Sue,
Unfortunately I cannot help you with your quest to find the name of the wife of Thomas Robinson. I have copies of transcripts for Bridlington Priory parish registers which contain baptisms dating from 1782. The entries which I think relate to Jane and Ann, only record the fathers name as Thomas Robinson, no mothers name is recorded.
However in the transcript I have of Bridlington Priory marriages I have found possible marriages for Christopher and also for Alice. If you would like this information, please let me know and I will post the details.
Best Wishes

Thankyou gjl,
You are a God sent, and a blessing.
The info looks like a good match and I will certainly look into your research.
May God bless you and yours this Christmastide.
They say their is more joy in giving than receiving, but it`s certaimly bloody good to be on the receiving end of family history.

You are most welcome. I have taken a look at Bridlington Priory Baptisms and these could possibly be baptism records for Christopher's children.

20th September 1799
Baptism of Susanna daughter of Chr. Robinson and Eliz, his wife late Ringrose, Quay.
22nd July 1801
Baptism of John son of Christopher Robinson and Elizabeth, his wife, late Ringrose.
8th November 1802
Baptism of Richard son of Christopher Robinson and Elizabeth, his wife, late Ringrose.
Burials
26th November 1802
Burial of Richard son of Christopher Robinson, an infant.
28th November 1804
Burial of John son of Christopher Robinson , aged 3 years.
I will take a further look and see whether I can find any baptisms records which may relate to Alice's children.
I would also like to wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.
Best Wishes

Sue,
I have found one baptism for a daughter of William and Alice Thompson
28th May 1802
Baptism of Isabella daughter of Wm Thompson and Alice, his wife, late Robinson.
There are several earlier baptisms which could be their children but unfortunately only the fathers name is recorded not the mothers name, so I cannot be certain that they are William and Alice's children. I can post the details if you would like them.
Best Wishes

Dear cjl,
A special thanks, once again. You are a wealth of info.
In the IGI there are four children for Christoper & Elizabeth Robinson ; WILLIAM 1791, SUSANNAH 1799, JOHN 1801 & RICHARD 1802. Their must be others? So that all looks correct. Also in IGI daugther ISABELLA bpt 1802 for Willam as Alice Thompson. Any info you can send for my records will be great it may hit pay dirt later.
In the Priory records do they give any other details of occupation/trade or addresses/area etc.
Many years ago on an overseas trip we visited the George Robinson`s( bpt 26-2-1772, d 28-6-1852, Carnaby.) family home Carnaby Farm and the family graves. It was an extremely emotional experience. I felt like I had come home, found my roots in Yorkshire. George`s eldest daughter, Elizabeth Robinson ( bpt 13 Mar 1796, died 24-4-1857 Aust) eloped with the family coachman in 1816, James Stockdale ( bpt 4-12-1791, Kirkburn), daddy wasn`t impressed. James & Elizabeth Stockdale and family immigrated to Australia in 1840.
On the headland at Robyn Hood Bay is a statue to Capt James Cook, with the old Priory opposite. James Cook discovered and maped the coast line of Australia in 1770. My ancestors could have rubbed shoulders with the Cook family. I wonder if Thomas Robinson ( father of George) in his wildest dreams ever thought his descendants would live in that recently discovered land, down under? I can image how they would have dressed and looked because of the statue of Capt James Cook.

Sue,
Regarding the baptism records for the children of Christopher and Elizabeth Robinson. Unfortunately the parish registers do not contain any additional information such as abode or occupation.
There are no recorded baptisms for any further children of Christopher and Elizabeth Robinson.
If I can be of any further help, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very Best Wishes

Is anyone else out there researching John Robinson of Hilderthorpe near Burlington Yorkshire, Merchant & Ship owner who died in 1764 according to the Allan Papers ( 22 Boxes), solicitor & grandson Thomas Allan 1774-1845 who married in 1795 Esther Robinson (1763-1844, father Thomas Robinson 1725-1815)
Methodist Magazine 1819, page 738 & 1826, pages 289, 361
Thomas & William Robinson were lay ministers with the newly commenced Methodist Movement mentioned in the family Allan papers in the National Archives.
[13] The original of this letter was preserved by Thomas Robinson Allan, whose mother was a daughter of Thomas Robinson, with his note: 'A letter of Mr. Wesley's which I found among some papers which had belonged either to my grandfather Thomas or to his brother William Robinson.' Thomas died in February 1815; William on September 3, 1819, aged ninety-one. Their father was a merchant and shipowner at Bridlington, and had a farm at Helderthorp, a mile from Bridlington Quay, which Thomas, who had been a hardware merchant in Sheffield, afterwards occupied. William went to sea with their ships, but settled as a merchant in North Shields, and afterwards removed to Bridlington. See Methodist Magazine, 1819, p. 738; 1826, pp. 289, 361

Here with his brother Thomas he established a Methodist Chapel. William had no talent for preaching but was a Class Leader. He also attended the services at the Established Church.

John Robinson( died 1764) & his sons Thomas ( 1725-1815) & William (died 1819, 91 yrs) seem to have been involved in the early shipping history of Hull & Bridlington before Captain Cook ( 1728-1779)discovered Australia in 1770. Maybe they left Wills?

;D Hi Sue....sorry to butt into one of your other threads, but it appears to be your latest post. This is Robyne Ayres (nee Griffith), re the Griffiths/Bleakleys etc of Cavan and Longford and I have lost your email address and consequently lost touch with you and anyone else on this line, including Les Griffith. We had a computer crash and burn and then moved house in the last year. Would love to get back in touch with you.
Hope to year from you :)
Cheers, Robyne
