Robert Billups

Birth Name Robert Billups
Gender male
Age at Death unknown

Narrative

Robert is included him in this family on the strength of the work of the English Billups researchers. His marriage record says his father was named Thomas. The only other possible Thomas was the son of Thomas Billips and Susanna Nightingale. There are evidently no records of that man marrying or having a family. He died a pauper in Ramsey in 1847.

However his marriage record says he was an engineer, but the Billups .pdf files say that the Robert in this family was a market gardener in London. Perhaps the .pdf file is in error.
(Marriage record is at ancestry.com in London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921.)

An individual's posting at IGI might be referring to this man when it says he was born about 1816 in Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire, son of Thomas. But this is not from microfilmed information.

Robert was an engineer at the time of his marriage.

The English Billups transcriptions ask if this is the same Robert as the one living at
Grove Lane Greenwich in 1841, Bothleham St Grimsby in 1851, and 32 Cardiff Road Merthyr in 1861.
