The 1841 Census does not give the place of birth as Chelsfield, but does indicate a birth in Kent. Ages in the 1841 census are approximate, so "40" may not be exact. I would think that the 1851 data is more likely to be correct, i.e born closer to 1790 than to 1800. The IGI gives likely baptisms of the children of Robert & Sarah: Robert WOOLFORD 12 Jun 1814 in Shorne, Kent James WOLFORD 18 Jun 1820 in Chelsfield, Kent Richard WOLFORD 20 Feb 1825 in Chelsfield, Kent I've not found baptism of William age 8 in 1841. In the 1871 census his birth place is given as Chelsfield, in 1901 & 1911 as St Paul Cray. According to a Tree on Ancestry: http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/729260/person/-1651917301 Robert Woolford was baptized 12 Dec 1790 at St Leonard Streatham, son of another Robeet & sarah WOOLFORD. Sarah (bap 1790) was married to Sarah TAMPLIN. Their Banns were read in 1813 in Caterham, with Robert WOOLFORD being described as being from Cudham. So, I don;t think that Robert is a son of Robert (born about 1774) married to Joan Regards Peter Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
