It would be baptism records, not birth records at that era.

What was the child's name?
Know anything at all about the family in later census?
Any military connections?

His father was a cabinet maker
Thomas Robison
I am looking for William Robison he eventually became a mariner himself
All I have is either 1827 or 1829 British subject

I'm asking what information was in the merchant seamen records.
Did you purchase/look at it?
