Hi,
Been making good progress through the Censuses in Richmond with several generations born there of the ROBINSON family.
But then by the 1851 Census there’s an “outsider” born in a place I can’t decipher.  A long word beginning with a B…
Details: a Christopher ROBINSON aged 60, head of the family living at Albert Place, Richmond.  HO 107 and is 2381 the page number?
Can anyone help me with it, please…?

The reference is HO107/2381/f. 68 /p.9.

I think the birthplace is Brompton on Swale (long ‘s’ at the start of Swale).

Hi again Jen B!
And in almost record response time too, you are most probably right on the money with that suggestion.  Many thanks…
Keith
Can I also ask if Greta Bridge is far away from Richmond, which was where the first of Christopher and Sarah ROBINSON’s five children was born, before the next four were birthed in Richmond?

…oh, and yes, Neale 1961 had forgotten all about the printed transcriptions provided these days.  Many thanks for that too…

If you look at a map, you will see that Richmond (North Yorkshire) and Greta Bridge are about 10 miles apart.

Great, Neale, so nobody travelled very far to get on with the next stage in their lives…
