Robinson/Summers families
« on: Sunday 10 January 21 04:16 GMT (UK) »
I need help with Robert Wood, a miner, who was probably born in Tyne and Wear but different records say he was born in Sheffield or Durham. He was born in 1857 and married Jessie Summers (born 1860 in Newcastle on Tyne). She had a brother James Summers and they all emigrated to New Zealand in 1887. I am trying to work out Robert's parents and also Jessie and James' parents. There are plenty of trees online showing Jessie's parents were from Scotland but they are incorrect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The marriage was indexed on Family Search and that gives father's names for both of them
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NVC7-WWK

A free search on https://www.durhamrecordsonline.com shows that they have a full transcription of the entry. Its a commercial site but the charges are reasonable.

If the marriage was 1881 Heworth Durham his father was Robert hers was John.

I agree the Scottish Jessie looks incorrect as her father was Alexander.

If it helps the birth registration for the Jessie born Dec 1860 Newcastle has mothers maiden name Sutherland.

When was James born please?

There's a Robert with same mothers name born Mar 1865 Newcastle

Sorry that one doesn't look to be panning out either as father is Robert not John  :-\
