	George W Robinson was born in Stockton on Tees, Co. Durham in 1858. He was the informant on his fathers' death certificate in 1909 and his address was given as Wapping Street, South Shields. Try as I might I can't find him on the 1901 census, I have tried all kinds of combinations . . . . can somebody please help?

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Going by the ages in 1901 I don't think that the 1898 South Shields marriage is the right one: ROBINSON, George Watson Head Married M 26 1875 Fireman At Boilers Ryhope Durham ROBINSON, Susan Ann Wife Married F 24 1877 Jarrow Durham ROBINSON, Eva Daughter F 2 1899 Jarrow Durham ROBINSON, Lilian Daughter F 0 (6 MOS) 1901 Jarrow Durham Registration District: South Shields Civil Parish: Jarrow Address: 21, Nansen Street, Jarrow County: Durham

	Yes I did see that but do not know how close. Sometime places of birth are recorded wrongly.
Member Since: November 2003 Posts: 720 Send Message	Hawthorn	Report	11 Apr 2012 20:46
	We definately seem to have drawn a blank on him in 1901! :-(

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Elwick is very near Hartlepool and is about 10 miles from Stockton ......
Member Since: November 2003 Posts: 720 Send Message	Hawthorn	Report	11 Apr 2012 20:48
	Earlier census returns definately have him being born in Stockton.
