This is going to be a longshot question - we have hit a brick wall with the STRONG family in England. Since Christmas when I found where Robert got married in 1813 Middlesex, we have been looking for names similar to those recorded within the family and the surrounding area. Two 'cousins' have found this family. The big question is; does any one have this family in their tree that would show who Alfred's father was and did his father have a brother call Robert, born about 1792. The 1881 census show the family as: Elizabeth A. STRONG Head M Female 36 Kensington, Middlesex, England Wife Of Plasterer Alfred STRONG Son U Male 15 Kensington, Middlesex, England Tobacco Pipe Maker Rosina STRONG Daur U Female 13 Kensington, Middlesex, England Scholar Wm.S. STRONG Son U Male 10 Shepherds Bush Kensington, Middlesex, England Scholar Albert STRONG Son U Male 7 Brimington Scholar Susanna STRONG Daur U Female 4 Brimington Scholar Fredk. STRONG Son U Male 1 Brimington The IGI & 1901 Census shows Marriage of Alfred Strong to Elizabeth Cridland 1865 St Decumans, Somerset. Alfred Strong born c1840 St Decumans, Somerset and Elizabeth Cridland Christened 1845 St Decumans, Somerset, England Children Rosina and Susannah Christening 3 Aug 1883 Brimington, Derby and 27 April 1883 Brimington, Derby. These other children were found on the 1901 census William Strong Age 29 born Kensington, Admin County Derbyshire, Civil Parish Brimington Occ Pipe Mouler.
