Hallo yorky,
Here is 1841 census for Bramcote Dist 22 Nottinghamshire
Crown Copyrightcare of TNA
Piece 1856, book 13, Folio 8, page 4
Reg district Shardlow Sub reg dist Stapleford
Town St, Robert Gordon , head 30 lace maker NO(not born in county)
Frances Gordon wife 30 y
Henry gordon son 8
Sarah gordon dau. 8
hannah Gordon dau 3
Millicent dau 1
All children born in Notts.
Three deaths for a Robert Gordon in 1844, 1848 and Oct 1851.(one in Radford notts Apl/May/June 1844)
So Robert was not born in Nottinghamshire and if he did not die before 1851 his birthplace will show on that.
Cannot see him on 1851. Think Frances has remarried a Mr Hewer/Hewet? and is living in Radford Notts with her two daughters Mellicent Gordon 10 and Amelia 9.

Many Thanks Lola, I did not realise Frances had remarried? I think the 1844 Death Radford for Robert could be right as that where the family ended up.?Thanks for your Help.Just a case finding where he came from now.?

Thanks again Lola like you i have been unable to find a marriage for Frances . Also as you said no sign of a Husband (strange that) I am not familiar with name Hemel Etc Frances maiden name was Bramley. I will try the Scotland Angle for Robert but its a case of finding the right one.
Ithink the Hemel or whatever is mistranscribed. They had Frances and the children mistranscribed on the 1841!
Bramley might help . I will look again. Only mentioned Scotland as there were quite a few Robert Gordon/Gorden in Scotland. Have marriage for Frances Gordon in 1846 Nottingham but cannot make out who she married without sending for cert. Will try on free bmd and see if that works.
I have a Robert Gordon bap 27th Oct 1811 Dornoch Sutherland.... but?.
Cannot find a baptism for Sarah either.
Frances married David Arnall or Arnatt. Dec 1846. (Free bmd )

Once again Thanks Lola. This does seem to be the only Marriage that fits? And I suppose Arnall does sound a bit like Hemel
