Robins or Witchell

[derbs]

Thanks to fellow rootsters Sophia Gilbert has been found with her mother and siblings, Mary Tom Martha Emma and John 1851 census.  The father who I believe is John Gilbert died 1850.  Mother is Elisabeth BUT was Elisabeth Witchell or Elisabeth Robins.  Any place of birth on 1851 or 1861 census would help decide or finding out the age of Elisabeth in 1841 census either as unmarried Witchell or Robins or possible married to John Gilbert.

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi

Both the 1851 and 1861 Census give Elizabeth's birthplace as being Berwick St James. 

The 1841 Census shows this Elizabeth and John as a possible, there were no matches for either WITCHELL or ROBINS.

Hope this is of some use to you and helps you move forward with your puzzle
