The Newcastle one is a possibilty, but i would like to look at some more, John Robson was born 1805 in Corbridge Northumberland, he is not with his wife on the 1841 census, but must have been around as his Daughter was born Oct 1841.

Thanks

Allan, I have had a look at all the John Robsons in Durham area, none were born out of the county. All but two seemed to be with their family.

I assume from what you said he knew he was from Northumberland.

He could well have been around in December/January 1841 since his wife had their daughter in October. ;) but had to go look for work elsewhere. The census was 6th/7th June so he could easily have come back for the birth.

Is this John Robson any relation to James Robson born about 1783? He had a granddaughter called Sarah Jane but I have no father or mother.
James Robson died in Hartlepool in 1873.
