I finally found Elizabeth DAVEY and her Marriage date to John ROBSON in 1822 but still can't locate Elizabeth's birth in Woodbridge.

Thanks for that information Girls, being new to this I got 2 replies and don't know how to reply to you individually so will mention you both here;
from Barbara - Info looks very good (Now I have 3 surnames to deal with!!)  Also wasn't aware you could contact the local register office for FREE information.  Will give that a go.
and to Lizdb that birth looks OK too.
Brilliant - I think I'll now enlist Rootschat to help me find My Schofields in Sunderland!
So thanks to you both
Mike

Hi Liz,
Thanks for reply  :)  - Firstly I know the line down to James is correct (all documented by family) and have visited his grave and residences in Tynemouth where he lived in later life.  He was a Herbalist which made it easy to track.  So I'll re-present the Data I have.
1851 Census All Saints, Newcastle. Mother, Head & Married Elisabeth Robison Age 50 (b Woodbridge, Suffolk), with Daughter Elisabeth, 3 other daughters and 3 Sons incl James b 1846.  Husband John not present.  1861 Census in Gateshead finds John age 60 a Widow with 6 of the children all unmarried.  Marriage of son James (now Robinson) to Mary Morrow in 1864 residence New Quay (so I presumed living with Father, who could have moved again as Gateshead isn't very far)   I tried to get James Birth Certificate and after providing correct data (Mother Elisabeth etc) received a wrong-un (Mother Hannah - I got no joy when I complained so have not tried again at £7 a go) Am trying other options just in case I have a relation out there with the info I need.  Does this clarify?  Mike

I am looking  ::)  for John Robinson (Robison) born c 1803 who was living in New Quay, Newcastle in 1864; Info from son James (b 1846) & Mary Morrow's Marriage Certificate.  John was married to an Elisabeth (Elizabeth) Unknown who was born in Woodbridge, Suffolk info from 1851 Census at Wall Knoll, All Saints, Newcastle, John wasn't at home that night!
I know that Elisabeth died before the 1861 census.  I would love to know her maiden name.  We have links to Coronation Street Tynemouth where James died in 1918 (buried at Preston Cemetery) perhaps living with his son Daniel, and Wall Knoll, All Saints, Newcastle 1851 census but I have been unable to get back any further.  The name changing from Robinson to Robison through the ages just hasn't helped me at all so I would appreciate any help through or sideways around the brick wall that I have encountered.
 :) Thanks in advance  :)   Mike

Hi Biker,
I just come across this thread, whilst searching for Information on my 2x Great grandfather name of Henry C J LARKIN.  He worked for a Gaslight Co in London and had a pension from them.  Could he or his daughter Louisa be mentioned in this book.  I would be very grateful if you could have a look when you have a spare moment!  Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. Mike
