John Robson born Sunderland 1838
« on: Monday 08 August 11 11:55 BST (UK) »
Hello All
I am looking to find John Robson born April 14 1838 in Sunderland, his parents were John Robson a Bottlemaker, and Jane Calvert, he was baptised in Sunderland  1st July 1838.
I cant find this child on any census, he may have died as a baby but cant find a Death either.
Maybe someone has idea's on this?

Thanks
Allan

Hi Allan  :)

You are right, there may well be some new information now available, but unless you post the links to your earlier threads people will be also be trawling through records and spending time on finding info you have already been given.

Thanks

Hi Allan,
As a general rule we do not allow duplicate posts as they always cause problems when people work on them and find that the information has already been given.   They can get quite cranky.    That is why I put the links earlier.  If you are not prepared to type out what you already know then giving links is the best way of showing it.
I wonder if trying for a Scavenger Hunt may be the answer?  Tephra organises those.

It is a last ditch effort for brick walls.  They are on the Common Room board and Tephra holds the waiting list.   When it is your turn you post everything you know about the person and it is thrown open to all to find more.  Look in the search box for a few examples and then send a pm to Tephra.
