Robert Andrews and Family Culmstock-Devon

[Ron Leech]

I have Robert Andrews aged 57 listed in the 1851 census as born and living in Culmstock Devon. I would be grateful for any information about him and his family in the of other census 1841, 1861, 1871 and 1891.

Robert does not appear to be listed in 1881 so presumably has died before this took place.

His family in 1851 is listed as:
Louisa ANDREWS Wife age 51 born Culmstock-Devon
William ANDREWS Son U age 23 M Carpenter Culmstock-Devon
Robert ANDREWS Son U 21 M Carpenter Culmstock-Devon
Louisa ANDREWS Daur U 19 F Dress Maker Culmstock-Devon
Elizabeth ANDREWS Daur U 16 F Dress Maker Culmstock-Devon
Ann ANDREWS Daur U 15 F Scholar Culmstock-Devon
Samuel ANDREWS Son U 12 M Errand Boy Culmstock-Devon
Eliza ANDREWS Daur U 5 F Scholar Culmstock-Devon

Son Samuel is listed in the 1881 census togther with his wife and children but I have not been able to find any of the other members.

Any help gratefully received.

My word Peggy you have been busy. Thank you very much, that information will help us understand things a little clearer. The Andrews and Manning families in Culmstock seem to be intertwined with my Taylor family from Hackney.

Caroline Andrews (nee Taylor) born in Hackney being the first example that I came across. She is probably the grandaughter of a lady called Grace Manning who married George Taylor. I believe that Grace had an elder brother Robert. Robert is the grandfather on the maternal side of Carolines husband Samuel Andrews.

This has led us (a cousin in America and myself) to wonder if the Taylor family came from the Culmstock area or was it a business connection?

Once again many thanks
