Hi Gwen

Once you've told us who you are hoping to find and where, can you let us know what sort of information you would like help with: births, marriages and deaths, census.

We are unable to help find living people due to privacy issues.

Thanks, I already have the marriage certifcate is the information free from National Archives, Gwen

No, the info isn't 'free' it's on a subscription site.

Do you have an actual death date for Simon?

Have you managed to find Robert and Sarah in the censuses from 1851 onwards?

Hi

It depends what sort of records you want to search. If you visit The National Archives then searching records there is free. The National Archives has a vast amount of records, a small amount of which are accessible on the internet. To view any of the records, not just the indexes does cost.

Have you any reason to believe Robert's father ever came to London?

1851 census HO107 1526 folio 16
Duke Street St Bartholomew the Great City of London
Robert Sandford 25 Head Married Norfolk
Sarah Sandford 19 Wife Married London

On the 1871 census Robert states his birthplace as Saxham Suffolk (confirmed by the 1891 census in Southchurch Essex) his age as 46, and his occupation as a sewing machine maker.

There are two places called Saxham in Suffolk - Great or Little Saxham. Great Saxham has coverage for the period you are interested in on the IGI, Little Saxham doesn't.

There is no death registration for a Simon Sandford in the civil registration starting 1st July 1837.

There is this Prerogative Court of Canterbury will (at The National Archives) for a Simon Sandford in Suffolk but not a brewer. He might have a connection or he might not.
