Thanks Carolyn and An65 for the info. I have searched for wife and children for this bunch and have never been able to find them .I only found them on the 1901 census when I was looking for my Robson side who married a daughter. I was surprised when I found them all and another large travelling family called Johnstone all camped in a field.I will try using variants and see if that helps.The travelling side of my family didnt make life very easy for me thats for sure!

Forgot to add that when I searched for Hinging I also managed to find it in 1600s but not after that.So it must be a surname but a pretty strange one!

Hi Barbara,
I have just really started on English search sites and have had no joy so far.Here are some details
1867 marriage Thomas Reeves
father Thomas reeves labourer
mother Mary reeves Ms h***** {this is the one I cant make out properly} deceased
marriage took place on 08/11/1867 Perth Scotland
Thomas was based at Perth Barracks Private 14 Hussars age 27

2nd marriage again in Perth but a clearly written cert which definately says Mary Hinging Dec
Father Thomas dec this was 1881
death cert 1914 Perth again says Hinging
all census for Thomas just state England as birth place

Hi Arronroots,
sorry no joy with the first Mary,saving the other just incase there is a link somewhere! I have studied the birth certs etc of this family again and some stuff just does not add up. If they were married in Gateshead on Tyne in 1865 you would think that children would be born within a couple of years , but the first child is born in 1876.Second child born 1879 and this is the date of the second marriage on 29/10/1879 in Portobello Edinburgh.I think my ancestors may have been pulling the wool over someones eyes! On the third childs birth certificate it says
Edward Robson Father
coachbuilder journeyman
domicil Gateshead on tyne
Jane Robson Mother
MS Taylor
1865 Gateshead on Tyne {no date}
This bunch have had me going round in circles for ages but no doubt I will fit all together eventually

Hi Guys,
thanks for the searching. I have Edwards death cert which gives parents as
John Robson shoemaker deceased
Mary Smith Goodwin deceased
date of death 06/12/1905 11 Lower Kessock Street Inverness.

I did try to search around Gateshead on tyne for his parents because of the mention that Edward may have married there but no joy. As you can see by census and births they did travel up and down the country quite a bit. This is from my maternal side of the family and has been a bit of a rollercoast trying to find everybody as gggrandfather and gggrandmother have both been from travelling families

Thanks guys
