He's thomas robson living in elswick area of newcastle upon tyne in 1906 dob approx 1877. It would appear he left the area and his family prior to 1911. Married to Annie Eliza Robson formerly Conroy 1905.

Annie Eliza has 2 sisters Ada Adelaide Beatrice & Emily M.
Ada appears to have been born in India. Why were they there? I'd also love to see birth details for Ada.

Help please
Thanks.
