Dear Anne,
Robert was in fact born at BOURNE Lincs.in 1849 as was Frances 1853.He was the son of Matthew and Phoebe(Hickson).Phoebe died the same year as Robert was born and Matthew the following year.This meant that Robert and his 4 bros.+ sis.were placed in the BOURNE workhouse.At the time of the1881 census Robert(ironstone miner)and Frances were living with their 3 dtrs.Frances Phoebe b1875 Mary Susannah b1876 +Sarah Jane b1878 at 21 Dundas St.Lofthouse York.All the children were born "Loftus York"Robert died 1894 + Frances died 1927 both deaths registered Mansfield.Matthew's Parents Thomas + Elizabeth(Bursnall)Thomas had 3 sis. +5 bros.one of whom was my GGGf WORTLEY BRIGHTMAN.Their parents were Robert + Elizabeth(Stangar).I,m guessing you are descended from one of Robert,s 3 dtrs.?or did they have more children that I have not connected?Have all St.Cath,s references and lots of dates if you need them.Eager for any info you can supply me!
David Brightman.
