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
