Irene, Thanks for your posting. Like Irene has said - Post your family trees and keep your fingers crossed that someone somewhere has some information on your family. I did and Irene was great and she not only pointed me in the right direction but handed me some of my family. I would really like to help Irene find her Robert. So if any of you have any information that will help Irene, plse pass it to her directly or post it to the list. Irene, I will check my 1881 census and will let you know if I come across anything.
