Hi Joan, Sorry to say, but those names don't ring any bells. My mothers family 'Robson' comes down from Benjamin Allen Robson b.1833 in Sunderland and d.1932 aged 98. He was known as the 'old man of Hendon' and had an article about him in the Sunderland Echo. However, unless he had brothers, whose offspring match the names you mention, then I can't see any connection. I know he had a sister Elizabeth but I have found no brothers as yet. I shall keep you in mind if I come across any of those.
