Hi

If you find the records on A2A as being at East Sussex Record Office, http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/leisureandtourism/localandfamilyhistory/esro/visit/form3.htm you can get them photocopied.  It does cost a little but for something important may well be worth it.

I have seen on the East Sussex site that they have the records for Lewes House of Correction.  I can't find a specific reference for Robert Taylor on A2A though.  Do you think the record office would give information without a specific reference?  All I know is that there was a Robert Taylor there in 1841 as per census.

By the way I think I can discount the Oxford birth as he still seems to be in Oxford in 1901 and I know where mine is then!

My guess is in that case he was born just before Civil registration started.  I have one of those too 

You could always try phoning the Record Office, generally I find them very helpful.

Thanks Kerry I'll try phoning them.  I also think he was either before registration or they didn't bother - makes life difficult, thats why I was hoping for a baptism somewhere, but not having much luck with that either.
