Durham Lookup Requests / Sarah Jane Robson
« on: Saturday 29 June 13 23:57 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am looking for advice on where to find Sarah Jane Robson's parents. She appears to have been born in Stockton, according to the 1861 Greatham census where she lives with her grandfather, James Robson.Also in the 1881 census, her birth place is listed as Stockton. Her marriage license to John William Stainthorp lists no father, although John's father is listed. Her grandfather was a coastguard man, so thought maybe his son was of the sea also. Her grandfather lists her as his beneficiary. Would his will list whether he had children or other grandchildren? I have found her death certificate, which lists her age as 67 in 1902. The burial I found lists her age as 73 for a burial 3 days later at St. John's in Greatham so may not be her burial record, I understand. I do believe she was buried at St Johns as I found a headstone there that had her name and the name of her husband,while we were on vacation there. I found a baptismal record that is close for 1841 but that age would be a bit off and also states she was born in Tynemouth. Any suggestions or ideas that may help? I am just stuck.
Thanks,
Kathy
