Hello All
This is a Reposting
can everybody please help with this one, a toughie and maybe solve a 9 year mystery

John Robson was born 1840 where, I dont know his birth is not registered with who I think his parents are as follows:

1841 Census Pemberton St, Hetton-le-Hole co Durham
Eleanor Robson age 30
Robert age 13 Born Newcastle
Mary Ann age 9 born Norton, Co Durham
Elizabeth age 8 born Norton Co Duham
Douglas age 5 born Newcastle
John age 1

I have all the above Baptisms except John.

in Oct 1841 Margaret Robson was born I have birth cert her parents were John Robson a Joiner by Trade & Eleanor Urwin these were married in Nov 1826 at Lamesley.

1843 Birth of Armstrong Urwin Robson at Hetton I have birth cert
1846 birth of Richard Errington Robson he died 3 months old
both Armstrong & Richard were baptised together on 8th July 1846 at St Nicholas Hetton.

1851 Census 20 Neasham Sq Sunderland
John Robson age 46 Enginewright Born Corbridge
Eleanor age 41 born Byker
John age 11 born Sunderland
Margaret age 10 born Sunderland ( she was born Hetton) I have birth cert.
Armstrong age 8 born Hetton
Thomas age 3 Months born Sunderland.

1861 Census 20 Sussex St Bishopwearmouth
John Robson age 23 born Bishopwearmouth, Seaman
Eleanor age 27 born Sunderland
Douglas age 4 Months

John Robson age 22 Married Eleanor Ann Hall 15th Jan 1860 at Sunderland he gave his age as 22 I think he was 20 ish he wfie was 9 years older so they both Doctored there age

John Robson died 31st May 1865 as a Result of an Accident
his death cert said he 26, Parish records say 25.

Johns birth is not Registered I have had all the John Robson birth Regs checked from 1837 to 1841 which cost me a fortune, and he is not there with parents John Robson and Eleanor Urwin.
I have checked Baptisms for Hetton, Houghton, Sunderland, Newcastle and surrounding area's but no joy, also I cant find his sister Margarets Baptism which suggests to me they were baptised somewhere together.

maybe someone has parish records I have missed but I am baffled as to why John Robson my direct line appears to be neither Registered or Baptised.

Many Thanks
Allan Robson

It would be better to continue on your other thread to save duplication of results.
