Dear rcooper
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I had a look on rootsireland.ie but couldn?t see a marriage or baptism records for your ancestors. It could be they were born in a place and at a time that predates the parish records.
There are 2 Middleton entries in the Tithe Applotment Books 1828 for Co. Down:
There is also a 'Robert Middleton' in the Griffith?s Valuation (1847-1864) but there is no way to know if this is the ?returned? Robert.

You could have a look at this list of Freeholders to see if you can learn anything more:

Let us know if your research progresses
