Following on from Pennines post, Ann Robson is recorded as 42 in 1871, 56 in 1881 and 81 in 1901. Her year of birth is potentially anything between 1820 and 1829!

As far as I can see there is only one baptism in Birtley in this kind of time frame for an Ann Robson.

This baptism in 1822 does indeed have parents named as William and Ann, William being a pitman. ( This couple may have had an earlier child called Ann baptised in 1815 but there is a likely burial for her in Birtley in 1818 showing in the National Burial Index). This ties in with JenB's post above.

Of course the best way of pursuing this further is to obtain the marriage certificate for Nicholas and Ann.

( Also please note that the Birtley Bishop's Transcripts are one of a number of parishes/ chapelries which can only be accessed via the Family Search catalogue).

William


There is also a baptism of an Ann Robson in 1821 in Birtley, mother named as Ann but the Bts actually show her as Mary Robson!

What sites gave you a date and place of marriage?
Surely the original documents ca be reached from there...

I did wonder if there was a link here?

DEATHS
At Bigge's Main, 29th ult, aged 47, Ellen, widow of the late Mr Watson Richardson, deeply lamented.

Which Longhirst is it? There's one near Morpeth or Newcastle (have ruled out the Gateshead one). Bigge's Main Colliery was near Benton

Is there any other way to confirm that Annie’s father was Daniel Watson Richardson, any other place the brides father is recorded?

Thanks

No, the transcript of the PR on Family Search says the same.

I can only find two children of William and Mary:-

BATY, MARGARET  EMILY mmn PROUDLOCK 
GRO Reference: 1884  D Quarter in HEXHAM  Volume 10B  Page 322

BATY, ISAAC mmn PROUDLOCK

There was an Isaac with a brother named Thomas but children of Thomas and Mary Batey.

Trees on Ancestry have William as the son of Isaac and Barbara (nee Charlton), born in Swinburn in 1857
Baptised on 8 Mar 1857 in Chollerton

If the right family:-
