	The 1861 census has been examined and reads as follows: ROBINSON, Saml Wm Head Married M 39 1822 Carpenter Mareham on the Hill, England, York ROBINSON, Ann Wife Married F 42 1819 Thornton, England, ditto ROBINSON, George Son Unmarried M 13 1848 Scholar Langton, England, ditto ROBINSON, Cornelius Son Unmarried M 11 1850 Scholar ditto ROBINSON, Eliza Daughter Unmarried F 9 1852 Scholar ditto -----PAGE BREAK---- ROBINSON, Mary Daughter Unmarried F 7 1854 Langton, England, York ROBINSON, Rosamond Daughter Unmarried F 5 1856 ditto ROBINSON, Toynbee Son Unmarried M 2 1859 Sleaford, England Lincoln GROCER, Henry Lodger Unmarried M 28 1833 Fireman Keston, England Rutland It seems as though the underlined entries have been added into the "Whether Blind or Deaf-and-Dumb" column after the "Where Born" column has been completed as the writing may be in a different pen? Mareham, Thornton, Langton and Sleaford are all Lincolnshire villages which tie in with the individuals concerned so the references to York are all incorrect.

Other Details

The 1861 census shows Samuel born at Mareham on the Hill, Yorkshire, England. Mareham on the Hill is a village and civil parish about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south-east from the town of Horncastle, Lincolnshire. Mareham on the Hill is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as having one household and 8 acres (0.032 km2) of woodland. The ecclesiastical parish is Mareham on the Hill, part of The Fen and Hill Group of the Deanery of Horncastle.

Note on Marriage to Ann ALCOCK

Samuel seems to have a new wife in the 1881 census. I think it might be that Ann (ALCOCK) died Q2 1874 in St Pancras age 56, and Samuel remarried to a Mary Ann who was born circa 1817. Further investigation required.

UPDATE - There is a marrige in Wandsworth in December quarter 1875 between a Samuel William Robinson and a Mary Ann Kay which might fit the bill? It is more than possible that Mary Ann was married before and KAY was her married name.
