It looks very much as though there was no marriage to Harbron.............

Thanks Reggie, I discounted that marriage because I couldn't think why they would have got married in Teesdale. Silly really because it's not that far away.

If Robert knew his father's name, it should be on his marriage cert

Hello Reggie, I sent for the Will of Elizabeth Etherington who died 18 June 1877, 6 days after her husband William Etherington. In it she leaves what she has to her son Robert Harbron and his wife Elizabeth Harbron. Elizabeth's maiden name was Thompson but I can't find a marriage for Harbron/Thompson or Harbron/Etherington. It doesn't help that Harbron has various spellings. Thanks.
I will also try the above link Marie.

You could try browsing through the unindexed images for Sedgefield on FamilySearch to see if Robert's baptism is on there.

Here's the link:

What leads you to think that Elizabeth was Robert's mother?

Who was his father?

I am now looking for Elizabeth Harbron on the 1841 census. Family search has her at Bishopton, Co Durham aged 44. I think she may be Robert's mother. I would like to know who she is living with. Thank you.
