Hi!
Have you found Robert, his wife Charlotte and their children living in Cirencester in the 1881 census?
It's just that Robert's place of birth is given as .....stone and there just happens to be an entry for the christening of a Robert Mawby, the son of William and Mary Mawby, on 22nd July 1838 at Atherstone, near Tamworth, on the International Genealogical Index (
www.familysearch.org).
If this is the Robert you are looking for, his birth was registered in the district of Atherstone in the Qtr to Sept 1838 (Vol 16 Page 191).
I have also come across registrations for the birth of some of the children:
Charlotte Mary Qtr to Dec 1865 Isle of Wight
Frank Qtr to Dec 1871 Watford
Rosa Qtr to Mar 1876 Cirencester
Ellen Qtr to Dec 1878 Cirencester
There was also a record for the registration of the birth of Ada Elizabeth Mawby in the Qtr to Mar 1864 in the Isle of Wight. I think Ada was also one of Robert and Charlotte's children, as there is a record for her marriage (to either Walter John Hayes or Arthur John Tranter) in the district of Cirencester in the Qtr to Dec 1889.
Incidentally, Ada appears in the 1881 Census as Ada Elizabeth Manby, age 17, born at Bonchurch in the Isle of Wight. She was a visitor at the house of Edwin Stevenson in Cheltenham Road, Stratton, Glos.
I hope this helps!
