Hello All
I am looking to find John Robson born April 14 1838 in Sunderland, his parents were John Robson a Bottlemaker, and Jane Calvert, he was baptised in Sunderland 1st July 1838.
I cant find this child on any census, he may have died as a baby but cant find a Death either.
Maybe someone has idea's on this?
Thanks
Allan

Is this the same query already posted four times?
Duplicate posts do not help I'm afraid.

Hi Allan :)
You are right, there may well be some new information now available, but unless you post the links to your earlier threads people will be also be trawling through records and spending time on finding info you have already been given.
Jennifer :D

I disagree, its better if it was fresh, someone may spot something we have all missed.
Thanks

Hi Allan,
As a general rule we do not allow duplicate posts as they always cause problems when people work on them and find that the information has already been given. They can get quite cranky. That is why I put the links earlier. If you are not prepared to type out what you already know then giving links is the best way of showing it.
I wonder if trying for a Scavenger Hunt may be the answer? Tephra organises those.

It is a last ditch effort for brick walls. They are on the Common Room board and Tephra holds the waiting list. When it is your turn you post everything you know about the person and it is thrown open to all to find more. Look in the search box for a few examples and then send a pm to Tephra.

Just make sure you put ALL the links down on your details, Allan.... nothing worse than finding out that A B or C has been found before. ;D

Robert born 1827 Cramlington
Jane born 1829 Walker
Mary Ann born 1831 Norton
Elizabeth born 1833 Norton
Douglas born 1835 Newcastle

Mary Ann age 9
Elizabeth age 8
Douglas age 5
John age 1
Oct 1841 Margaret was born in Hetton I have birth Reg, no Baptism.
Sept 1843 Armstrong Urwin born Hetton
July 1846 Richard Born died in 1846 at Hetton, both Armstrong and Richard were baptised together at St Nicholas Hetton 8th July 1846, I also have there Birth Regs, still no sign of John and Margaret's Baptisms
1851 Census
Neasham Sq, Sunderland
John Robson age 46 Head born Corbridge
Eleanor age 41 born Byker

John Robson age 23 Seaman Born Bishopwearmouth
Eleanor wife age 27 Born Sunderland
Douglas age 4 Months born Sunderland
John Robson age 22 Married Eleanor Ann Hall age 26 on 15th Jan 1860 in Sunderland, I think he lied about his age to marry his wife was actually 29 when they married she knocked a few years off her age.
John died in May 1865 as a result of an Accident and was buried with Naval Honours.
John is my direct Line, I have had all the John Robson Birth Regs checked from 1837 to 1841 he is not Registered and no luck with his baptism of him and his sister Margaret, it is a complete mystery why there is no record of him.
if anyone can help or come across his birth or Baptism please let me know it has been 9 years of Searching.
Many Thanks
Allan Robson
