I suspect that this is George in 1891 then,

39 Schoolcroft, Middlesbrough
The family is Margaret Cook and her children
A very feint image but I'm assuming that George Bell who is living there is a lodger/boarder, he's single and aged 38, general labourer, born Cumberland possibly Carlisle, again the word isn't clear.

Hi Phrishy & Geoff,

Thanx once again for your help with this unfortunately I dont have access to that particular record on the '71 census, so I couldnt of checked it out myself.
As for the birth and death of David I'd already looked those up myself this morning, but I have Davids age as 17 at time of death & that would tie in with his age according to the '81 census
I'm going into town this afternoon so if I have time might check out the death record for it may help solve this

              Thanx Ainsley :)

Just an update on this family,
                  Robert's First wife was Elizabeth Clarke and they married in Middlesbrough in 1873, they had 1 child together Margaret Ann d o b 07/11/1874 died 1876. In between the birth & death of this child Robert married Elizabeth Laing and went on to have 11 children with her. The poor woman must have been exhausted, they had thier 1st child in 1875 and the last 1 in 1896. For the 1st 21 yrs of thier marriage she spent it pregnant, my heart goes out to her.
                    Robert Died in 1930 in Middlesbrough & Elizabeth in 1937 in Middlesbrough in the same house that my father was born in.
                             
                       Thanx Ainsley :)
