Notes - Named as father on Robert Boulton's marriage cert
- In 1870 when Robert Boulton gets married he cites his father as
Robert Atkinson, Butcher
Does not say deceased, so assume still alive
Equally, assume that Butcher is current/recent occupation
Robert Boulton was born 1842, so assume that father was at least 16, max 50
This gives us a span of 1826 to 1792 for birth of Robert Atkinson
We don't know what county Robert Atkinson was born in
but we can assume living in Cumberland or Lancashire
Can we find any suitable Robert Atkinsons in the censuses?
