Just to clarify this Robson family, I am a direct descendant of James Robson and Margaret Harris, my Robson tree is on Ancestry. James Robson married Margaret Harris in Edinburgh on 23 Nov 1877, The Harris family originate in Fife, however, Margaret Harris was working as a domestic servant at Stirches, Hawick. James Robson gives his parents as James Robson, dec and Janet Robson, ms Turnbull. James and Margaret Robson had 9 known children which I believe you also know of.
James Robson married Janet Turnbull approx 1835, Janet Turnbull already had a son John Anderson born approx 1830 in Jedburgh,( died 1905 in Hawick) the 1851 shows the family living at Greenwynd, Hawick, James & Janet Robson give Wilton as their place of birth,

There is currently no known connection to Kelso, if you are able to provide any documents with this information I would be very interested in looking at them otherwise my research will rely on the documents which I have, also if you have an Ancestry DNA test from any family members that could potentially be a match with me that would be another option,
