> I am researching Isabella Robson Bn. 1884 Newcastle on Tyne, or Consett Co. Durham (age has > come from her death certificate) her father was William Robson, Coal Miner. Hello Pauline, As you do not have the certificate for Isabella's first marriage, I was wondering what your source was for the name of her father? Do you perhaps have a certificate for a later marriage? Based on the information you have supplied, one possibility from the 1891 census is this family: RG12/4121 Folio 37 Co. Durham, Civil parish - Plawsworth Village - Nettlesworth Ecclesiastical Parish - Sacriston Back Row 2 rooms William Robson, Head, M, age 37 years, Coalminer, born Leadgate, Durham Elizabeth do, wife, age 35, born Seaham, Durham Jane Ann do, dau, S, 17, Domestic Servant, born Ushawmoor, Durham Margaret do, dau, S, 15, Mother's Help, born Walker Teams, Durham Mary E. do, daur, S, 13, Scholar, born Hebburn, Durham Isabella do, 7, scholar, born Ludworth, Durham James do, son, 5, Scholar, born Kimblesworth Durham Lily do, dau, 1, born Kimblesworth, Durham. In 1901, this family was still in the same village: 1901 Census, Co. Durham RG 13/4700 Folio 157 Civil Parish - Plawsworth Ecc Parish - Sacriston St Peter Village - Nettlesworth Broadmires 2 rooms William Robson, Head, M, 47, Coal Hewer, born Durham Leadgate Elizabeth do, wife, 48, born do Isabella do, dau, S, 17, born do James do, son, 15, born do Plawsworth Lily do, dau, 12, born do do Dora do, daur, 10, born do do I could not see Nettlesworth on my road map but according to GENUKI www.genuki.org.uk it is a hamlet in the parish of Sacriston, about a mile and a half north-west from Plawsworth. Robson is a very common surname in the area, and there are a number of possibilities for Isabella's birth registration, but these seem to be possibilties for Dora and Lily from FreeBMD http://freebmd.rootsweb.com : Births Mar 1892 (>99%) ROBSON Dora Chester le S. 10a 531 Births Dec 1889 (>99%) Robson Lily Chester le S 10a 480 Hope that this helps.
