Hi,

Have you found Andrew on the 1841? If so does it list a female that could be his wife?

Did Andrew have any children by his first wife?

Would this be Andrew on the 1851? -

Andrew Robson   44
Margaret Robson   32
Margery Robson   10
M Dorothy Robson   3
James Robson   1

If it's the correct family then Margery would be from Andrew's first marriage. Margery's birth record show her mother's maiden name as Nicholson.

Need to find a marriage for Andrew to a ? Nicholson.

Not sure why the post of a marriage was deleted so I've re-posted it as this marriage could be the correct one -

Andrew Robson
12 Dec 1835, Christ Church, Tynemouth
Spouse - Margaret Nicholson

Here are the children I have found.  Since the marriage cert says he and Margaret were married in 1846, Ann and Margery are probably from a prior marriage.
Ann 1837, Margery 1841, Mary Dorothy 1848 1928, James 1850 1862 (Killed in Hartley mine disaster), Margaret 1851 1931, June 1853 1855, Isaac 1857 1931. I have come across the Nicholson last name but can't reconcile it.
