John ROBSON - Vet - Bedale

[lynnesl0t]

My gggrandad was John Robson. He was born in Leeming c 1790/1. I am trying to find his birth and as there are so many John Robsons it is proving tricky!!
He lived in Bedale and was a vet. He was married in 1833 to Elizabeth Husband and they had several children.Any help tracking down his birth and parents much appreciated.

Hi Lynnesl0t 

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/NRY/Burneston/index.html

Firstly, have a look at the above link, Leeming is in the parish of Burneston.

According to the 1861 census John Robson was born in approx 1788.

IGI records state:

Christening - Burneston, 03rd. August 1788
John Robson
Parents: Thomas and Jane Robson

Do you have the census details? If not I will quite gladly
post them for you.
Meanwhile I will try and track down Thomas and Jane in 1841 etc.

Regards,

Pels

1841 census.

HO 107/1248/6, Folio 17, page 6
Township of Exelby, Leeming

William Robson, 34, Blacksmith
Ellen, 35,
Mary Ann, 2
John, 3 mths.
Jane, 74

All born in county

William Robson, according to IGI was also the son of
Thomas and Jane Robson

Also John Robson was only a Vet in 1841, later census returns have his occupation as a Blacksmith and a Farrier.

Hope this will help,

There is a photo of Emgate, where Robert and family lived in Bedale on the above link, sorry but it is quite recent - c. 1960.

Hi again, 

I was hoping to take you back further through Thomas, but sadly have drawn a blank. There are possibilities, but that is all I'm afraid.

I did find this transcript from the Baines directory of 1823:
Leeming.

John Robson, Blacksmith and Farrier.

It looks likely that John, in later years returned to his former profession.

Best wishes,
