Born 18 Apr 1804, bap 29 July 1804. Elizabeth Wanless dau. of John Wandlass of Hebburn Colliery bhw Eleanor Fenwick, native of Tynemouth.

11 Dec 1808, born 9 Oct, Thomas Wanlass, abode Hebburn, 6th son of Thomas Wanlass
of Chester le Street, banksman, and Jane dau. of Jno. Embleton of Chester le Street
--so Robert b. 1806 was the 6th child and 5th son.

5 July 1812, born 29 Feb, Margaret Anne Wanlass, abode Hebburn Colliery, 5th child and first daughter of Thos. Wanlass of Chester le Street, banksman, and Jane d/o John Embleton of Chester le Street
-- the 1806 baptism for this couple said 6th child and the 1812 baptism says either 5th or 6th (it's hard to read). From the christening records for this couple, Margaret Anne is actually their 8th child.
