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

[Higpoidius]

Thanks as always, jonwarrn for more info. Those Campbells in Cornhill are tantalising, and may well be related to our Jane, but can't make the link as yet. I'm quite surprised there are so few Campbells listed, being so close to the border as it is. Perhaps it was just one or 2 Campbell families there at that time.

However, I do seem to have found James Robson's bpt. in 1765:
13 Oct 1765 Morebattle, parish of Nether HAYHOPE (as on Alexander's birth record), to Charles Robson WEAVER. (Scotland's People). Assuming that James followed into his father's profession.

Looks promising!

Playing around with the new full text search on FS brings up a mention of James Robson of Cornhill, weaver, named as a cousin in the will of Eleanor French, spinster of Alnwick (she died 5 June 1840)
He got £20.

Among other bequests is another £20 to a widowed Jane Robson of Branxton.

Is it the right James?

Probably Eleanor's death reg.
FRENCH, ELEANOR   
Age at Death (in years): 80

FS has a marriage(?) record of
Charles Robson + Alison French, 1758, Sprouston, Roxburghshire

Doesn't seem to come up on SP. But it is followed by the birth or baptism of son Alexander at Town Yetholm. Date given is 29 June 1760. Is on both sites.
