Walton Robson--trying to find hometown in England
Hello!
I am searching my forebear Walton Robson, Married to Mary-Anne Gray in 1847 at the Protestant Episcopal Church at Huntingdon and Parts Adjacent. I am quite sure that he was born in England and moved to Canada in the mid 1830s. (A Walton Robson shows up on the volunteer payroll lists for 1837-38).
I have a good bit of information about him and his children and I know when and where he died (in Lancaster, Ontario).
However, I am stumped at finding out his birthplace. Any ideas where I might go for more information? I've not had any luck with the censuses yet but I think they don't have town of birth anyway, only country of birth.
Thanks for the help, out there!

The following is from the IGI:
WALTON ROBSON Gender: Male Christening: 14 JUN 1821 Bridlington, Yorkshire, England
I notice the 1881 census has him born 1823 so its a fair match

Thanks--I had seen that too and figured it was my best match and then, stupidly, had forgotten where I had seen the mention of Bridlington! It does make some sense, especially given the large number of Robsons from that district of England.
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
I think probably not, though I am not sure. The name isn't familiar but let me snoop around a little bit.

Apologies for such a very long time since you wrote to me. Alas, I think that there is no linkage there.
