Ann Robson born about 1815 Birtley

[Christianmpoulsen]

Hello, hoping someone can help please.

I have an Ann Robson on my tree born abt 1815 in Birtley to William Robson and Ann Parker.

I am trying to find out if this could be the same Ann Robson who married a Nicholas Robson 6 Dec 1845 in Birtley. I was hoping there might be a marriage document that names her father, or perhaps the 1841 census might help.

Thanks, Christian

What sites gave you a date and place of marriage?
Surely the original documents ca be reached from there...

I note the marriage you mention on family search, however you might like to consider below.

Ann Robson
Birth1817
Marriage 22 March 1845
Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, England, United Kingdom
Spouse:William Pearson
Other:Ralph Pearson

There are others elsewhere in the County, at some stage you will need the GRO registration to be sure. In the meantime have you found Ann on any census records?

According to the 1851 and 1861 census records Ann was born 1824 and 1822! (I haven't looked at others).

So maybe, later baptisms need to be searched.

I have an Ann Robson on my tree born abt 1815 in Birtley to William Robson and Ann Parker.

What evidence do you have that she survived childhood?

If I have the right Ann she was baptised 15th October 1815,

There is a burial at Birtley on 20th June 1818 of an Ann Robson aged 2¾ years.

Unless, for some reason you've eliminated that burial, I would say it's a pretty good match.

Following on from Pennines post, Ann Robson is recorded as 42 in 1871, 56 in 1881 and 81 in 1901. Her year of birth is potentially anything between 1820 and 1829!

As far as I can see there is only one baptism in Birtley in this kind of time frame for an Ann Robson.

This baptism in 1822 does indeed have parents named as William and Ann, William being a pitman. ( This couple may have had an earlier child called Ann baptised in 1815 but there is a likely burial for her in Birtley in 1818 showing in the National Burial Index). This ties in with JenB's post above.

Of course the best way of pursuing this further is to obtain the marriage certificate for Nicholas and Ann.

( Also please note that the Birtley Bishop's Transcripts are one of a number of parishes/ chapelries which can only be accessed via the Family Search catalogue).

There is also a baptism of an Ann Robson in 1821 in Birtley, mother named as Ann but the Bts actually show her as Mary Robson!

Sorry Jen,  my apologies for not acknowledging your post- I have modified my post to try to link the two contributions together.

Thank you. It was from someone else’s tree and research and they didn’t find the name of the father
