Hello. Came across your request for information on James Atkins and family of Broomhope Cottage, Birtley, Northumberland. He is my great-grandfather and his wife Ann Parker is my my g-grandmother. I can tell you all about the family. It is complicated as James was actually born illegitimate in Mitford in 1828 and took the Atkins surname from his stepfather later. He was also known as James Atkin Robson at various times, hence the confusion you describe. His son, Edward (Ned) Atkins, emigrated to Canada and my own father (William Atkins) lived with him in Winnipeg in the 1920s. Ned had a number of children but I believe none of them left descendants in Canada. Do contact me privately as I can let you know more. I am on Twitter as @OfArbeia and Facebook as Mary or Marina Maxwell. I also am an author and have the website www.marinamaxwellauthor.com.
