Robert Cromie (Cromby/Crombie) - Birth
« on: Sunday 01 October 06 01:09 BST (UK) »
I have come to a standstill trying to pin down the birth of Robert Cromie (with spelling variations!).  The last firm date I have is 26 Jan 1789 when he married Elisabeth Blenkinsop at All Saints, Newcastle upon Tyne.  I don't know what he did but some of his sons were miners so that would seem a logical assumption.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?   ???
Many thanks.

Do you have dates for the children?  And were any born after 1797?

Hello Janis - yes there were several children that I know of:

James CROMIE - chr 25 April 1790, All Saints
Elizabeth CROMBY - b 4 Mar 1795, chr 28 Jun 1795 Wallsend
William CROMBY - chr 29 Oct 1797 Wallsend
Hannah CROMBIE - b 29 Sep 1799, chr 10 Nov 1799 Wallsend
Jane CROMBY - b 10 Jun 1803, chr 3 Jul 1803 Wallsend
John CRUMBY - b 2 May 1807, chr 23 Aug 1807 Wallsend
Robert CROMBY - b 3 Aug 1811, chr 31 Aug 1811 Wallsend

As you can see, the spelling changes all the time.  Hope these help.  Thanks for looking.

This will give you places to look for Robert.

Hannah Crombie born 29 Sept 1799 christened 10 Nov 1799 the 2nd daughter of Robert Crombie, Pitman, native of Ebbet Saw, Scotland by his wife Elizabeth late Blenkinshop, Native of All Saints

Jane Cromby born 13 June 1803, baptised 3 July 1803 3rd daughter of Robert Cromby, Willington, Pitman, native of Ebitsaw, Fifeshire, by his wife Elizabeth late Blenkinsop native of All Saints Newcastle

John Cromby, born 2 May 1807, baptised 23 Aug 1807 4th son of Robert Cromby, Willington, Labourer, Native of Alnwick by his wife Elizabeth late Blenkinsop native of All Saints

Robert Cromby born 3 Aug 1811 baptised 31 Aug 1811 4th son of Robert Cromby, Willington, native of Scotland, Pitman  by his wife Elizabeth late Blenkinsop native of All Saints Newcastle

I imagine your source was the IGI so you know where they were baptised but it looks like they lived and the children were born in Willington.

Your best bet in All Saints for Elizabeth is the later dated one:--christened 9 April 1769, All Saints daughter of James Blenkinsop.  The first one had a father of James also so she probably died as an infant.  That one was baptised 21 June 1767.

Then there is a marriage of James Blenkinsop to Hannah Burnet 25 May 1766 All Saints.

Both the names James and Hannah are in your children list.

Ebbitsaw is most likely Abbotshall, Fife.

Wow Janis, thank you so much!  Family "legend" had it that the family originated in Scotland but I got stuck on Robert about six months ago and buried him in despair for the summer.  Have only just dug him up again so to speak and found the children so this is wonderful info.  Where did you find it?
Thanks again.

I have a stack of indexes from various sources, various parishes.  Some of the indexes give more information than others.  You just got lucky.

Hello Janis

Sorry for butting in on your postings but I was interested on the information you had for James Blenkinsop.  I have a few generations of James Blenkinsops in my family tree but have come to a brick wall and the last one I have information on is James Blenkinsop born in Annan, Scotland around 1819.  I've not been able to find any siblings or parents.

If it's not too cheeky of me, would you please let me know if you have any further informtion.  I know that James married Wilhelmina Hope and have detail from there on but it's previous to this that I have hit a wall.

Hoping you may have some information.

Kind regards
Caroline

Sorry I do not know anything about James Blenkinsop.  Have you tried Scotland's People?
