Can anyone help?

I am unable to find the following in a census of 1851...should be Newcastle, All Saints

Parents:
William b 1802-6 and Isabella (Sutton) Lindsey b1807. William was a waterman

Children:
Robinson Sutton b 1827
William b 1829
Edward b 1831
Elizabeth b 1832
George b 1836

Thanks in anticipation...Doug

Robinson married later in 1851, so he can't be far away!!

Hi..yes and thanks.

Robinson was my g-g-g-grandfather and he married Martha Whitehead. He unfortunately died in 1854 age 27 of a bowel infection probably as a result of the cholera epidemics in Newcastle.

It's his father William I'm trying to nail down.

His father was probably Edward Lindsey and his mother Ann Matfin, problem is the marriage says he married Elizabeth Matfin, her sister !!!

Many thanks for the help it's much appreciated.

I think Robinson Sutton Lindsey may have been with his grandfather Robinson Sutton at this time, there is a Robinson Sutton living with them but they had 4 daughters, so I think that's problem solved...many thanks...now to see if I can get any further back !!!
