Thank you all for the info as you have the right parents for Robsons as I know my grandma Alice had a brother and sister lorna and Tom and that Sabina was widowed young,so I can put Robsons mother down now as margaret Hirst. Alice Clarkson my grandma was married to John Porritt Sabina was her mother,and after she was widowed she married Alices father in law William 7years after Alice was married,14 years after her first husband died,I can also put down the dates on my tree when Robson died thanks again regards sandra

Could this be the Drummond family? Daughter's name is transcribed Senna but original could be Sebina,
1861 census
Rown Street, Falsgrave, Scarborough, Yorkshire
Thomas Drummond, head, 24, labourer ag, born Yorks, Hull
Maty A., wife, 23, born Lincs, Sumner
Senn/Sebina?, dau, 2, born Hull
Isabella, dau, 8 months, born Scarboro

And next door:
Richard Drummond, head, 36, labourer ag, born Hull
Elizabeth, wife, 39, born Scarboro
William Manson, son-in-law, 16, engine maker's apprentice, born Scarboro
Esther Manson, dau-in-law, 18, servant, born Scalby
Mary E. Drummond, dau, 5, born Scarboro

I think the Manson children, listed as in-law are stepchildren from Elizabeth's fist marriage.
