Robert# Caborn

  Notes:

Got parental information from Ernest Caborn research, as supplied by Catherine Atkin. Although this is not conclusive proof that it is the same family I am 99.9% certain as;.
1.Ernest has Robert as living 1812-1912 and born in Partney. Independently Alison Tasker has him as living till four months short of his 100th birthday.
2.I already had Sarah as Robert's sister due to her living with him in '51 census. And had already identified Wilkinson as possible husband. Again this matches with Ernest's research.
Changed YoB of Robert due to Ernest research, age seems uncertain in later years anyway !

Got marriage to first wife from familysearch.org (although that says Robert Cabourne).

1841 census; living in Partney (Age ~25) with first wife Eliza, George and John. Occupation; Ag.Labourer.

1851 census (incorrectly indexed on ancestry.co.uk as Cabon) living (age 36) in Partney, Lincs with sister and children. Wife not in house. Occupation; Agricultural Labourer. Would presume 1st wife died by this time, but does appear to say he is married.

According to ancestry a Robert Caborn got married in E Yorks in Q1 1856, but location seems unlikely. familysearch.org doesn't find second marriage either. But Alison Tasker thinks is Gant, in which case it IS the 1856 E Yorks one - have put that for now , but needs more certainty really.

1861 Census (age 46). Living at Spilsby Road, Partney, Lincs. with second wife and children and sister Mary Wilkinson. Occupation; Agricultural Labourer.

1871 census; (Incorrectly indexed as Coborn. on ancestry) Living (Aged 57) at Louth Road, Partney with wife and children. Occupation; Agricultural Labourer.

1881 Census; (Looks odd due to age, but depends on month of census and his PoB and Wife's name and wife PoB and some of children all match so 99% sure it's him). Living (aged 70) in Partney with wife and children. Occupation; Agricultural Labourer.

1891 Census; Living (aged 78) in Partney with wife and Betsy and three granddaughters (but don't know who's children they are). Occupation; Agricultural Labourer. The grand daughters (all surname Caborn and all born in Partney) are; Elizabeth A.K.(6yrs) - see under Ann Caborn
Annie E.(7yrs) - need to look into
Gertrude M.(7 months) - see under Fanny Caborn
All born Partney.

1901 Census (age 88) living in Partney. Occupation 'General Labourer' - no mention of being retired! Living with wife and granddaughter Gertie (aged 10, born in Partney) - see under Fanny.

From Alison Tasker; died four months short of his 100th birthday ! Can't find death record on ancestry or familysearch.
