Quite odd as:-
Ann Robson 25th February 1837 Earsdon Father Andrew Father Mary Nicholson Robson
So is 1841 census a different family?
Keyboard86
EDIT An Ann Robson 14 b Earsdon is a Servant with a Bell family in Tynemouth
Census ref HO107/2412/74/28

I think ole Andrew married two Margarets, the first being a Nicholson and the second a Stephenson. Make sense?

Here are the children I have found. Since the marriage cert says he and Margaret were married in 1846, Ann and Margery are probably from a prior marriage.
Ann 1837, Margery 1841, Mary Dorothy 1848 1928, James 1850 1862 (Killed in Hartley mine disaster), Margaret 1851 1931, June 1853 1855, Isaac 1857 1931. I have come across the Nicholson last name but can't reconcile it.

According to the marriage certificate, my second great grand father, Andrew Robson, was a widower. I would like to find about his previous wife. And help will be appreciated.

I got a bite from Andrew Lowe! Still a mystery, but I hope this information helps. Any clues anyone?

'afternoon Tom.
Finally got round to responding, apologies.
The only information I have been able to find to date is from an old book 'Local Records of Remarkable Events' by John Sykes, first published 1733, but updated 1766. An extract reads:
1743 April 1.
During a violent storm at sea, six cobles belonging to South Shields were lost, in which 19 men perished some of them in sight or their wives, also three cobles belonging to Hartley and Blyth, in which eight or ten men were drowned. Much damage was done at Sunderland and at Hartlepool, where a number of cobles and many fishermen were lost.
There are no names of the lost but it would appear someone has found them somewhere.
It seems that Joseph and his Brother Peter were lost then, while their brothers John and William were lost similarly in 1731.
Trust this helps

« on: Tuesday 26 December 17 13:47 GMT (UK) »Erm ... russellte .... I've looked at the Ancestry trees for your man. From my reading they have him not "lost at sea" = Drowned, but dying at a place called Sea in Somerset, which I think may be Burnham-on-Sea.Do you have a specific reference I can use or investigate? Thanks Tom
Cheers,
