Marriage of James Robson and Jane Campbell, around Sunderland 1800.

[Higpoidius]

rosie99 - I suppose it's possible. The children are all registered with Jane Campbell as mother, so that Oxnam marriage would be a bit puzzling, unless she's suddenly resorted to a maiden name?
The mention of Alexander being a 2nd son is also at the moment a mystery, as I can only find daughters born to James and Jane. As the 1st daughter is named Jane, I would have expected a son named James. The daughter born after William has the Christian name Calender, which I am assuming is either a family name or named after the place Callander.

Rosie99, as far as I can see:
Jane 24/28 Nov 1791, Cornhill, Northumberland
Marey 4/8 Feb 1798, Cornhill, Northumberland
There is also Calender (female) 8/12 April 1803, Cornhill, Northumberland.

Searching on freeReg and on the excellent baptism records provided by the Cornhill Social History Project https://www.cornhillsocialhistory.org.uk/Records.html I can see five baptisms in Cornhill to John and Jane (but I'm quite open to correction  )

Jane in 1791 (died in 1815)
Alsy in 1795
Nancy in 1798
Alexander in 1800
Elender/Ealender (not Calender) in 1803.

These records supply the useful information that James was a weaver and that he was also a dissenter. This latter suggests to me that he quite likely married in Scotland. Being so close to Coldstream, it could possibly have been an 'irregular' cross-border marriage (more info here https://www.bordersancestry.com/blog/tying-the-knot-in-the-borders-a-look-at-regular-irregular-marriages-in-the-scottish-borders-and-dispelling-the-myths

James and Jane are still in Cornhill in 1841 and his birthplace is given as Scotland.

JenB - this is fabulous! What a wonderful site and article! It would seem the marriage may well have been one of the Coldstream ones. What a shame the author's records don't quite go back that far! Still, it's very good evidence of what might have happened.
The children correspond to what I have found, apart from the Marey. I was wondering about her, with Nancy being christened the same year, but will keep it as a possible. Elender/Ealander makes much more sense that Calender!
HUGE thanks for all your time and research into this fascinating subject.
And just seen your message on the 1841 census. Thank you!

I have added James's burial to that posting.

You have 'Marey' as born 4th Feb and baptised on the 8th Feb 1798. I can't see any corresponding baptisms on freeReg or the Cornhill transcriptions. But they do both show Nancy  as born 4th July and baptised on 8th July 1798. The coincidence of dates can't be ignored.

I strongly suspect that there is an error in the transcription you've found for 'Marey' and that she is in fact Nancy.

Thanks again JenB. I hadn't spotted that and it seems very logical.
