  Robert married his wife Sarah about 1847 and the first of their seven children was born in 1848 at Bradford.
  By 1851 he was back in Kettlewell and on the census returns he was described as ''formerly a builder and joiner'' but apart from that no trade was given.
  However by 1871 he was living at Little Horton, Bradford and trading as a wool merchant and a soap manufacturer.
  By the time of the Census of 1881 Robert was living at 10 Lawn Road, Hampstead, London and in business as Stock and Share Dealer. At that time he was employing two of his sons as clerks.
