Nottinghamshire / Re: William and/or Robert BLOUNT

The only William I find born around that time, is on the 1841 census, in Eastwood (which is a village some miles north of Nottingham) father Samual, mother Ann and it looks like William has a twin named Robert.
1851 has William age 20 bn Ilkeston, Derbyshire still with parents Samuel /Anne in Eastwood - Brother Robert age 20 born same place. That William is still in Eastwood 1861 with wife Ellen
Thanks! I followed up and agree. What is odd though is that there is an Ann Blount at a wedding in Ilkeston with a "William" (no surname found) who by then is a "Cordwainer" (i.e. profession of Robert) that made me suspicious if somehow linked but perhaps not.. Seems to be a lot of Blounts in that area!
