The census that solidrock found also has at the same address:

William HENDERSON  30
(Both born in county)

HO107/823/3

There is a Rachael RAMSAY death registered Castle Ward in Jun qtr 1838 aged 61. Sounds like a good for match for John's wife?

Robert RAMSEY looks to have married Elizabeth HALL 17 Nov 1781, All Saints, Rothbury
Bachelor/Spinster
Both living in Casteron
They Baptise a Daug ELIZABETH Ramsey 31 Marc 1783 same Church

There is a Burial same Church 15 Aug 1819, Robert Ramsay, age 65, abode Caistron
(birth c 1754**)
Elizabeth may have been buried same Church 30 March 1817 age 70
(birth c 1747)

Also I cant fin a Casteron in Northumberland so the Marriage may have been abode Caistron which is the same place of abode on Roberts Burial.

I think it's probably Caiston.

There was a local census done in Rothbury in 1816 - see page 18 for Robert Ramsay

Well Christine that is one of the most interesting things of that time I have ever read

So it confirms the Marriage to Elizabeth Hall I would say.
