Christopher Robson - b.circa 1781 in Long Hough, Northumberland?
« on: Thursday 22 January 15 13:46 GMT (UK) »
I am researching a Robson family and on the 1851 census I have a Christopher Robson aged 70 & born in Long Hough, Northumberland.  I am not aware of such a place in Northumberland apart from maybe 'Longhoughton' - could this be the case?  Is there any other likely place?  Can anyone help me find Christopher's birth/baptism?  Many thanks

Thanks guys - the 1851 census gave his age as 70 which would mean he was born around 1781 and Colin's suggestion is a baptism in 1772.  However, having established that Longhaugh is in Bellingham
I think I prefer the following which gives a Christopher Robson baptised in Bellingham in 1781

Thank you Stan & Colin

The Bellingham baptism records states Christopher Robson baptised August 5th 1781 ,son of William. Born at Longhaugh Shields.
Hope this helps
