Hi, can you please help I am looking for a look up for Robert Osfield c1836
1871 census shows birthyear 1829
1881 shows 1825

He received a 4mth prison sentence 2.7.1883 for obtaining money by means of false pretences after a previous conviction for an indictable misdemeanour
-
Are you sure you have the right 1901 entry? Birthyear is 1841 and wife is Margaret - not Elizabeth
In 1891 they are indexed as ORFIELD RG12 Piece 4241 Folio 53 Page 16 and Robert is 50 b Brentford Middlesex

;)Thank you for the information, I am aware that a Robert Osfield is showing up with a Margaret and an Elizabeth poss 2 marriages?
1881 born in Waltham he is married to Elizabeth
1901 with Margaret born in Waltham
Waltham villiages are quite small and it seemed strange a man living in Newcastle would know of there existence, ??? so that is the best lead I have.
Please can you tell me where the the sentencing was in 1883.
Thank you so much 8)

Hi
The sentencing was in Durham
There is a very wide disparity in birthyears between the censuses
1825 b Waltham Berks (1881)
1829 b Reading (1871)
1841 b Brentford Middlesex (1891)
He died in 1910 aged 68 - birthyear 1841/42
Marriages June qtr 1885
Margaret Carroll Newcastle on Tyne 10b 110a
Robert Allen Osfield

1871 shows a son Daniel aged 3mths
In 1881 Daniel is in a young offenders institution
6 January1888 Northumberland Daniel John Osfield sentenced to 4mths in prison for housebreaking and larceny
4 July 1888 Northumberland he appeared on the following separate offences
Larceny & receiving - 9mths hard labour
Housebreaking - 3 months to run consecutively
Larceny & Receiving - further 3 mths to run consecutively
So he received a total of 15mths in all
Daniel died in 1945 in Exeter Devon

:-X Thank you so much for this information, now trying to piece together, not my family, but quite a shock for my cousin's husband!!!
I'm afraid over the years I take ages and birth places on census records with a pince of salt.
Again many thanks :)

Maybe a Red Herring;
1851 there is a Robert OSFIELD age 15, born c 1836, Norton, Yorkshire.
With Parents WILLIAM/ANN
HO107/2348/138/5
Robert OSFIELD sentenced 1878 to 6mths for Larceny in Yorks also. Trial date 15 Oct 1878.
Looking at the 1871 Census I think Catherine is Elizabeths Daughter as there is a gap in Childrens ages.
Tried to find them in 1861 with no luck.
-
The only suggestion I can make at the moment is to buy a copy of that 1885 marriage cert.
It should have his fathers name on it and should show if Robert was a widower as I can't find another earlier marriage for him to Elizabeth. There is no Elizabeth Osfield death between 1881-1891 either so perhaps they never married
Elizabeth was b Scotland but there is no Robert Osfield marriage on Scotlands People
freebmd has 2 marriage in Hartlepool Durham - Kate Allen Osfield in 1880 and Mary Allen Osfield in 1887
1871 has a daughter Catherine b Liverpool 1858 and a daughter Mary b Hartlepool 1865
