She was baptised 1788 so would only be about 43 in 1831, Libby.

Sorry to leave you all talking to each other - domestic duty calls.
1813 death is almost certainly Mary Ann b 1810 - there's no mention of her after. Sorry, I don't have any more witness details. Christiana's last child was Alfred James Samuel b 1831. Interesting about alt spellings of Headland - wonde rif that's been the sticking point?

Another day........ and I'd like to thank everyone for their input. I'm very grateful & mightily
impressed. At one point, I found it hard to keep up! You've given me food for thought re alt.name spelling, & some more leads on Robert, who could just be the link that solves this long standing puzzle. Please feel free to offer any other suggestions - I'm afraid I can't offer a prize to the one who cracks it,but I can assure you it would mean a great deal to me in memory of my late father. Vita.

They never cease to amaze me too Vita. I've been on GF for a few years now and can't believe how much they've helped me with my research .. and entertained me as well .. so if you ever need a tonic and have the time .. it is worth having a look .. Cheers from Aus. Julie

Thanks Julie - I'm really glad I was recommended. I've had input from other sites over the last couple of years, but I think this may top them all. Can't tell you how much I want to solve this one & I have a feeling this time.......
Bye from a cold & frosty UK. Vita.

I spent some time this morning trying to find earlier ref to William Headland b Uxbridge about 1787 who is on the 1851 and 1861 census and died in 1865. He's a tailor and a pauper and lost his wife before 1851. Before I spend any more time I thought I'd check whether you had found out any more about him! (Don't think he is already mentioned here, but apologies if he is
 )

Thank Merry - I appreciate your time & trouble. No, the William you mention isn't one I've
researched. The only William I've been looking at recently is a William S. b 1806 who m Mary Swepson & d Islington 1855.As the elusive Robert had also m a Swepson, I thought this a bit of a coincidence & hoped it might lead somewhere, but I haven't been able to make a connection with my Headlands. I think there must be one, though. I've spent some time today looking at alternative spellings as suggested here, but haven't made any definite progress there either. Thanks again Vita.

The William I found had a son called Charles Edward bap 26th Dec 1819 in Uxbridge. Their surname is recorded as Edling, but when Charles marries he is Headland.
William's wife was Harriet. There's a marriage between William Headland and Harriett Birch at St Pancras in 1811, so its likely there were other children if this is the right marriage. The witnesses were Richard Castell (or Costelo) and John Stanley (serial witness) Doesn't know where I'm going with this yet!
