Hi
Can anyone help with my brick wall?
My great grandmother was Martha Robinson born illegitimate in 1846 to Mary Robinson of Jarrow, Durham. Martha was born Spittal Tongues, Newcastle she married William Howard and they had one son William. William Snr passed away and in 1875 Martha married my great grandfather John Harvey Robinson, St Andrews, Newcastle. Martha’s father on the MC is George Wheatley who is actually her step father. John Harvey’s father is also John Harvey Robinson (occupation soldier). John Harvey Jnr’s occupation is engineer - in later census records he isn’t present but Martha in 1881 has stated she is a mariners wife and 1891 a widow. On the MC residence at the time of marriage is Percy Street, Newcastle.
I have searched and found a few GRO numbers for John Robinson births but nothing with the middle name Harvey. Can’t seem to find anything for his death. Tried looking for his father but loads of John Robinson’s who were soldiers.
Any tips, sites etc that would help would be greatly appreciated.
