  • William Robson

    Looking for help with william robson, born about 1853, prestwick, northumberland.

    Married 11 jul 1874, lanchester, durham. to mary cookson, father thomas robson. I don't have a copy, just the transcript off fmp. It doesn't give occupations.

    1881 census, benfieldside, durham
    William robson- 28, b.1853, prestwick, northumberland. Head, mar. Coal miner.
    Mary robson- 27, b.1854, carlisle, cumberland. Wife.
    Plus three children of the marriage, what appears to be mary's son prior to marriage (can't see a birth reg) and mary's brother.

    Mary likely dies 1886, lanchester district. Age 32.

    I can't see william after 1881, and nothing before it, either. Can't see a likely birth reg. I think he may in the 1871 at greencroft, durham, boarding with a smith family. "william robson, 18, b.1853, moss house? Hexham, northumberland. Cm- coal miner?"

    Can anyone help please?

                      thankyou, i have got a bit of info on the cookson side. mary cookson (1854-1886?) dau of thomas cookson (c.1826-1913) and jane reay (c.1823-1866). can't spot a marriage for the parents. the cookson's are from cumberland.

                      it's really william robson i'm trying to find. so he was alive in 1888? living in lintz? that should still be lanchester reg district?

                        Probably completely wrong but, do you think he may have married again ? as I found a likely one on FMP in 1891 with a wife, but when I try to view the marriage I think it could be ,I get a blank page saying FMP know of the problem and will fix it.

                            got the marriage of william robson and mary cookson in 1874. william's father was thomas robson, miner. according to the 1881 census, william was born 1853, prestwick, northumberland. which should be castle ward district.

                                I have just realised how many possible William Robson's there are in Northumberland, even ones with father's Thomas! I think another clue from somewhere is needed
