Moving towards accepting 1841census for Newark,Notts.which shows Robert jnr parents born in Scotland and Robert born Newark 1832.
Parents both born Scotland but possibly married in Notts. Circa 1827?
Unfortunately none of this helps with Mothers maiden name.
Thanks everybody for your efforts.

Re the Robert Robison in Newark his mother was Mary McMyn. ( can be established via sibling James). He can be identified in Newark in subsequent censuses and was a tea dealer/grocer. A daughter called Jessie is recorded in the 1881 census- her mother's maiden name was Clark. 1871 wife is showing as Jeanie and in 1881 as Jessie - suspect a second marriage. Both marriages may have been in Scotland.

The Newark Robert was unmarried in 1861. The Dumfries wedding to Jane Beck could not be for him.
