Thank everyone for their replies - I have some certificates, although some of the names don't match up. In the 1891 Census for William Swan, it shows that Mary Ann was born at Earsdon, Northumberland, and also shows her daughter Isabella Jane Dobson was living with them.


Marrriage Certificate - March 1883
1. Jonathan Dobson (father Robert Dobson - Coal Miner - deceased)
2 . Mary Ann Cuthbertson (father William Cuthbertson - Coal Miner

Birth Certificate
1 .Isabella Jane Dobson - born 1885 - South Shields
2. Father - Jonathan Dobson - Coal Miner
3. Mother - Mary Ann Dobson (formerly Robinson) (??)

Marriage Certificate - 1887
1. William Swan (father - Robert Swan - miner)
2. Mary Ann Dobson (father - Joseph Robinson - miner) (??)

Birth Certificate
1. Frances Ann Swan - born 1888 - Ryhope
2. Father - William Swan - Coal miner
3. Mother - Mary Ann Swan, late Dobson, formerly Cuthbertson (??)

Marriage Certificate - 1904
1. St Frederick Brown (father William Christopher Brown - farmer)
2. Isabella Jane Dobson (father Joseph (??) Dobson - miner


Mary Ann shows the names Cuthbertson, Robinson and Dobson
also her father is shown as William Cuthbertson and Joseph Robinson - I am totally confused. Are there two Mary Ann's - Can anyone help?

Interestingly, the 1891 image, there is a Joseph Robinson, Coal Miner, with wife Isabella, living in the same buildings as the William and Mary Ann (and there is a John Cutherbertson living there too!)

What address does Mary Ann give on the 1883 marriage cert?

Potty

Potty Report 23 Jul 2013 10:19

Only thing I can think of is that Mary Ann's mother remarried and that one of the father's is her real father and the other her stepfather. I did look for a connection to the Joseph Robinson in the 1891 but have found him back to 1871 - no children shown.
