courant refers to the Newcastle paper.

William did not leave a will but theres an Admon Bond

However Elizabeth made a will

so no Robsons in that generation or they could be on the Slater side - you may have to dig deeper.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the bond and will. Hepple was a retired farmer when he lived in Sunderland and was presumably fairly prosperous as he lived in a smart Victorian terrace which still stands today, so his father's description as gentleman /farmer fits.
