I am trying to find some information about my great-great grandfather who is listed on several census returns as being from Oakham. I calculate his birth to be around 1809 from the ages given, he appears on the 1851 census as age 42, trade Tailor Journeyman, married to Letitia Roe and living in the Homerton area of East London. He also appears on the 1841 census living in Aldersgate.
As the majority of both sides of my family lived in the East End over the decades, I'm curious as to what took my g g Grandfather South? Love - or work?
Any info would be very much appreciated.

Hi there,
IGI has two baptisms for Robert ROWE and Latitia/Letitia in Bray, Berkshire [C018594]:
Robert 13 Feb 1831
William Henry 09 Oct 1831
Is it possible they lived there for a while before London? Or is this a different couple?
You haven't found where they married?

Not sure if this is your Robert, but it seems this is the above couples marriage:
Robert ROE/ Lettice LOVEGROVE 27 April 1829

Lovegrove seems to be a Barkshire name, but there are Ro(w)(e)'s in Berks too, including some Roberts going way back.....looking less likely this is your Robert, sorry!

birdlip, I'm having a job to keep up with you!!! I'm still not dismissing this as 1851 has Letitia born in Harpsden, Oxfordshire. Given that Rutland and Oxon are quite a way apart, there is some geographic factor that brought this couple together. You'd have the same sort of query if you were someone in the future trying to work out how I came to be here in the Midlands! As always, my thanks
