Looking for Robert Wiltsher bc 1860
« on: Sunday 22 February 15 15:20 GMT (UK) »
Hi all

I volunteered to help a friend with his tree and have almost fallen at the first hurdle ...... :-[

The chap I am searching for is Robert Wiltsher (various spellings) bc 1860 Marylebone

I have him with his family in 1901 living Paddington

Robert Wiltsher age 40, Coachman born Marylebone
Arabella Wiltsher age 32, born Dover, Kent
Frederick Wiltsher age 13, born Paddington
Edward Wiltsher age 5, born Knightsbridge
Florence Wiltsher age 3, born Paddington
Elizabeth Wiltsher age 1, born Paddington

The 1911 census has them all living Willesden, Middlesex.   Robert and Arabella married 24 years, 7 children born, 4 still living.

My problem is that I can’t find Robert, Arabella and son Frederick on the 1891 census ..... neither can I find a marriage for them.

Hoping sks on here can help

Regards

Florence's baptism gives fathers name as Robert Frederick.

Edward Thomas's baptism in Knightsbridge has same for father and Arabella Elizabeth for mother - he was born 25 July 1895

I am not seeing birth registrations for them   :-\

Hello,

There is this one in 1871 170/34/61

Robert Wiltcher 11 yrs servant Errand Boy b Marylebone

In the household of William and Mary Wiltcher.
There are children of this couple and Robert's name is dittoed but he is a servant.

It may need further checks.

Sorry- just read the post again, you only want 1891.
