Hi Ju,
Thanks for the reply, yes I think your info is correct,
I have recently managed to get a copy of my G.Grandads
birth certificate, which shows that
his Father was Robert From Atherstone.
Robert it seems fell on difficult times in later life.
I have found the 1891 census list for the Cirensester Union
Workhouse where he is recorded as being married aged 52
and working as an outfitters assistant.
Presumably Charlotte his wife is still alive at this point otherwise he would be recorded as a widower however there is no record of her being with him in the workhouse
or indeed any of his children
A little further investigation may reveal what became of them
Cheers
Ian
