I've used the same for search for a marriage . there are only three which are viable , that's if richards spouse is nancy ,as you have said before it could be a name she used and not necessarily the right one , although on the births it says mother nancy . they are :-

Marriage: 1 Dec 1806 St Leonard, Padiham, Lancashire, England
Richard Robinson - (X), this Chapelry
Nancy Hargreaves - (X), this Chapelry

by the way it's a lot easier doing the way you told me instead of trawling through all the records so a big thank you .

I've just added some spaces to your posts so it's easier to see where one entry ends and the next begins!

With regards to the first marriage, I think these two baptisms belong to that couple and helpfully the father's occupation is included:

Baptism: 25 Jun 1809 St Leonard, Padiham, Lancashire, England
William Robinson - Son of Richard Robinson & Nancy
Born: 9 Jan 1807
Abode: Padiham
Occupation: Weaver
Register: Baptisms 1803 - 1812, Entry 65
Source: Original Parish Register

Baptism: 25 Jun 1809 St Leonard, Padiham, Lancashire, England
John Robinson - Son of Richard Robinson & Nancy
Born: 9 May 1809
Abode: Padiham
Occupation: Weaver
Register: Baptisms 1803 - 1812, Entry 66
Source: Original Parish Register

It's a pity there are not more baptisms, overlaping in date with the ones at Bolton, so it could be easier to say they are 100% not the same couple, but a weaver would not normally suddenly become a joiner and especially as we know later it says cabinet maker for your Richard, so presumably a properly trained (apprenticed?) woodworker.

So, I think the first marriage of the three is eliminated.

The other two are more tricky.

From 1812 onward there really only seems to be your Richard and Nancy having children baptised in Lancashire, where we might prefer to see two sets and work out which set belongs to which couple.

Most websites that offer variables on first names include variants of Ann for Nancy, but Lancs OPC doesn't so you should also search Richard and Ann to see if anything else comes up. Searching for baptisms for Richard and Ann doesn't give any more at Bolton or Padiham or any at Warrington or Prestwich.

I also looked at marriages of Richard and Ann, but there were none that looked anywhere near as likely as the two Richard and Nancy marriages we already have.

With regard to your Richard's occupation, there is this on Ancestry:

UK, Register of Duties Paid for Apprentices' Indentures, 1710-1811

Monday 30th March 1801

Master, Joshua Marsden, Standish, Co of Lancaster, joiner etc, apprentice Ricd Robinson

The date generally marks the start of a seven year apprenticeship and the apprentice would normally be aged about 14 (not younger). So, I think it's pretty likely this is your Richard and he would most likely have been born about 1787ish. Of course having an apprenticeship at Standish doesn't particularly help with where he might have married (Warrington or Prestwich - and it's quite possible neither of those are the right marriage!), so we need more information or some way to eliminate one of the marriages.

If you were thinking the Prestwich marriage is a bit close to the first baptism date, I noticed that too, but I don't think we can exclude that marriage because of the dates. If anything, it may make that marriage the more likely one!!

I wondered about what happened to Richard and Nancy.

As you said, the name Robinson is pretty common!

I think we already know that your Jamesb 1825 wasn't with his parents on any census, so we need to see if any of the other children were.

First we need to see if any of the children were buried young, to eliminate them from appearing on a census:

Burial: 19 Mar 1824 St Peter, Bolton, Lancashire, England
Nancy Robinson - Daughter of Richd. Robinson
Age: 1 year
Abode: Great Bolton
Buried by: Lowther Grisdale, Offg. Minister
Register: Burials 1823 - 1826, Page 90, Entry 716
Source: LDS Film 1966470

So, that leaves us with

Ellen 1813
John 1814
Hannah 1817
Mary Ann 1819
(James 1825 who we have already covered)

to look for. Normally I would look for the youngest, but none would be that young in 1841 so I looked for younger, but less commonly named, Hannah.

This looked very promising - correct name and occ for father and Ormskirk where your James lived.:

Marriage: 7 Feb 1842 St Peter and St Paul, Ormskirk, Lancashire, England
Thomas Strickland - Full, Miller, Widower, Lathom
Hannah Robinson - Full, Spinster, Ormskirk
Groom's Father: Henry Strickland, Miller
Bride's Father: Richard Robinson, Joiner
Witness: John Robinson; Hannah Nuttall
Married by Licence by: Charles Forshaw
Register: Marriages 1837 - 1846, Page 109, Entry 218
Source: LDS Film 1849665

In 1851 Hannah and her husband are living at Preston, with a stepson for Thomas Strictland called Richard Robinson aged 15 b Bolton. Hannah is aged 34 and born at Bolton, so perfect!

Next to find her in 1841.

1841 Census Ormskirk, Moor Street

Nancy Robinson 50 shopkeeper Yes
Hannah Robinson 20 Yes
Richard Robinson 6 Yes

Hannah (and probably Nancy also) have had their ages rounded down to the nearest 5 years as the census form requested.

Helpfully, Nancy is still alive in 1851:

Ormskirk, Cock Pit Yard, Chapel Lane

Nancy Robinson head widow 63 born Bolton, Lancs

The rest of her household are all lodgers, surnames Leaver, Cowen and Travis.
