My GGGrandparents were John Cain alias 'Whisky Jack' and Elizabeth Robson Simpson (nee Simpson) from Winlaton. I have hit a brick wall concerning their deaths. I know the Newcastle MP, Joseph Cowen , assisted John Cain to relocate to Melbourne around the mid - 1870s in order to support his rheumatism, but from thereupon I have no further knowledge, except that he died in Melbourne, never to return to the UK.
The last record I have for my GGGrandmother is that she was living with her daughter and son in law (Llewellyn Edmund Robinson) at 13, Mary Street, Winlaton, and is listed as Eliza Robson Simpson on the 1891 Census, despite the fact that I have no evidence she ever divorced from Henry Middleton. I have already engaged the services of professional genealogists to no avail, so any support or advice would be so gratefully received, thank you.
