Looking for 'Uncle Arthur'. 1891/1901 Census pretty please.

[PSM]

Hi I'm looking for someone my father knew as 'Uncle Arthur' Robinson. He lived in Leek, Staffordshire. My father knew him sometime around 1945. His wife's name was Sally. He was a farmer.

I'm trying to work out how he fitted in with our family. My G G Grandfather's name was Thomas Robinson, b. 1843, in Leek.

Any help would be wonderful 

(BTW I'm in Australia and my father migrated here in 1955)

You're obviously hopeful, but with so little info you'll be very lucky to find the link . . .You really need to start with Thomas Robinson b.1843 and work forwards - but it's a longshot

If you look at the 1911 census you have a choice of 7 Arthur's in Leek alone!

Here's a farming family in 1901 - the logic being the family name 'Thomas' - possibly Arthur wasn't even born by 1901?

1901 RG13/2625/32/11 - Mixon Hay, Onecote, Leek, Staffs
Thomas Robinson 30 - Head - Farmer - Leek
Jane 25 - Wife - Leek
Clara 4 - Daug - Bradnop
Thomas 2 Son - Bradnop

Thomas Robinson b.1843 Leek appears to be a confectioner in 1881 - bit distant from farming.

Yes, I agree it's a bit of a long shot, but Dad's pretty keen to find out. He's just handed me a photo of the guy with my Grandfather(dec.) and Grandmother (95y/o) next to him on a horse! (It was 1935 and they were 24 and 22 y/o). He looks around 40 (ish).

I agree with Laurina.

Looking around 40ish in 1935 doesn't have him in born bef or on 1891

However keep these for future reference

Yes we have his details, that's right he was a baker/confectioner. (Much beter than farming!!)

So you're descended from Maud Robinson? - Did she have any brothers?
