Subject: Robert Coombs, Maiden Newton 1861/71 Census Look-up
Date: Sat, 03 Jul 1999 17:39:32 -0400

Robert Coombs was born abt 1801 in Maiden Newton and buried there on
September 19th 1875. Robert was the son of Thomas Coombs and Sarah Smith
and brother to my direct ancestor James. I am attempting to connect some
apparently un-related Coombs in the 1881 census where the head of the
household is widowed,

Could anyone with access to the 61 or 71 census see if Robert was in fact
resident in Maiden Newton or Frome Vauchurch at that time and provide
details of family members.

Robert was also known to have had another brother by the name of Thomas who
was baptised in 1805 at Maiden Newton and about whom nothing further is known.

Many thanks in advance.
