1851 Sarah with other grandparents:

1851 HO107/1936 fol.481 p.45
Mendip View House, Weston S M
George MAIN head m 50 Potter  East Brent, Som
Sarah      "    wife  m  57             Mark?  Som
Henery    "     son      14              Bridgwater
Sarah PARR grand dau  7 Living at home  Milton Som

Marriage for Robert PARR to Mary Ann MAIN  - June Qu 1842 Axbridge 10/513

- this could be his 1st marriage and the above are obviously her parents.  That might explain why the later Mary was born Wales and why Amelia appeared in 1871 but not 1861 perhaps, and she was born around same time as Eliza, could be her mother married twice too!  Will sort it eventually!  Definitely Aberdare on one census and Abergavenny on the other.

I don't think the other Robert I found can be Robert's father, he's only 46 in  1851 and your Robert is 30, perhaps another family member

Going for a cuppa myself, more later

so much to take in- your brain is working far better than mine fot this time of night barbara as far as i can work it out it looks like charlottes mother could- or is the mary in the 1861 census then ... its never straight forward is it lol

[Ecneps]

No you need to put the census in order and not as I've given you them here, make a list of the children and their birthdates, see which census they're missing from - I think I still need to find Mary and Amelia in other census.  Amelia Parr is not a common name, and the only one I found was with other parents....?  Also the older Robert Parr wasn't a potter, he was an iron moulder so I won't bother with him for now,  I must have seen grandfather George Main was a potter and mixed them up -it is late, off to bed soon!

[julieweavers]

Yes ok then barbara i shall re- arrange them all tomorrow... like you say its really late lol and a hughe thanks again for all this help your giving  me!!! your a star

1841  Unfortunately Robert not with his parents so don't know who they are yet.  If you got one of his marriage certs (!) it would tell you his father's name & occupation

1841 HO107/968/8 fol.5 p.3
Wilcox Bldgs, Weston super Mare
Charles Phillips   25 Potter  (the chap Charlotte was servant to in 1871?)

Mary         "     6 months
Richard Vincent   24 Husbandry
Mary Ann  "         25
Robert PAR 20 Potter
William Hillier      15  Potter
John Loyde         23 Tile Maker
George Crees     21 Brickmaker
Martha Wookey  17 Tayloress

Something to make you think - In 1861 here's Grandad George with the Sarah and Mary who are already listed in 1861 with parents, maybe they spent time at both houses so much they were listed twice! Well the two houses are only 5 doors apart, and there were 6 other children 

1861 RG9/1673 fol.68 p.9
6 Pottery Cottages, Weston
George Main head m 60 Brick Maker  East Brent Somerset

Sarah Parr grand.dau 18 Laundress  Weston super Mare
Mary Parr grand.dau  16  Milliner       Uphill, Som

Off to bed, will look for Amelia tomorrow (today) maybe that will say something about a previous wife (or husband)

Morning Julie,

Here's George Main in 1841, was hoping to find his daughter Mary Ann before she married Robert Parr, but looks as if she'd already left home, will have a look for her elsewhere.   By the way, 1841 census has adult ages rounded down to the nearest 5 yrs

1841 HO107/971/4 fol.13 p.19
Ropers Lane, Bridgwater, Somerset
George MAIN  35  Brick maker
Sarah     "       40
Margaret "      15
Sarah      "      10
Henry      "       5
all born in county

There's a death on freebmd for a Mary Ann Parr in Axbridge 1858, if that's her, Robert may have married the Welsh Mary between then and 1861??
There's a marriage for Robert PARR in June Qu 1859 Axbridge 5c 1063 with a Mary Price on same page, she could be Welsh with a surname like Price...
will check other census for her
