Thanks to all those answers above, this has been an interesting search and have only recently got back on to it. A bit of a red herring for me in a way as he is quite far of the tree from the line I am following he is the son of Harriet Britton who in turn is the daughter of my GG Grandfather And the boy was 'born out of wedlock'. we found him in the 1881 in Hoo with his grandfather and shown as "Grandson" and again in the 1891 census were he is listed as Ag Lab.

A revisit out of curiosity turned ap the incorrect marriage to AM Whitecross in 1905 and his presence on Mauritius in the 1911 census. Not sure how he got there as the Royal Fusilier's website states that the 3rd Brigade was stationed in India prior to WW1 and went from there to France when war broke out. the battalion was subsequently disbanded in 1945 at the end of the war.

Another and hopefully final revisit a couple of weeks ago as a result of a passing comment to my boss at our local museum has resulted in revealing some of the above but added more, it creates more questions than answers.
I did find an entry in the 1939 register of a Robert Britton and Agnes M Britton in East Kirby Notts, but recent finds has eliminated him.

Thanks for your help, but still interested in finding a date of death if possible

Hmm
Seems a bit old to be fathering a child some 20 years later?? 

He was not married to the mother.

The book gives only brief details of the 6 martyrs and only a couple of the 85 pages in all but there is a lot of information on the  social and agricultural activities of the village from the Doomsday book times up to the mid 1900s. a map of the village showing were various farms and houses were and there occupiers, details of censuses and names of many of the people living there

I am looking for information on Robert Britton who was born in Leatheringham in 1803 (according to various census records in subsequent years).

I am particularly interested in his parents and any siblings he may have had.  He married in Hoo at St Eustace and both he and his wife Charlotte are buried there. They had a number of children who all moved to London during the mid 1800 no doubt due to the decline in the agricultural industry and the industrial revolution.

I have a copy of the above book, sub titled "The Second Millennium"

I have no idea how it came to me but it is free to anyone who wants it.

Just pay the postage and it is yours.
