Hi Goeffe

Sorry, didn't know the places for the earlier census.

So he didn't move south until the 1870's.  So the Whicham would be nearer Egton or he ncould have moved within the area.

Problem is if he was an Ag labourer he could have been moving every two minutes - or every season anyway!  Sohe could be in practically any register in the Egremont area.

Hmmm!??!

HI

Link to gaps in the IGI.

The big one in the are I see in the area at that date is Cleator.

Problem is ag lba moved so often between censuses and also could have a few children baptised together at a later date - when they were near a chuch they knew?  When they coukld get to service? ??

Sorry to mislead emms  the places noted were his birthplaces.  He was always "down south".

Hi Jeff

Thanks for clarifying.  An even wider web to search!  Didn't make it easier for us did they?  I'll have a look at the actual census and see if anything suggests itself.

By the way, the only reason I said Lancashire, was that at the time the area was in Lancashire.  As far as many Lancastrians are concerned it still is! 

Cumbria have the original for Egton at Barrow.  Problem is getting anyone to go - even when the roads aren't flooded! 

Often if there's a copy at Preston, there are more people going than out in the sticks here, if we think we've prevailed on the \ro staff enough.

Good hunting!

Thanks Emms for your words of wisdom,I have been to Barrow R.O. looked at parish registers for Egton cum newland found his wife Jane there but no Robert...was told that Egremont parish registers were at Whitehaven.Contacted them but no Robert born in 1793 or 1798 at Egremont.The cement in the wall is still rock hard.Will ponder over all you said and stick a pin in the map of cumbria.He certainly was a wanderer so was his grand son Robert 1872 he moved from Barrow to Millom the to Middlesbrough then to Thirsk then Retford and finally settling in Worksop in Nottingham.Now I know where I ve got the wanderlust from im always travelling across Europe and Brittain.Thanks Emms do post another note.wishes n fishes are my favourite dishes Jeff2.

So what was his wife's maiden name?

Hi Jeff2 and Goeffe

I wonder if he was involved in the hiring fairs, Thomas Hardy style?  He could have gone all over!

Good thinking Goeffe.  Wife's maiden name would really help!  I will start concentrating.  It's the euphoria of just r3eceiving huge A3 boarded envelope from N Archives with ggrandfather's National Marines service record.  I only just discovered he was in them!

Going back to Jeffersons - not least of thefine liquor inporters fame, I do associate the name more with the north of the county from south of Carlisle to the West coast ports such as Whitehaven.  So it would make sense if Robert were born further north and Jane were the South Lakes party.

1841 says they were living in Egton in the parish/district of Ulverston.
