I should have looked it up before I sent the email to Rosie, commenting of the age problem between the 1861 and 1871 Census. It is a shame we cannot find Robert at home with is parents as a young lad. Though it has to be him in the 1851 Census in Salthouse, as this is where he met his future wife. What a strange name for a village, Salthouse. Though I suppose it must mean that it had a lot of Salthouses for salting the fish. I remember I watched one of Rick Stein's cooking shows on cable not long ago and he was at a village where they salted the fish in these old timber sheds. I just Googled Salthouse and saw the lovely old church, on a sloping green hill near the sea and then photographs of the interior. I suppose that may have been where Robert married Mary Ann. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information you have sent. I do appreciate all the help I have been given by the Norfolk Listers. Also, if anyone would like any help in tracing a rellie that appears to have fallen off the tree never to be found, they may have been given a free South Sea voyage to the Antipodes, below deck in chains. You never know and I would love to help if I can. Please do not hesitate to contact me off List.
