What does Anglis mean ? is that a Scots word for English - maybe Latin thinking of the times....

About the Annie Oakley part - did you mean she was an "Unfortunate " or unfortunately named Annie 

Maybe it was the real one - where was her place of birth   I'm just kidding..

I was just wondering if it was the same school as Claude but no.... !!

"Anglis" is just what Jonathan made of the middle name but to me it reads "Duglis" which goes very well with the birth I found.

Quote from Jonathan

1861 (might be a red herring) but ... (says Robinson on the page)

10 Mornington Road, Bromley, Middx (Poplar)

John Robinson 26 Limehouse, Middlesex, England Head 
Jane Robinson 27 Stepney, Middlesex, England Wife 
Geo Anglis?? Robinson 1 Bromley, Middlesex, England Son 
Augusta Robinson 2 Bromley, Middlesex, England Daughter 
Mary Marshal Robinson 17 Limehouse, Middlesex, England Sister-in-law 
Eliza Taylor 21 Hertford, Hertfordshire, England Servant 
Jane Buster 21 Stepney, Middlesex, England Servant 

John is a Sail Maker and Ships Chandler.

Mary Marshal Robinson it states is Single 

RG9/302
Folio:    194 
Page:    17 

The Augusta actually reads 2 months on the scan.

Guess what I've found and if you read the 1861 scan very closely you can make a Duglis of the  Anglis?

I agree Mary, it looks like it could be Douglas.  Moreover, John 'Robinson' actually looks like Robertson onthe scan, although all the others are enumerated (wrongly?) as Robinson.

Excuse me Paul -  but where have you been
weren't you going to be up all night 'cos it was Friday

PS is Little Meols - Southport?

[MaryA]

Thought I would let others give their opinion - Jonathan must have copied from what the transcriber thought. Yes Paul, I thought it looked like Robertson too.

The Baileys in 1861 don't appear to have a school then, have you seen the daughter's occupation? "Nothing" - seems like teenagers over the years haven't changed much  

Annie - just saw your reply to Paul, North Meols is part of Southport, but Little Meols seems to have changed and become part of Hoylake between one census and another - 1861 - 1871 I think it was.  There is also a place on the Wirral still called Meols.

How did I suddenly become a Senior? It must be all these Robertson postings!

This does NOT get the housework done!

Knowing how Robinson and Robertson can get mixed up with enumerators, could George Robertson senior have moved from ships chandler to be dealing in coal by 1861:

4 Grove Place Hackney
George Robinson 74 coal merchant b. Durham Bishop Wearmouth
Eliza wife 62 b Pembroke Milford Haven
Louisa dau. 35 b Middlesex Camden Town
Mary dau. 23 b Essex Woodford
James son 18 b Middlesex Homerton clerk and stock broker

That's getting up closer to Scotland all the time!
