Thanks, John. Did you find it on 1837online? How would I order a marriage certificate?, cost? Judy Dawe

Hi Judy, Thank you for the latest E-Mail. Just to let you know your John Robson & Jane Wilkinson married in Cokermouth, Cumberland, England not far from Aspatria in 1838. John.

Sorry, Alex, my John Robson married Jane Wilkinson in Plumbland Parish, Cul about 1838. jld

Thanks for writing, John. I'm not all there and will be departing for beddie-bye soon. Have been going since 7am, non-stop all day; it's after 3:30am now. It's been quite a day if you know what's happening in the States today. And it's not really over for awhile. Andrew Robson and Margaret Blackburn Robson. Haven't checked IGI for awhile so don't know about that entry. Says it's closed for repairs; or something like that. Don't know anyone in the family who is LDS off hand. I had some info on the Dixon County, Nebraska web site. I was excited that they used my picture of the Concord Cemetery sign since I'm not a photographer. I was "shooting" gravestones that day. I got a picture of Andrew and Margaret's headstone that week. Also have an old photo of them; don't recall the date of that. Andrew and Margaret were my great, great, grandparents. Their daughter, Annie, is considered the founder of my grandmother and, hence, my mother's line. Will see what I can find in the next few days. I appreciate you're checking 1837online. I am trying to find a marriage license for them. I show a marriage date of approx. Oct. 16, 1862 in England. I assume that is Cumberland as they raised their family in Aspatria. I think Margaret was from Dearham, born about 1834; Andrew was born in Aspatria Dec. 11, 1840. He had a brother slightly older born in 1838 who died in 1839. I don't think he lived 11 months; his name was also Andrew. My Andrew died in 1906; Margaret died in 1921. They are both buried in Orchard Hill Cemetery, Orchard, Nebraska, USA. Margaret had a son John Blackburn (born abt. 1857) when Andrew and Margaret married. So, she may have been a widow; I don't have another last name or know if Blackburn is a maiden name. Their first child was Anne/Annie born 1863. I have a lot of "facts", but not documentation of same. ttfn, jld

I note several messages regarding ROBSON. I have a John ROBSON, a native of Roxboroughshire married to Isabella VEITCH who emigrated to Ontario, Canada in the early 1800s. Any connection? Cheers, Alex.

Good job, John. Either would fit. As it happens, John Robson and Jane W. Robson had a daughter named Mary, so I'm favoring your first find. Although either is a possibility and more than I've been able to find. I'm in the process of trying to find their marriage without any luck. Will try Andrew Robson and Margaret Blackburn. My problem is 1837online. I am able to view one or two entries, but not all. Not sure why. Thought it had something to do with the Pop-Up Guard, but changing it didn't seem to help. Any other ideas? You seem to be ahead of me in several areas. Thanks, Judy Dawe

John Elder was born around 1734 at Hawick. He married Jane Stewart on 31 Dec 1768 also at Hawick. They had three known children, Ann, b. 1771; Walter, b. 1770 and Jane, b. 1773, all born Hawick. Ann married a Robert Henry and they had a son James in 1807. Can anyone help me with the Elder family?

Hi Judy, Who put all of the details about the family of Andrew Robson and Margaret Blackburn on the IGI. Later on to day i will go on to online1837.com to see if i can pick up John Robson marriage if i can i will let you know. Also this is my E-Mail Address if you want to get in touch with me. jmba17414@blueyonder.co.uk John Murray.

This is a good example of how you can be chasing the wrong name. My husband's family tree has an Isabella Veitch, born in Scotland married to a James Neill from Glasgow. I wonder if there is any connection here?

Hi All I am very rarely on the scrounge, but this can't wait until the next time I am in GRO, Edinburgh, if anyone has a spare search left Online, could they please do one for this death of a Margaret Weir, married to William Stewart of Innerleithen, 17th October 1891, I would dearly like to know who her Mother and Father were, it holds to key to a new line of research.

Thanks for writing, John. I will look into getting a marriage license on Andrew or John. John and Jane were married in 1838 in Plumbland Parish and Andrew and his wife, Margaret were married in 1862. I have no place, but she was born in Dearham, Andrew was born in Aspatria. I know they aren't that far apart. The marriage for Andrew's daughter, Anne, was registered at Wigton so maybe Andrew's was also. Really wasn't sure how to go about it. Talked to a professional genealogist I just happen to meet tonight and she impressed upon me how important documentation is. I think Heather de Carlo may be a distant cousin. I may even have met her long ago. I used to spend my summers in Nebraska where my Mom's parents lived. That is where all her ancestors settled when they came from Cumberland in 1885 and 1887. I believe she and I may have exchanged email earlier this year or last year. Thanks for mentioning it. Dean Lisle is also a cousin; he's related to my grandmother's side. I think Heather is related to my grandmother's side, but don't recall. My grandmother's parents were Isaac Davidson and Anne Robson. Annie's consided the foundation of our line at our Ross-Robson reunions. My personal favorite is Isaac's father, Philip. It's funny how a particular ancestor stays with you. I don't have the same affinity for my Dad's line, although I was always a Daddy's girl. His line is from Cornwall. I actually started my work there. Sorry to bend your ear. I haven't had any time for my computer or genealogy lately so I'm taking advantage of you. Thanks, Judy Dawe

