I am stucj with my family search I am trying to look into my grandma's side but I have come to a dead end. I have Robert graves who was born 1853 father is John Graves. Robert married Annie Oldham in 1883 in Newark Notts. I have found a birth that i think may be him but was hoping someone may be able to help before I purchase anymore birth or marriage certs, getting quite a collection. the birth I have is louth third quarter 1853.
If any of this is part of anyones tree or may be able to help pointing me in another direction I really would appreciate the help.
Cheers

Do you have Robert and Annie on any census ?
It looks like the Robert graves b. 1853 Louth Lincoln is in Cardiff in 1891 and single????
Could you post details from marriage cert ? -Robert's fathers occupation and witnesses??

I found a Robert who may be yours in the 1861 census, aged 9, born Louth Park, but the "head of family absent visiting friends" - (I've not seen that before) - no mother named.

Ruskie- I think that is the same Robert who is in Cardiff in 1891 -single
think he is a servant in Yorks in 1871

Hi Suz
Fathers name is John Graves deceased at time of marriage in 1883 he was a Coal Dealer It is really hard to make out what the witness names are. they are both Oldham's which is Roberts wife Annie's maiden name.
Can't find them on a census but know they had a son called Josephe Edward Graves born in Claypole 02 May 1892. if this helps at all??
Ruskie - it dosen't supprise me finding no Mum on census and dad not there seems to be my luck at the moment!!
Thanks heaps for all your help.

Annie was 25yrs at tinme of marriage in 1883 not too sure on were she was born at time of marriage it looks like she was in Mansfield but it's very hard to read.
