JenB - My mistake, Euphemia on 1841 not 1851 census. She in in Houghton-le-Spring with parents.

Further update, just to not waste anyone's time checking this, the marriage in 1789 in Oxnam (7 miles from the aforementioned Morebattle) of James Robson to an unnamed spouse is to someone that looks like Hurden, and definitely not Campbell. Shame as it would have been perfect...

The image of Alexander’s baptism mentions that he is the 2nd son

I assumed it was Cornhill in the Newcastle district,

I appreciate that it's got nothing to do with your family history enquiry, but I'd really like to understand where Cornhill in Newcastle district was located?

JenB - it was an option given in a search I did for Cornhill generally in the North East. Looking at Google maps, there seems to be streets in the city named Cornhill, although whether it was/is an actual district may have been my mistake. I was being lead by the family connection to Houghton-le-Spring in the vicinity, only 17 miles from this Cornhill, so appolgies if this has been a false trail.

Ah, I see. Cornhill in Newcastle is in fact a fairly modern street name.
On this side-by-side map the right-hand image is centred on Cornhill. The left-hand map represents exactly the same area in the mid-1800's. As you can see there is no reference to anywhere named Cornhill.

Thanks JenB, that is extremely useful and certainly clears up my misunderstanding. Have saved that gazeteer for future reference.
