Robertson family in Worcestershire 1780-1850

[sarah_robbo]

Hello all,

Ive been hitting a brickwall for a while now and not even a session with a SoG expert at WDYTYA LIVE at the weekend helped solve it!

I'm trying to find some missing Robertson's from Worcestershire on the 1841 and 1851 census' and to make sure I've got the right relations!

My tree is public on Ancestry 'Robertson Family Research' but I can't seem to locate

All seem to be born in Worcestershire or Shropshire.

Isaac Needham Robertson or any of his family on either 1841 or 1851 census.

I think His parents are; Rev Robert Robertson and Frances Bisselll

I think His wife is MARY ANN MERRELL b1802 d1838

His siblings are;
ROBERT ROBERTSON b1788 d1852
WILLIAM ARCH LEA ROBERTSON b1789 d.1731
MARY ROBERTSON b1791
THOMAS ROBERTSON b1796 d1851
JOHN ROBERTSON b1797
ANNA BRADFORD ROBERTSON b1800

And Isaac and Mary Ann's children are;

SUSANNAH ROBERTSON b1817
CHARLOTTE ROBERTSON b1821 d1859 (my direct line)
MARY ANN b1825
EDWIN b1827 d1897
BENJAMIN b1832 d1859
FRANCES b1834
SARAH b1838 d1838

Then Charlotte had my 2nd great grandfather Ernest Edwin illegitimately (I have birth certificate) in West Brom in 1853 but when she died in 1859 it looks like his uncle  Edwin and his wife Eliza took Ernest in.

I just can't find the family on the two census - esp. Charlotte!!!

Help!

What address is on the birth in 1853 for son of Charlotte?

[Milliepede]

Bit of a funny one in 1851 for consideration - hard to read but

Charlotte Robertson 26 servant

birthplace is down as Arblebury Lancashire but it doesn't look anything like Lancashire to me - could be Worcestershire - need another pair of eyes on it

Charlotte's been found in 1841 in Bridge Street, Birmingham. On another forum.
With her siblings and a Mary Merrell, but no Isaac

Thanks Jon, I was coming on this morning to update!

On a WDYTYA forum someone suggested St George, Brum A Warwickshire 1841 but spelling 'Charlotte Robinson' with siblings - but has a different DOB of her mother Mary nee Morrell - which suggests something is wrong there!?!

Thank you anyway! X

1841 Census

Hes in Gaol!

1851 Census Isaac Needham ROBSON age 55, Lodger, Wdr, Sales Man, born Harborne, Staffordshire**

Burial;
Name: Isaac Needham Robertson
Age:   61

Looks like he was tried in Shropshire for Embezzlement in 1839 and acquitted.
