Some suggestions appreciated in my attempts to find my GGF Robert
Ingham. He was born in 1862 ( with twin brother James ) to Thomas and
Alice Ingham, in Heap Bridge, LAN but the family moved to Wrexham in
1868 ( Thomas' obit ). I have found Robert with his family in the
1871 census but in 1881 he is not there. His twin brother is still
living at home. I have made numerous searches using different names,
spelling and the like. I do have a copy of a pencil sketch that my
family assure me Robert completed in 1876. It is a copy of a French
painting and I am wondering if he might have gone to France to study
are at age 14 or so.
I have found him in the 1891 census married to Sarah (Powell) with
one child. He is a fouser ( which I assume is a farm worker - in 1901
he is a limer ). It would appear that if he did go to France to
study art it did not make him a living !!
Any suggestions as to locating him would be appreciated. Bob Scales
