Isabella Robson (Ellerington) born 1815

[bramhallbill]

Hi Guys it looks like Isabella living in West Wylam in 1885 at the age of 70 died & was buried 28 Mar 1885 at S. Mary Magdalene, Prudhoe.
Would there be a headstone still there or anything in local newspapers at that time?
Isabella was born at Bywell P + Married John Robson there in 1833
They end up at Fourstones Warden then Park Shields, John was a labourer then a pauper by 1851.
1861 Isabella is a widow & outdoor labourer with a large family.  John Errington was a large farm owner & I guess everyone is moved on & 1871 she is visitor at her daughter's place at Newburn Hall, Lenington?? George & Ann Lishman  1881 West Wylam.
Is West Wylan a district of Prudhoe?
John most likely died in 1856 but there might have been 2 at Park Shields....
Would pauper records survive?
The geographical links are not too bad as people were "moved off the land".
The family were dispursed from West Wylam 1881 Isabella RobsonAge64,Dorothy RobsonAge43,Thomas RobsonAge37'William RobsonAge22'Jane RobsonAge18,Margaret RobsonAge17,Mary RobsonAge14.
Hard to see where Dorothy & Thomas would have gone to after Isabella's death in 1885 with a lot of dependable siblings.

1881 census
I think daughter  Elizabeth age 40 is working as a hotel waitress in Leamington Priors Warwickshire, at The Crown Hotel - born Warden Northumberland single

Daughter Ann married George Lishman 1868 and they receive assisted passage to Australia 1887.

Daughter  Mary poss: married Joseph Carr 1871 (dies1906) 1871 census she is a servant to John Walker and on the same page as Thomas, Dorothy and  Elizabeth.

Daughter Isabella married Christopher Best 1868 and moved to Durham.

Son John poss: married Mary Simpson 13 June 1857 (dies 1900) I cannot see the original but he says he is 22 - if he were the son of John and Isabella he would be 19. So need to see the original, he maybe son of the other John Robson in Warden. OR the son of Robert and Mary born 1836

I'm having trouble finding Margaret, Dorothy, Elizabeth and Thomas.

Robson is a common name and they all gave their children the same names.

Wow thanks everyone that was stunning. I have looked hard & long' I can confirm that the Lishman's did go to Australia & John did marry Mary Simpson . There was a bit of an age gap but they were both at Park Shields & Mary's father was a hind. The Simpson bit was carried thro' in one of the children.

There was a burial of John Robson 21 Sept 1856 of Park Shields but I've not got the church. He was a pauper so I presume no head stone

Dorothy had a son william & there seems a link to robison 1901 & 1911 but it is like a can of worms I think

Just to be sure check out the other John Robson's re the marriage to Mary Simpson, because the age is 3 years out.

If William was Dorothy' son are the other children hers or offspring of her sisters?
