English Robson family around Hartlepool
« on: Sunday 19 October 14 15:56 BST (UK) »
I am researching the Robson family and many of the members have the middle name English.
I have Thomas English Robson who married Margaret J Borthwick in 1883. His father was Robert Goulding Robson  who married Jane or Janet English in 1852 - he was born in Hartlepool and she was born in Burton Northumberland.
I have most of the census records apart from Robert Goulding Robson in 1881 . And any help finding his parents or those of Jane English would be appreciated.
kind Regards
Tina

Robert Goulding Robson  who married Jane or Janet English in 1852 -
freeBMD shows Robert Robson and Jannet English.

any help finding his parents or those of Jane English would be appreciated.

The marriage certificate should give you the names of both sets of fathers, as a starting point.

Durham Records Online have this marriage. It is a pay-per-view site, but if you buy a few credits it will be very much cheaper than buying the certificate from the GRO  :)

Many Thanks JenB. keyboard86 and hpool for all the information.
The marriage details lists Robert's father as Martin Robson and family search have a Martin Robson (born 1799 Hartlepool) married to Alice Goulding (born 1803 Hartlepool). The marriage was in Hartlepool in 1824. I found an Alice Robson in 1841 Census aged 35 with a son Robert aged 16 whose occupation could be Saylor or Taylor. Martin Robson possibly dead by 1841 or at sea if he was a Sailor.
Can anyone help with additional information about Martin Robson and Alice Goulding.
regards
Tina

Hi Hpool
Sorry I was getting all confused
My Thomas English Robson died in 1938 and because I have his birth as 1855 he would have been 82. The probate was for his wife Margaret Jane Robson who died in 1925 age 61.
 If you could find any details for Thomas English Robson's death among the papers you said you  had I would really appreciate it
Sorry for the mix up
Tina

Hi grenville
Thank you for the Death notice from the Northern Daily Mail. I think our messages were crossing over each other.
Hopefully you received my latest post.

Hi - Jane English was my GGG grand aunt.  She is the daughter of John English, formerly of Gravetye Manor.  She was born 11 Feb 1828 in Belford Northumberland to John English and Sarah Redpath (spelling of surname can't be confirmed as yet). Janes brother, William English migrated to Australia and was a gold miner in Hill End NSW (I am a descendant of his line).
