Hi Everyone
I am tracing Barbara and also her husband Robert Robson. They married 25/9/1859 in St John's Parish, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Both are Full Age and Robert is recorded as a Mill Wright.
Unfortunately Robert's father & father occupation are struck out which makes me think he may be illegitimate.
Barbara's father is William Jackson ans is a Miller. I found a birth for a Barbara:
Barbara Jackson chr 8 Aug 1838 Longbenton, Northumberland
dau of William & Hannah Jackson
and a marriage for a William & Hannah:
William Jackson m Hannah Baker 25 Dec 1824 All Saints, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland,
FHL Film Number: 1068967
There is no record of them in the 1841 census but I did find a William & Hannah in the 1851 census living at Seafield, Durham, England, Little Benton, Longbenton but Barbara is not there, nor anywhere else.
I found Barbara & Robert in the 1851 census living at Bishop Auckland with 1 child Robert 8 months old. Robert gives his birthplace as Saffield, Co.Durham which is probably Fatfield, Co. Durham. I found them again in the 1861 census but Barbara is not there () 2 more children Dora & Charles are there which confirms to me this is the correct family. Robert gives his place of birth as Fatfield, Co. Durham.
I am not concerned about the 1861 census or later but with the 1851 census and earlier.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Chris
