Census Look up - HAYES
« on: Sunday 01 February 09 14:00 UTC (UK) »
I have found a Robert Hayes b. 1845 Orwell, Cambs in the 1881 census in Orwell with his wife, Gertrude, and 7 children.  His occupation is 'Coprolite digger' and this has intruiged me.  By 1901 he is a 'Farm Lab Shepherd', but I'd love to know what he did on any other census.

If anybody can give me a look up on any other census I would love to know what his occupation's were.

Kind regards

KA

He's an agricultural labourer in 1891 and appears to have 9 children living with him, including a son called Isaac Gill.  Would you like the full details?

Just checked the 1881 and all the boys are coprolite diggers. It's not a million miles away from being an ag lab. See here:

Do you have this?

Marriages Dec 1867
Gertrude Gill and Robert Hayes
Caxton
3b 1027

Looks like Isaac may be illegitimate or from a previous marriage of Gertrude.
This will tell you:

Thank you all for that.  Most interesting.

Ruskie,

Yes please for the 1891 details.  As there is an 'extra' child there (Issac) I'd like to follow him through.

Many thanks.
