Thanks John, that fits. Charles remarried to Hannah Coulson in 1851. Their marriage certificate described him as a widower.

The niece Sarah Ann Preston who appears on the 1860 Rotterdam register was the daughter of William Preston and Elizabeth Robinson. In 1861 she is back in Darlington - and her grandmother Ann Robinson is there too:

William Preston   Head    46 Woollen factory overlooker- Darlington
Elizabeth Preston Wife 32 - Selby
William Preston   Son   19 Newspaper reporter - Darlington
Sarah A Preston   Daughter   8 - Darlington
Mary J Preston   Daughter   4 - Darlington
Catherine Daughter 2 - Darlington
Ann Robinson mother 76 - Whitehaven

Thanks again for the feedback. it seems William Preston married twice, as Elizabeth is too young to be the mother of 19 year old William in the 1861 census.

I do think the marriage you found for Charles Robinson and Margaret Brockland was the right one, especially given the place of birth for their son James in 1841

And the details in the 1841 census seem to fit to. Could Charles have already gone to Rotterdam? Or was he away working? When he married Hannah Coulson in 1841, his occupation was commercial traveller.

This family sure has proven to be interesting :-)
