Find Ancestors

Good Morning
I am trying to find a marriage between Robert Smith and Margaret Elizabeth Robinson. I appreciate there might not have been one however I wondered if I had just missed it. Have looked on BMD and Ancestry so far.
I would very much appreciate it if you were able to have a look for me.
Many Thanks

The other three children also have Mother's Maiden Name of Robinson

Margaret Elizabeth was born in Hartley per 1881 census; Earsdon per 1891 and 1901.

Both are in Tynemouth reg district.
There are six birth registrations of girls named Margaret Robinson in Tynemouth, 1854-57, but none with middle name Elizabeth.

I don't see her marriage to Robert.

No sign of a marriage........could this be her in 1871?

Yes that is her

Some connection here I think
Dates look good and Roberts father was John

Ancestry suggests these are the births of those Robinson children in 1871 census:

ROBINSON, WILLIAM mmn SOFTLEY
GRO Reference: 1860 M Quarter in TYNEMOUTH Volume 10B Page 169

ROBINSON, MARGARET mmn SOFTLEY
GRO Reference: 1855 J Quarter in TYNEMOUTH Volume 10B Page 152

Not that that helps at all re a Smith/Robinson marriage.
