John ROBBINS Tailor 1862 (General)
You say that John and Elizabeth have at least 2 children. Checking the Parish Records I see that these are Emily (1888)and Albert (1895 who dies the same night).
After a fruitless search for Elizabeth and John I tried to track Emily and have come up with this in the 1901 Wales Census.
Emily Robbins abt 1888 Coleford, Gloucestershire, England Daughter West Dean Monmouthshire
Elizabeth Furven abt 1869 Lane End; Coleford Wife West Dean Monmouthshire
James Furven abt 1875 Lane End; Coleford Head West Dean Monmouthshire
Sydney Furven abt 1900 Lane End; Coleford Son West Dean Monmouthshire
Although Emily is listed as daughter, on the actual Census she is listed as step daughter to James. They live at Lane End Coleford. When Elizabeths' and Johns' child Albert was baptised in 1895 it gives the address Coalway Road which I believe is one and the same as Lane End. (I'm sure a 'local' will put me straight on this!)
Could John have died and Elizabeth re married?
This of course may be a total red herring but perhaps worth looking into further?
