There is also this baptism Mary Frances Keyworth England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 christening: 29 August 1858 Caistor, Lincs, England residence: Caistor, Lincolnshire, England mother: Charlotte Keyworth who would be the Mary F Keyworth, granddaughter in the 1861 census At her marriage she indicated that her father was George Robinson Mary Frances Keyworth England Marriages, 1538–1973 birth: 1859 marriage: 1879 Caistor, Lincs, England father:George Robinson spouse:Joseph Mellor other:John Mellor Who did Henry say his father was when he married ? Charlotte (still living at home) was old enough to have had a child in 1850 and there is a Fanny Keyworth (no Charlotte to be found), house servant in Caistor in 1861.
