  • 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?

      1 is aged 47 and is a Ship Joiner, living in Whitehaven - unlikely
