Birth of Robert Meggison, abt. 1730, ? where
« on: Saturday 03 September 05 10:51 BST (UK) »
I need help to find Robert's birthplace and exact date of birth.  Robert was married in June 1773 in Sedgefield to Jane Davison.  He died Aug 7, 1792 and is buried in Sedgefield at St. Edmund the Bishop.  I have no idea where he was born.  I suspect it could be Durham, Northumberland, or Yorkshire.  Can anyone help me?

Thanks. I did have that birth but doesn't match with the gravestone which states he died Aug 7, 1792 aged 62 years.  Still you never know.  Thanks for the information about Robert and siblings.
