John Robson Mystery
« on: Sunday 06 January 08 11:28 GMT (UK) »
Hello All
Can anybody solve the following, this is a Reposting.
 
John Robson born 1840 ish his parents appear to be John Robson born 1805 Corbridge and Eleanor Urwin born 1809 Byker, John was the 6th Child born to the above his Siblings as follows:
Robert born 1827 Cramlington
Jane born 1829 Walker
Mary Ann born 1831 Norton
Elizabeth born 1833 Norton
Douglas born 1835 Newcastle
John born 1840?
I have all the Baptisms of the above except John
 
1841 Census
Pemberton St, Hetton-le-Hole
Eleanor age 30
Robert age 13
Mary Ann age 9
Elizabeth age 8
Douglas age 5
John age 1
 
Oct 1841 Margaret was born in Hetton I have birth Reg, no Baptism.
Sept 1843 Armstrong Urwin born Hetton
July 1846 Richard  Born died in 1846 at Hetton, both Armstrong and Richard were baptised together at St Nicholas Hetton 8th July 1846, I also have there Birth Regs, still no sign of John and Margaret's Baptisms
 
1851 Census
Neasham Sq, Sunderland
John Robson age 46 Head born Corbridge
Eleanor age 41 born Byker
John aged 11 Born Sunderland
Magaret age 10 born Sunderland ( this is wrong she was born Hetton I have birth Reg)
Armstrong age 8 born Hetton
Thomas age 3 Months born Sunderland, I have his Birth Reg and Baptism
 
1861 Census
20 Sussex St, Sunderland
John Robson age 23 Seaman Born Bishopwearmouth
Eleanor wife age 27 Born Sunderland
Douglas age 4 Months born Sunderland
 
John Robson age 22 Married Eleanor Ann Hall age 26 on 15th Jan 1860 in Sunderland, I think he lied about his age to marry his wife was actually 29 when they married she knocked a few years off her age.
John died in May 1865 as a result of an Accident and was buried with Naval Honours.
 
John is my direct Line, I have had all the John Robson Birth Regs checked from 1837 to 1841 he is not Registered and no luck with his baptism of him and his sister Margaret, it is a complete mystery why there is no record of him.
if anyone can help or come across his birth or Baptism please let me know it has been 9 years of Searching.
 
Many Thanks
Allan Robson
