Hi

On the 1871 Robertina (transcribed as Rosina for anybody looking!) was said to be from Montrose, Scotland. Is this where the confusion lies?

Alice silver is  a very unusual name was silver her second name or full name. I wondered  as my great grandmother was very dark skinned, possibly the sergeants were from iireland my mother said once that alice Hurley was welsh. Is there any info on robertina sergeant birthplace, which would be great to kn ow.  Thank you.

And going back to 1861 . .

Wapping
Grace Jolly 43 married, sub ships carpenters wife bn Scotland
James 18 dock labourer bn Scotland
Robertina 14 bn Scotlnad
John 8 bn Middx St George
William 6 bn Middx St George

So we see that the family appears to have moved to London from Scotland at some point between Robertinas birth amd Johns birth.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex
