Death(If Robert is the Father)
Robert Dexter Qtr Sept 1840 in Oakham vol 15 Page 460

Thank you both for this information, it's helpful to me.  Finding the family in 1871 was an inspiration, given I couldn't find them on Ancestry at all.  Maybe I didn't persevere enough.

And the death of Robert (snr) when his son was only about 3 might account for him being found in the workhouse in 1841.

The reference to Robert & Mary on IGI is tantalising, but is quoted under two separate Thurlby's, in Lincolnshire.

Thanks again, Peter

Hi Peter,

I often search under just first name and birthplace, I think it was the more unusual name Rosetta that led me to the 'Desler' family
