    • 1841 census: at Valley Farm, Huntingfield, Robert (20, tailor), Emma (20) and George (12, tailor's apprentice). Given the inaccuracy of ages in the 1841 census, George was probably Robert's younger brother.

      1851 census: in Huntingfield, Robert (32, tailor), Emma (28), Sarah (7, scholar) and Clifton (1).

      All Robert's children, and his two marriages, were registered under the surname BUCKINGHAM. Sometimes, the second name Minter appears, but not always. The four children of Robert and Ann were baptised as Minter BUCKINGHAM, as son or daughter 'of Robert and Ann Minter BUCKINGHAM'.
