    Default Missing Great Grandfather

    I can find no record of my Great Grandfathers death. His name was Robert Lanham born 1827 in Hampshire and married in 1848 to Ann. Any clues?

    Hi
    Thanks marriage is definitely them as Anns maiden name was Bright and for whatever reason three of Anns children were brought up by her sister Sarah (including my Grandmother). Death could be him but in the 1841 census ther is a Thomas Lanham born 1821 and Robert was born 1827.
