	That family in 1881 - no Robert, which would fit. BUT a son of that age would probably have left home by then in any case, for work.

	A birth in 3rd qtr of 1860 would give a birth year of 1861 on censuses

	There's no mariage of a Sarah Sewell or variation 1860-1871 in Sunderland. Can't see an unmarried Sarah Sewell of a feasible age in 1851 or 1861 in Bishopwearmouth - or Sunderland as a whole.

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,764 Send Message	As only the mother’s name is shown could it mean she wasn’t married. Could Sarah have married and Robert shown on the census under his stepfathers name.
