Sorry for not expanding. The marriage is the only thing I know & the fact they had a son Robert. The Richardson name is so common in the area and I cannot work out how and if they are connected, with the records that are available online.
 I have Roberts & Janes children from Christ church records. I know he was a mariner & have census records for 1841 & 1851. I think he dies 1851, but cannot prove it. The only marriage of Robert & Jane Rochester I can find is in Shadwell.
Once jane & family arrive in Australia - have all the info.

Where does the name Rochester come from.

There is this marriage which would tie in with Merchant seamans records for a Robert Richardson

Robert Richardson
Age   21
Residence parish   Hull
Licence date   24 Jul 1830
Intended marriage place   St Mary, Hull
Jane White
age   21
parish   North Shields

It would be a good idea for you to give us the 1841 & 1851 census information you have

Thank you all SO MUCH

Yes  the census are correct, and gaps in childrens age is due to births & deaths 1832 - 1841.
the thing that bothers me is why was the marriage in Shadwell in london?
I know he was a mariner and it was a port, but why was she there? and their first child was born that I can find 8 years later.  There is a birth to a Robert, but he is still there much later, so wrong family.
Everyone seems to say this was the marriage and he could have been away for years at a time, so just accept it. But I just wonder was there a marriage locally and no one has come across it.
Does anyone know where I can get mariner records from? Sent an email away to museum in Newcastle about 8 weeks ago and still no reply.

Baptisms in Tynemouth Christ Church that are probably your Robert and Jane family


John Rochester Richardson baptised 31 Aug 1823 s/o Robert and Jane, North Shields, mariner
Matthew Richardson baptised 4 Aug 1829 s/o Robert and Jane, North Shields, mariner
Elizabeth Rochester Richardson baptised 1 Jul 1832 d/o Robert and Jane Ropery Stairs, mariner
Robertson Richardson baptised 8 Mar 1835 s/o Robert and Jane, North Shields, mariner

There was another Robert and Jane but Robert was a blacksmith
