The births for the later children are on FreeBMD and are Henry 1855 K Lynn John 1857 Wisbeach Robert 1860 Wisbeach so Rosie correct in thinking enumerator's check misleading. Incidentally Family Search has a baptism in Walpole St Peter for Robert Walpole on 27 Jan 1828 mother Mary - no father given.

Hi, no worries , it is easily done as you say , and the enumerator is to blame but just in case we all went off on a search for an earlier marriage for Robert, he would , if the age of the 16year old been right , only 16 years old himself and even for the fens this is an unlikely early age for marriage !!! And I wonder if this 1828 Robert son of Mary is the 12 year old in the 1841 living at West Walton Smeeth . The 1841 Robert son of Robert and Mary aged 4 seems much closer to the 1861 Robert aged 32 . Prime Minister Robert Walpole was born in 1676 at Houghton Hall , and was the third of 17 children , 8 of whom died in infancy . Wikipedia has Robert as the only surviving son . PM Walpole married Catherine Shorter in 1700 and had 2 daus and 4 sons the 2nd Earl Robert had one son and it would seem that that son died without issue because Horace PMWalpole`s 4th son became the 4th Earl of Orford . Whilst this is Wikipedia it seems that any connection would be either illegitmate or earlier than PM Walpole , ie his father Robert and back . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Greenwood" <jeangreenwood@virginmedia.com> To: <norfolk@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 1:30 PM Subject: Re: [NFK] WALPOLES OF NORFOLK > The births for the later children are on FreeBMD and are > Henry 1855 K Lynn > John 1857 Wisbeach > Robert 1860 Wisbeach > so Rosie correct in thinking enumerator's check misleading. > > Incidentally Family Search has a baptism in Walpole St Peter for > Robert Walpole on 27 Jan 1828 mother Mary - no father given. > > HTH > > Jean > > > > > On 3 December 2011 13:16, elizabeth howard <elizgh@btinternet.com> wrote: > >> And just seen Rosie`s email , I wondered that , but the >> image >> seems to show that the black line alongside the ages of Henry , John and >> Robert show where the enumerator has ticked them off , checked them , >> rather than being a line indicating the age They seem different pen >> strokes from the age . ???? >> >> >> >> life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Janice Doughty" <adoughty01@optusnet.com.au> >> To: <NORFOLK@rootsweb.com> >> Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 12:36 AM >> Subject: [NFK] WALPOLES OF NORFOLK >> >> >> > Good morning Listers, >> > >> > I have joined the List hoping SKS can take me back further than the >> > marriage of Robert WALPOLE to Mary Ann ???? circa 1850 to 1853 (Robert >> > could have married either Mary Ann Parnell, Young or Holmes.
