Looking for household details please of Robert Valis (Vallis/Vallas etc.) b 1837 in Horsham (based on 1861 Census details received).

The nearest date-wise Robert Vallis I have in my rellie list was born 1834 in Wincanton - and was residing St Clement Danes, Middlesex in 1851 - so he could have wandered further down??

Thanks in advance - HiFly

Hi, I can't find this Horsham Robert Vallis on either census. This is what I found,

1841 - High St. Wincanton, Somerset HO107/952/10/42/32
Sylvia VALLIS 30 Shopkeeper
Jane 12
Harry 9
Robert 7
Stephen 5
All born Somerset

1851 - St. Clement Danes. HO107/1511/345/16

Silvia VALLIS head 42 shoebinder b. Wincanton, Somerset
Robert 17 Pub???? b. ditto
Stephen 16 waiter ditto

HiFly, I can't find the Robert you refer to on the 1861. Do you have the reference?

Thanks Jane - much appreciated - looks like I owe you a cup of cocoa!

This is what I got from another researcher - I should have asked for the reference but took it in good faith (at the time).
Robert Valis 1837 Born Horsham, Sussex
Eliza 1847
Census 1861 - Residence Crawley Rd, Horsham, Sussex, England

Children
Eliza 1871
Charles B 1875
Caroline 1877
Kate E 1879

As I do have a lot of Vallis rellies - i was trying to establish if they where an off-shoot of one of the families i know about. (OK OK I know that if they are Vallis's they must be somehow).

Looking at my files I did spot a Caroline Villis b 1876 in Penllyne, Glamorgan - as per 1881 Census but father is a different name - so I don't think it's her.

Thanks again - HiFly

I think your other researcher was dreaming! I've checked the 1861 thoroughly using those details & even left out the surname to catch any bad spellings for both Robert & Eliza...nothing. There's something very out of whack with that information, if Eliza was Roberts wife she was only 14! All the children mentioned were born after 1861, how could they be on the 1861 census? Sooo, I went to 1881 & the information is from the 1881 census, NOT 1861!

1881 - Crawley Rd, Horsham RG11/1108/61/27

Robert VALIS? 44 lab b. Horsham
Eliza 34 ditto
Eliza 10 ditto
Charles B 6 ditto
Caroline 4 ditto
Kate E 2 ditto

There is a question mark on the transcription of the surname, so it could be Valis but the image is not clear.
