Robert Huston, Dunaghy
« on: Friday 23 February 07 17:12 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I am looking for Robert Huston, born about 1790. In the 1851 census his occupation is listed as a "Linen Weaver" living in Dunaghy. However in 1851 he was a servant to the Alexander family.

We think he had at least 2 sons, John, who emigrated to the USA and Robert, born about 1813 who emigrated to England, married in Gloucester and settled in Birmingham. Robert Huston junior became Robert Hewston on the 1861 census. We also think that both sons emigrated since they were on the run for a crime.

I would like to confirm the link between the 2 Roberts

Thanks

Andrew Hewston
