Research Notes

The first name of Robert is recorded as Albert on the 1901 census but that is the only record for Albert - I believe it to be an enumerator error and should read Robert. I have entered Robert's birth record as a source, and the two censuses to record the discrepancy. His profile now needs merging with Harding-2426
