Thread: Robert Thurston Finlow

Hi



I'm looking for the parents of Robert Thurston Finlow born MacClesfield 1882. The scenario is that I have a John Finlow married to a Sarah Thurston, however Sarah was born in 1829 so would be over 50 to have given birth to Robert LOL. Then I did wonder if maybe Robert was Alice West's son born possibly out of wedlock

In the 1881 Census Alice West was down as a visitor.

Source Citation: Class: RG11; Piece: 3491; Folio: 19; Page: 31; Line: ;

GSU roll: 1341837.

If anyone can do a lookup in the 1901 Census for Robert's parents that would be great.

Thanks.

Hi Pauline,



This looks like Roberts father in 1871, so you had the parents but just missed out another Robert Thurston Finlow/Findlow.
