Did your Robert marry an Ann Newall? The FamilySearchPilot site says a Robert Cawley wed an Anne Newell in 1815.

What year does he last appear in any directories as a tailor?

Hello Coombs

Sorry for the delay in replying.  Yes I have that one but not sure if it is the correct one, have still to confirm.  I have several children of Robert & Ann.  Could you tell me do you know if Church Hulme, Over & Tarvin are near to each other?

Thats OK I have never been to Cheshire.

He may have left a will. He died after 1858 and after 1858 wills were probated nationally.

I have family members in Cheshire who were watermen. They were based in Northwich area, so probably worked on the River Weaver carrying Salt to liverpool. They would pick up raw sugar and take it along to the Sankey navigation and then to Newton le Willows sugar refinery. They then loaded up with coal,which they took back to Northwich where salt was produced by evaporation of brine from the salt mines.

The Surnames were Littler, Brown and Alcock
