Robert Robson - emigrant to Canada

[Reiver]

Hello Phil
Using the info you posted I've been trying to find your John and Janet in the earlier  censuses but haven't been able to.  I see that they were born c1811 and c1815 respectively.   You mention Colwell North Farm.  My Watson family were at Colwell Fell House in 1841 and 1851 though by 1861 he lstill lived at Colwell Well House but only as an Ag Lab.

Have you found John or Janet at all in the census returns?  Their place of birth would ptove useful.  Do you know when they were married?

Regards
Reiver

In short no I haven't yet.

I concentrated on Taylor & Gibson from my fathers parental line, and the Robson's were very much witnesses and on the side of my tree, so left them to one side

There are lots of bits of info, which need joining up, and Chollerton is the centre of it all.

for example 1789, Thomas ( gt gt gt gt grandfather ) leased the Corn Mill at Swinburne with one William Robson

Thomas Taylor m. Mary Robson of Chollerton (bap 1 Oct 1758) ( parents Thomas & Mary Robson ) by licence at Chollerton 14 May 1777  witnessed by Wm Robson ( who I take as William )

and one of Thomas's daughters married a William Robson  m. Jane Taylor  12 June 1813 at Chollerton and his father was a Wiiliam, but not sure which one is the partner in the Corn Mill.

Thomas's father, Cuthbert,  and John Taylor let Colwell North Moor from Thomas Riddell of Swinburne Castle in 1754

all of which led me to John Robson  m. Jane of Colwell North Farm as he was buried at Chollerton  d. June 1880 (69) and Jane interred at Halton d. at Lipwood 12 Sept 1865 (50)

I was searching Lipwood ( as I have a will for Ann Holiday of Lipwood 1801 ) leaving her chattels to her grandaughter Ann Robson.

given census is much later, it didn't seem to give me any quick wins, so I focussed on the other elements of the tree.

Given the sheer number of Robsons - there might be no connection, but the Colwell North, seems terribly coincidental - and the family was likely to have retained it through the generations.

Might help if I could send you a pdf of the tree -

sorry this is in bits, but I double checked my other papers and I had found some census info which confused me, because of dates so I put it aside, think this must be family though

there was a John - a farmer born Allendale - at Middle Lipwood in 1861 census
his birth date would have matched c.1811

but in 1861 moved to Sipton Shield, Jane, listed as born Haltwhistle, but we know she died at Lipwood in 1865 ( headstone )

Children all born Allendale, Jane, Thomas, William, Mary and John, and again from headstone, Margaret Ann dying age 14 at Sipton Sheild .

In case you may be wondering as to the wherabouts of Lipwood. Its a farm about 1 mile west Of Haydon Bridge and on the north side of the A69. PARISH OF HAYDON
