Marriage of Christopher Robson - circa 1812 possibly South Shields

[ragt39]

I am researching a Robson family and on the 1851 census I have Christopher Robson, aged 70 living in Westoe with his son William (38) & his daughter Sarah (34).  Whilst Christopher was born in Longhaugh, Bellingham, Northumberland both of his children were born in South Shields.  I am trying to trace Christopher's marriage which could be around 1812 or even earlier possibly in South Shields or may even be in Northumberland.  Any suggestions?

What is his wifes name, is it Sarah. 
Are these the christenings for William & Sarah, the same day in South Shields

also a John Hall Robson the same day, same parents names

I wasn't aware of his wife's name but this looks promising.  It also explains why I couldn't find their baptisms around their date of birth - obviously had all 3 christened on the same day.  Now I need to find the marriage of Christopher Robson to a Sarah - and it could be Sarah Hall.  Also need to establish year of bhirth for John Hall Robson.  Many thanks, Rosie

Hi there

There is this marriage by banns ,Christopher Robson & Sarah Fairweather 5 Oct 1806 Tynemouth https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11105-62159-2?cc=1309819&wc=9K53-SP8:13617901,30809801,30809802

The Bishops Transcripts show the 3 baptisms but the only extra bit of detail is father's occupation - joiner

It's looking good for Sarah being Christopher's wife, burial 25th July 1839 aged 67 St Hilda, Sarah Robson Hill Street - Christopher was shown living in Hill Street in the 1841 census

If my idea is right that his wife was a Sarah Hall then this would fit nicely with that burial record -

Shirl, the occupation of 'joiner' fits in - on his son William's marriage certificate it states Christopher was a 'Joiner' despite the census calling him a 'Sawyer'.
Now, in my opinion, we need to find a marriage for Christopher Robson & Sarah Hall somewhere around 1812

I couldn't see anything online for a Sarah Hall marriage, but the Sarah Hall baptism is tempting.

A sawyer worked with wood so it is not surprising to see him called a joiner.
