Narrative and Notes

It's believed that Herbert appears in the 1851 census as 'Robert' with his brothers Samuel and Bernard. His birth place in 1851 was given as Stoke On Trent, but in 1871 it was given a Moddershall. My guess is that it was Stoke On Trent, and Moddershall was taken from his wife's birthplace. This is supported by the 1841 census, taken in Stoke On Trent when he was 8 months old.
