Birth/Baptismal look up request for ROBINSON children in Durham

Classification: Query
Surnames: Robinson, Forster, Foster
I am trying to learn the maiden name of my gg-grandmother, Margaret Ann (#1, see listing of census records below), who married Robert Robinson. Since Robinson is such a common name it's difficult for me to pinpoint a specific marriage record for them (nor do I have a specific marriage date). I do, however, have pretty conclusive census record listings (1861-1891) of them that might help locate a birth record for one or more of their children which might list her maiden name. Possiblities include:
(#11) John Robinson, b 1851-1852 in Byers Green or Newfield
(#12) Mary Ann Robinson (my g-grandmother), b 28 Feb 1855 (from grave marker) in Gateshead or Blue Quarries
(#13) Robert Robinson, b 1860 in Willington
(#14) Catherine Robinson, b 1863-1865 in Willington
Can anyone, therefore, help me pinpoint a birth or baptismal record for any of these children that have a father named Robert Robinson and a mother named Margaret? Or can anyone recommend where I can search to find these details? (Seems like most of the search indices don't give enough detail to match a child with the names of their mother/father).
Thanks for any help you can give!
