hi there,thank you so much for your time spent,head of house robert married sarah in oakham in 1840,sarah died in 1846,robert remarried a jane busby that same year.robert no cert proof died in 1865.eliza on the 1841 census was the illigtimate daughter of mary stapleton age 20 on census eliza was babtized 17 may 1836 in greetham,george was the son of robert and sarah  and babtized in greetham 1841.so where does my robert fit in as i said no registration for him you were correct on your findings of him on the census,was he the child of mary? i think mary possibly died late 1840s so perhaps that is why he is in the workhouse,i know robert joined the army in 1857 we can find him in aldershot on the 1871 census he was posted to dublin where he met and married in 1867 on his marriage cert he states his father as john stapleton occupation a baker.there is only one john death in the oakham area in 1840 got the cert but he was far to old being 83 at time of death.so as you can see i need roberts babtism to go any further finding his origin cottesmore,empingham and greetham parishs hve been checked no result,you say you have buriels up to 1843 would you be so kind to perhaps check for a buriel for john stapleton around roberts birth 1840 maybe that would help.sorry if ive rambled but you know how frustrating research can be ;)thank you again any help appriciated. warmest regards ruth
