Hi again
What are the Fathers occupations on the Marriage Cert?

[ronica]

Both fathers have the same occupation - it looks like "Pitman"

I looked in Lamesley St. Andrew (C od E) for a baptism of Ralph (parish church that covers Eighton Banks).  None there.  There was a Thomas Robinson baptised 18 Feb 1827 s/o Thomas and Martha.  No burial for a Thomas that looked likely at least there but there was a 6 year old Thomas in Hetton le Hole 23 Sept 1832

You might want to check out Hetton le Hole St. Nicholas:

Mary Robinson baptised 5 May 1833 d/o Thomas and Martha, pitman, Hetton le Hole

Elizabeth Robinson baptised 3 July 1836 d/o Thomas and Martha

Thomas Shipley Robinson baptised New Year's Day 1839

No Ralph yet.

NewCastle St. John marriage:  Thomas Robinson and Martha Shipley 3 Mar 1823

What does a Pitman do?

[Preshous]

A pitman was a person who worked at a mine, predominately a Coal mine.

NewCastle St. John marriage:  Thomas Robinson and Martha Shipley 3 Mar 1823

VERY INTERESTING!! - one of Ralphs sons was named Thomas Shipley ROBINSON so this marriage in 1823 looks good. Plus Ralph also looks to have a brother Thomas Shipley.

My Ralph was born somewhere between 1822 - 1825,  have calculated this from various sources

Thomas ROBINSON was baptised in 1827 @ Lamesley St Andrew

Mary, Elizabeth and Thomas Shipley are baptised in the 1830's @ Hetton le hole so where did the family disappear to inbetween?

My English geography and understanding of church / parishes / counties / etc is shocking - how far between Newcastle St John & Lamesley St Andrew & Hetton le Hol or is it all in the same town/village and just different parishes / churches. If someone could explain it to me that would be great

[Preshous]

Newcastle St John is in the county of Northumberland
Lamesley St Andrew is in Gateshead in the county of Durham about 5 miles as the crow flies from St John
Hetton-Le-Hole is also in the county of Durham about 10 miles from Lamesley St Andrew.

Thanks Gary - that helps

If i may ask what is "Newcastle St John"?  Is it a church, a parish,  a town/village  - i am trying to look on google maps but it doesn't like Newcastle St John but when i typed in "newcastle northumberland england" it came up with "Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland UK" - am i on the right track
