A Memory of Tarset Burn.

My maternal grandfather was born in Stockton on Tees in 1892.  His father died, and his mother remarried resulting in him being farmed out to live with two maiden aunts who lived in "Tarset".  My brother and I have tried in vain to find exactly where this might have been (I now think that Tarset was in fact a parish).  His name was John (Jack) Robinson and the aunts' surname could have been Douglas.  He had an older brother, Robert, and a younger sister Mary who remained with her mother.  Robert married Eleanor Fenwick and emigrated to Australia.  Mary never married and died in Benwell, Newcastle upon Tyne around 1982.
Is there anyone out there who can fill in some of the gaps for me?
