Title: Fothergill Robinson AND Atkinson families of Liverpool area
Post by: StellaFox09 on Tuesday 14 April 09 18:45 BST (UK)
Hello,

Further to my interest in Lisgo/w/e (etc.) I would like to know if any one is researching Fothergill Robinsons.

The earliest marriege I have is;

William Robinson---1784------Eleanor Fothergill
Bookseller of Liverpool

Then my ancestors are;

William Fothergill Robinson (1802-1870, Broker/Proprietor, Liverpool)
Arthur Robinson (1843-1887, Banker/Broker South American Bank, Liverpool)
Ethel Mary Robinson (I am descended from her son, Christopher Bedford Steel)

I'd really like to know about William and Eleanor, as I don't know their dates of birth and where exactly they came from, only that William was;

'A Dalesman who came down from the Lakes to Liverpool...'

Also, any information on Atkinsons of Liverpool, as folllows;

Christopher Atkinson----------Susannah Wilkinson
Job unknown (info please)    (Parents; Mark Wilkinson & Jane Whitehead)
                                              ((Ancestry in Saddleworth & area, Yorkshire))

Christopher Atkinson------Ellen Sutton
b.1807                              (daughter of a Cheshire Farmer, Peter Sutton)
American Hide Merchant
He travelled many times to Charleston, South Carolina (about 32 crossings)

Mary Susan Atkinson-----Arthur Robinson ((as mentioned above)


Any information would be great, thanks.

Bye for now

Jess