Hi Judy, I have now had a another look for you John Robson in Castleton Parish. I have found this. James Robson Born 31st December 1798 Castleton Parish. Father Andrew Robson. Mother Mary Moffat. John Robson About 1800 Castleton Parish. Father Andrew Robson These are the only two i have been able to find with a Andrew Robson as the father. Found no Marriage. John.

Hi Judy, Now that i have had a look on the 1881 Census i except they your John Robson was born in Scotland. In 1881 he was living with his wife and family in Aspatria New Town, Aspatria, Cumberland , England' . John Robson Head Age 82 Ag/Lab Head Married Born Scotland. Jane Robson Wife Age 64 Domestic Servant Born Gilcrux, Cumberland, England. And Children and Grandchildren. James Robson Son Age 32 Coal Miner U/M Born Aspatria, Cumberland, England. John Robson Son Age 26 Coal Miner Born Aspatria, Cumberland, England. William Robson Grandson Age 10 Scholar Born Aspatria, Cumberland, England. Jane Weightman Granddaughter Age 11 Months Born Aspatria, Cumberland, England. Unfortunate as you say you do not know as to the name of John father the only way you are going to find this is to get hold of the Marriage certificate of John/ Jane who married in 1838. As they were married in England the marriage details will only give you John Robson Age, Occupation, where he was living at the time and the name of his father, and the father occupation no mother name on the English certificates. Another thing you can do is to get hold of the birth certificate of the first Andrew Robson, it is always said that the children were born at one of the parents houses this may tell you where John parents were living at the time. You an obtain the Birth and Marriage and Death certificates by going on to www.1837online.com By the way do you know of a Heather DeCarlo is she doing the same Robson as you. John.

By 1881 they'd moved to Sheffield. They married in 1872 and both give Kelso addresses on their marriage certificate. Like I said, I've traced Margaret's family OK but am having a problem with James Henderson - I don't know where he was born. On one England census it just says Scotland and on the other it gives pob as Glasgow for both of them - I know that's not Where Margaret was from so have no reason to believe James was from there either.

Has 1871 been indexed? I think that's still a case of wading through the reels. So you might be better with someone looking them up in 1881. Given that you are looking for a James and Margaret HENDERSON, a simple lookup might send you on a wild goose chase anyway. Also, are you sure they were in Kelso, they could easily have moved to Gala for work and gone 'home' for the births. If you post the Kelso address, whoever looks them up in 1881 could check that as well and maybe find some extra relatives. All sorts of possibilities I think; Judy ---------- >From: "Shelagh Garside" <sgarside@sgarside.plus.com> >To: SCT-ROXBURGH-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [SCT-ROX] 1871 Census Lookup Request - Kelso >Date: 30, Sat Oct, 2004, 7:56 pm > > My g-g-grandparents, James Henderson and Margaret (Maggie) Howieson, were > married in Galashiels in 1872.

Thanks for checking for John Robson. My John Robson married Jane Wilkinson in May, 1838 in Plumbland Parish, Cumberland. He died about 1884. Jane sailed to the US in 1885 with their son, Andrew, his wife, and his family. They settled in Nebraska. Jane died about 1893. I haven't a clue about John Robson's life prior to 1838. Which would be about 39 years. A lifetime for many men then. 1799 is the approx. age given in the 1881 UK census records. John is listed as 82. Jane was born about 1817 in Gilcrux, Cumberland. I had thought his father's name was Andrew, but some many of the documents give another man. I'm glad to accept what makes since for the time being. It's hard to prove anything at that time. Andrew is what John and Jane named their first son who died within a year. The next year Jane gave birth to another boy they named Andrew. I think that is the reason Andrew is thought to be John's father's name. But equally it could be a name in Jane's family. Although her father's name is James. They had a son born in 1843 who died young, and another born in 1848; both of them named James. They had two daughters named Jane (1846) and Mary (1851). Their son, John, was born in 1854 and their son, Wilkson (or some variation), was born in 1857. Which means he was born in the U.S.; all the others were born in England. I believe Wilkson died young. jld

My g-g-grandparents, James Henderson and Margaret (Maggie) Howieson, were married in Galashiels in 1872. There marriage certificate gives both their addresses as Kelso and their first 2 children were born in Kelso. Could someone please look up James Henderson for me please? I've been able to track Maggie's family quite a long way back but am completely stuck with James. James would have been born around 1849 and his parents were David Henderson (deceased by 1872) and Mary Ann Ward. I'm particularly interested to know where James was born. Thanks - Shelagh
