However, I think I am going to add some confusion with some BMD info..

Robert has several birthdates (or mistranscriptions). FreeBMD has his death in December 1869, aged 53 - therefore born abt. 1816 and age 26 on marriage; in 1871 census he gives his age as 40 - therefore born abt 1831 - obviously incorrect as he and Ann were married in June 1842, both "öf full age" on the copy of the marriage certificate which I have.
Ann's death on FreeBMD is recorded in June 1858, following the birth of her 7th child. Birth is 1822 - so 20 at marriage.
 
 Any further comments would be very much appreciated. Your information is extremely interesting .
 With many thanks

A very big thank you to all who have "restored" Robert and Ann, plus a  big thank you to all who have provided interesting and knowledgeable information on photographic techniques and equipment and clothing of the period - obvously now not 1842, but late 1850s-early 1860s.

I am very, very appreciative of your time and efforts and amazing restorations.

With many thanks
