Robert (1885-?) is an unexpected entry with no prior information about his forebears. With a one-year child, Nellie, being shown in the census, he probably married Annie perhaps a couple of years earlier. He is shown as a French polisher living in Halifax. Halifax is certainly a focus for Soothills, so perhaps he is one of the Halifax families using a less familiar forename – perhaps Robert is his second forename. Anyway, this little family is currently a puzzle. We know that Nellie became Mrs Clarkin after marrying in Halifax in 1937, but nothing else in known.
