Robert Douglass and Esther Ormiston Kelso

[Allan Robson]

Hello All
Robert Douglass married Esther Ormiston in 1834, they had 4 children Mary born 1835, Willam 1837 James 1839 and Janett born 1840, however i cant find any baptisms for these children, the family were living in Kelso on the 1841 Census.
Maybe someone can help.

Thanks
Allan Robson

I am very interested in what you might know of the Douglass family you have listed ,was Robert a baker ?did he have a brother James also a baker ,who lived  in Sunderland 1851,do you know anything about the daughter Mary born 1835 I am hoping she is my G.grandmother Mary WHO married ?John Sewell around 1852

Hi Audrey
Mary lived with her Grandparents on the 1841 Census in Kelso, i am sure she moved to Sunderland, i know quite a bit about her Brothers James, William and Janett, it would be a help if she was the Mary who married James Sewell as i could trace her.

Thanks

Hi Audrey
I am not sure Mary did Marry John Sewell as there is a link to the Sanderson family in the Family, which i am looking into, Mary was living in Sunderland in 1851 aged 16, she would be a bit young to have married a year later?

Thanks

I think he married Alice Shiply 1852 that might be why Mary Left and pos went to Carlisle where she met John Sewell
