Thank you I knew he was a mariner but did not know the dates. It would be really great to know about his birth so I could find out his mothers name. I love finding everything out about are ancestry.

I must have mistaken Tynemouth on the marriage as
her baptism seems to appear in the Scilly Isles
born 21st October 1834 baptised the daughter of Henry and Jane 25th March 1835

Hi,

I think that the marriage shows Sarah Jane's father to be John Harvey ASHFORD, and that Tynemouth might be a misspelling of Teignmouth, Devon.

Thankyou everyone. Still trying to find Thomas Robison father of William Robison.
I love finding out but am stuck on why William was born in Jamaica his father Thomas was a cabinetmaker. William became a mariner.
I know his wife's family were originally from Cornwall.
