This is just a very long shot.
Perhaps John is John Sr's stepson and mother Eleanor was married before? (Therefore John jr. christened with a different surname).
There's a fair gap between Douglas and John Jr.
Also if Eleanor is the mother of all the children she would have been very young when the first one was born (though not impossible).
There are several marriages on Freebmd of a John Robson to an Eleanor around the 1838-1840's.

Hello All
Looking for the birth or baptism of my 3x grandfather John Robson
he was born around 1840 possibly in the Hetton-le-Hole, Sunderland area, his parents could be John Robson and Eleanor Urwin.
his birth is not registered I have had all the John Robson's in county Durham and Northumberland checked, there is also no sign of a Baptism.

1841 Census Pemberton St, Hetton
Eleanor Robson age 30
Robert aged 13 born Newcastle
Mary Ann age 9 born Norton co Durham
Elizabeth age 8 born Norton
Douglas age 5 born Newcastle
John age 1 born?
I have all the above baptisms except John

1851 Census 20 Neasham Sq Sunderland
John Robson age 46 born Corbridge
Eleanor age 41 born Byker
John age 11 born Sunderland
Margaret age 10 born Sunderland(she was born in Hetton i have birth cert)
Armstrong age 8 born Hetton
Thomas age 3 months born Sunderland

John Robson born 1840? was a seaman and married Eleanor Ann Hall in Jan 1860 he gave his age as 22 on his marriage cert and said his father was John Robson a Joiner by trade.
John died in May 1865 age 26 as a result of an Accident, the parish records stated he was 25.
unless I can find his birth or baptism I will never know for sure who his parents were.
maybe someone can help.

Many Thanks
Allan Robson
