Hi...
I have had a look, and found in 1891 census
Robert Dobbie Head age 33
Eleanor Wife age 25 b Durham
Robert Son age 10 months b Durham
Emily Fields Servant Age 17
I looks to me that Robert was working as a Farmworker.
It looks like they were living at 37 Denham Road....I found it a bit difficult to read, so others here may be able to help
Cheers ;D

Dusham Rd Tudhoe
David, Robert and his father are shearers, I am not able to read what type looks like something flax but I could be way off
1861
No Street Names just number, his is 1, I have looked back over the previous 5 pages and still can't find a name.
Occupation is ?something Plate shearer The missing eword could be snith but that again is a wild guess

Thank you. I think they worked in the iron/steel industry.

Some info that may be of use - if you search the trade directories on my website www.picturespennymoor.co.uk (http://www.picturespennymoor.co.uk) for dobbie I think your ancestor is listed.
The listing mentions a Robert Dobbie who was a grocer in Weardale Street. The shop still exists (it's a craft shop now). It's on a corner at the top of a bank which has always been know locally as "Dobbies bank" ...!
