I am researching a Robson family and on the 1851 census I have Christopher Robson, aged 70 living in Westoe with his son William (38) & his daughter Sarah (34). Whilst Christopher was born in Longhaugh, Bellingham, Northumberland both of his children were born in South Shields. I am trying to trace Christopher's marriage which could be around 1812 or even earlier possibly in South Shields or may even be in Northumberland. Any suggestions?
