I have a Robert Champley born Eastington Durham in sept 1878.
He is on the 1911 Census as a coal miner in Prudhoe but can not find him on the 1901 1891 or 1881 census.
He is not John Robert or the Robert born in wingate.
His death is 1928 but can not find parents or census anywhere!
He was married to Eleanor Turner in 1902. Any help would be wonderful thank you
-
What information does his marriage give about him and his father, who were the witnesses
-
I don't have his wedding certificate that will be my next move. Was just wondering if you brilliant investigators could see something I couldn't first
-
If he is the Easington one could this be his birth
CHAMPLEY, ROBERT (No mothers maiden name listed - presumably illegitimate) -
1878 Sept Quarter in EASINGTON Volume 10A Page 433

Yes thats his birth. Did they show the mothers maiden name this early? Though is he is registered with that name at birth and still has it in 1911, why doesn't he show up in any census in between? Raised by some one else maybe and then reclaimed the name?

The GRO index shows mmn from 1837 https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp

Could he be Robert Shaw, 2, born Thornley in 1881?

I have been looking at this and was just going to post and see John has beaten me to it
RG11/4969 f75 p24
I also think he is the son of Elizabeth who married James Shaw ;D
-
So why Champley not Shaw in later years?
-
so born before they could get to the church!?
-
Maybe he was not James Shaw's son. His birth was registered as Champley.
Here is Elizabeth in 1871
