FreeBMD is missing many births in that period:

Rose

Perhaps you could try the nearest library in Middleton and look at old electoral rolls for Appleby Road. This will give you the correct surname, perhaps a middle initial and her parents.

Rose

thanks patchem,he returned to northern ireland before she was born and was told mary had a wee girl by one of his co workers who stayed on in the area.at the time they we working on the dam being built in the area.He say no one tried to contact him but,then again,nor did he.I hope they have had good lives and were happy.He says he never knew her name quite sad really.will try frebmd thanks
:-)

He cannot remember when, in a 4 year time-slot, the girl was born?

If he is 76 now, born 1938, so 22 to 26.

Did he ever see the baby, or acknowledge that he was the father, or pay any money for her upkeep?

If you look on free bmd, following Rose's guidance, perhaps the names will mean something to him (if he knew the baby's name).

my father has just told me that he is the father of mary's wee girl.big shock to me as you can imagine.He is 76, now dad wants to find her .That was her maiden name dad was married at time so thats why he left and came back to N Ireland..Although I don't condone his behaviour he is not in good health and I think he feels bad about it.Thank you for your help Rose :-)

There is one birth for a Robson child to Robson mother in Durham W which includes Middleton between 1960 /64 ( can be found on freebmd.org.uk by putting in Robson with mmn Robson) but there appear to be two sons also in subsequent year so probably not her

One Robinson/Robinson daughter born in those years in that area...but of course mother could have been living elsewhere for the birth and assuming she was not married.

Welcome to the boards, Dorothy.

Could you say what your connection to Mary is, please?

Thank-you

Trying to locate Mary Robinson who lived in Appleby road,middleton ,teesdale ,durham.Her father owned a quarry in the area and Mary worked in a bakery in the village.This would have been in the 1960's ,think Mary gave birth to a daughter in 1960-1964. Would welcome any information thanks.
