Census Look up - HAYES
« on: Sunday 01 February 09 14:00 GMT (UK) »
I have found a Robert Hayes b. 1845 Orwell, Cambs in the 1881 census in Orwell with his wife, Gertrude, and 7 children.  His occupation is 'Coprolite digger' and this has intruiged me.  By 1901 he is a 'Farm Lab Shepherd', but I'd love to know what he did on any other census.

If anybody can give me a look up on any other census I would love to know what his occupation's were.

Kind regards

KA

He's an agricultural labourer in 1891 and appears to have 9 children living with him, including a son called Isaac Gill.  Would you like the full details?

Just checked the 1881 and all the boys are coprolite diggers. It's not a million miles away from being an ag lab. See here:

Do you have this?

Marriages Dec 1867
Gertrude Gill and Robert Hayes
Caxton
3b 1027

Looks like Isaac may be illegitimate or from a previous marriage of Gertrude.
This will tell you:
Births Mar 1866
Isaac Gill
Caxton
3b 470

Thank you all for that.  Most interesting.

Ruskie,

Yes please for the 1891 details.  As there is an 'extra' child there (Issac) I'd like to follow him through.

Many thanks.
