Roberts/Robertson and the French connection

I think in the 1851 Census it says for Marie HELM/ROBERT…

sa femme, même profession (ie his wife, same profession = porcelainier = porcelain maker).

I'm trying to find a better copy of the census to double check, but am pretty sure that's what it says.

Can't find a Death Certificate for Jean / John in France for the period you've suggested. Sorry!

OK, that would suggest he died in England most likely, unless he seperated from his wife, but then I doubt she would have put widow on her 1861 London census entry..
I'll come back to the rest of the family once I've got it all sorted out.
