Their fist son was named Richard born st lukes, mdx and by 61 census they were at 1 William St, Stratford, West Ham - District of St John's
but it gets worse because on this census they have been to Cork, Ireland between 1857 till then and had two children Margaret and Robson aged 3 and one who died by 71 census in Newcastle. Now I know they returned to Newcastle because Richard seniors father Robson died. His occupation was down as engine fitter so its either the railway or something to do with boats. My great aunt recently said he had invented a whell but doesnt know what for. She is always dropping clangers like this because two years ago she said that Elizabeth Hannah had connections with the Coombes of London brewers. She is now in her nineties so I dont think she would make stories up and wouldnt of been aware of the famous Coombe family.
the saga continues.................................lol!

Yeah ...... that's messy!!
Have you thought about concentrating your efforts in the Newcastle area?
Lots of industries there who would employ an engine fitter ...... and the fact that they travelled a fair bit makes me think he might have been chasing work where his skills might have been in demand.
A good site to follow up Newcastle is;

And the railway had only just opened up in Cork so he may have been involved in that expansion.
Of course,if you have'nt done so already you could post (in rootschat) what you know about the Davidson's in Newcastle.
Best of luck,

My starting point was my wife's grt grandfather, who was married to a Catherine from Kingsclere. I acquired the wedding cert which proved she was Catherine Twitchin. b 9/5/1826, m 18/7/1852 Westminster.
From Ancestrry.com and the fantastic Kingsclere site www.kingsclere.org.uk, I have  built a list, which I can send  off list in pdf or doc. contact me at rogercorti@aol.com
