Hi,
     Im not sure but I think East Sussex Records Office may have the records, Chris will probally Know. I see on the I.G.I that a Robert Grace married Sarah Reeves 1846 St Nicholas Brighton, was that your Robert. Can not find him 1871, will keep trying.Did he have any children?

Hi Diane
Yes Robert was married to Sarah and had children.
The only thing I couldn't understand was were was he in 1871.
I know he wasnt with Sarah at that time.It would be interesting to know how long he was in Steyning.
Thanks

I have a Robert Grace in Liverpool in 1871 married to a Catherine Mccomac. Robert born 1915. listed are children Peter 18, Michael 16. Eleanor 8 and Patrick 2.I have often wondered whether this was Robert,s second wife as such a big gap between Michael and Eleanor.

The whole Grace family seem to be pretty elusive  in 1871 ???
Have you found any of them?

for info. GRACE family on other censuses Brighton Sussex
