Trying to find a connection - Help required
Posted by: John Sparks (ID *****6527)	Date: August 09, 2005 at 17:48:32

In the 1861 Census I have two families with the same surname (Robertson), both heads of families have the same trade (Shipwright/Ship Joiner) and both families live in the same street (next door but one) and they are of the same generation. It seems to much of a coincidence for them not to be related in some way, but I am having difficulty proving it either way. Can anybody out there help?

Family 1 (Proven direct ancestor to me)
Living at 20 Great Kingfield Street, Ipswich, Suffolk.
William Read Robertson. Head. 28. Ship Joiner. b. Ipswich
Eliza Robertson. Wife. 24. b. Ipswich
Frederick W. Robertson. Son. 2. b. Ipswich
Edwin H. Robertson. Son. 2mth. b. Ipswich

Family 2
Living at 24 Great Kingfield Street, Ipswich, Suffolk.
Ebenezer Robertson. Head. 25. Shipwright. b. Stonham
Mary Robertson. Wife. 26. b. Stock, Suffolk
Mary A E Robertson. Dau. 4. Scholar. b. Ipswich.
Louisa E Robertson. Dau. 2. b. Ipswich
Ebenezer W Robertson. Son. 4mth. b. Ipswich
