Hi Greg,

Well the 1841 Census does list Nathan aged 80, but doesn't give his occupation. According to a newspaper article in the Bury and Norwich Post - Wednesday 10 February 1808 which was dealing with an enclosure act, Nathan is listed as having a messuage: An Act for inclosing Lands in the Parish of Mildenhall, in the County of Suffolk "One other public carriage and drift road, of the breadth of 40 feet, (except where it passes between old inclosures) called the Lakenheath Road, beginning at or near the messuage in the tenure of Nathan Rumbelow, and proceeding in its present track between the high lands and the fen dolvers to the South-east corner of Holywell Green.

He is also listed as subject of some land tax, and was in the list UK, Poll Books and Electoral Registers, 1538-1893 for Lidgate Mildenhall.

County of Suffolk Watch, Parish of Beck Row, Mildenhall for the granting an aid to his majesty by a Land Tax to be raised in Great Britain for the service of year 1798.

Look at this though:

1881 England census for Robert DIXON
Durham, Brandon & Byshottles: District 14
28 North Street:
John DIXON, Head, Married, 41, Coal Miner, born Easington
Elizabeth DIXON, wife, married, 39, born Hetton, Durham
John DIXON, Son, Married, 21, Coal Miner, born Durham, Durham
William DIXON, son, Unmarried, 20, Coal Miner, born Durham, Durham
Mary J DIXON, Daughter, 12, Scholar, born Durham, Durham
Robert DIXON, son, 10, born Durham, Durham
Thomas DIXON, son, 8, born Durham, Durham
Sarah DIXON, daughter, 6, born Durham, Durham
Margaret DIXON, daughter, 4, Born Durham, Durham
Elizabeth, DIXON, daughter, 1, Born Durham, Durham.

This looks like the same family in 1871 with John & Elizabeth having a son called Robert born 1871, looks like quite a few on Free BMD in 1871.
