Robert Doughty GRAY and family 1871

[lookingforbiddles]

Hi all,

Trying to trace an ancestor, his name was Robert Doughty GRAY, Norfolk/Essex area.

Household includes
Elizabeth (wife) born Brightlingsea circa 1837

Robert F (son) born Yarmouth c 1861
Hazel Arthur (son) born Yarmouth c 1865
Matilda M (dau) born Brightingsea (sic) c 1866

I'm told there were 10 children in this family, 1881 census holds two more that were born after 1871 but looks to me like there should be some more at this time. Marriage was 1856 so plenty of room for Robert F to have older siblings.

I'm also told the oldest sibling was Elizabeth, after the mother. Is she there too?

Thanks for all help!
