Herts Completed Lookup Requests / Re: John Robinson
« on: Sunday 16 March 14 00:33 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you Mr Garrard for your information.  It looks more unlikely that I shall ever find out the parents of John Robinson and his wife Sarah Hackice.

Kind regards

Herts Completed Lookup Requests / Re: John Robinson

My apologies.  I realize that you already know its St., Marys, Islington.

John Robinson was born in January 1789, I believe but where is the mystery at this stage.

He was also buried in 1831 at St. Marys, Chehsunt.

Thank you for your reply.  The Church where John Robinson and Sarah Hackice were married was St. Marys, Islington, North London.

I found out yesterday that I couldn't get any birth certificates for this couple because of the date prior to 1837 but I am considering looking for a death certificate for Sarah, my ggg grandmother although she re-married after John Robinson died and I doubt whether I will learn anything about her marriage to John and her maiden name since her name became Tarry after her 2nd marriage.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Herts Completed Lookup Requests / John Robinson
« on: Saturday 15 March 14 03:06 GMT (UK)  »
My ggg grandfather was John Robinson born in 1789 and died in 1831 in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.  He married Sarah in Islington, London in 1811.  I am trying to find parents of both.  Does anyone know how I can do this despite trying just about everything possible.  Because I don't know where either were born I can't get a birth certificate.  Any ideas please?

If you are still developing your database of Shoemakers from the 19th Century, may I please add my ggg grandfather John Robinson who was a Shoemaker in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.  He was born in 1789 and died in Cheshunt in 1831.  I have no idea where he was born and even who his parents were.  He married Sarah Hackice in 1811 in London and on the Church marriage record, it says they were both residents of Lambeth.   I know there was a huge family of Robinsons living at that time in Cheshunt and they were mainly Coach Builders, so whether my John Robinson was related to them is the question that is difficult to solve.

Kind regards

Hertfordshire / Re: Robinson Family of Cheshunt
« on: Friday 27 January 12 12:50 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for your message.  I am not sure whether the Robinsons are all related.  I am in touch with descendants of the Robinsons that went to New Zealand and have much information and a book written by George Coleman Robinson who lived in Melbourne, Victoria..  My ancestor was John Robinson of Cheshunt, a Shoe maker.  He was born in 1791, married to Sarah and he died in 1841.   I am still working on this Robinson family.
I live in Australia actually and so any research I do in Cheshunt, is unfortunately, long distance.

Thank you again
Best wishes

Thank you Louisa but its not my ggrandfather either.  I feel I have exhausted all possibilities.  In Australia we have our census on the night of this August 9th.  Its every five years here.  And I realise how easy it is to be found missing.  A Census Man came to the door asked how many persons will be here on the census night and left us forms.  So we could have several illegal immigrants here and no one would know.  A census is also only as good as the census taker and that's why it is sometimes so difficult to read what has been written.
Thank you so much for your interest in my dilemma

Hi Louisa
My great grandfather was an unpleasant character according to my Mother.  He married Eliza Hill (born 1847) in 1867.  They had six children, James John 1868.  Eliza 1871 she married William (Billy) Hunwick in 1897. Thomas 1874.  Charles 1877 he married Sarah Roberts in 1905 (my grandparents). Phoebe 1881 she married Walter Edmund Prodrick in 1907 and William 1884.     
James, Eliza and children appear on census 1871 and 1881.  Eliza and remaining unmarried children appear on census 1891, 1901.  She is said to be the Head but also married.   James Warner 1844 doesn't appear anywhere on any census after 1881.  My mother told me her grandfather was killed by a tram but after much research no information exists for this accident.  I found that he probably died in 1914 in Hackney, Middlx. 
I am hoping that when the census for 1911 comes on line I might find this man but I am not hopeful as I think he avoided the various census for reasons we might never discover.
Best wishes

Hi Sandy
Thank you for your help as always.
This Warner family lived at Essex Street, Haggeston, Middlesex.  Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, St. Luke's all the same area it seems.  Its strange because in 1871 James Warner was a Newsagent.  In 1874 a Telegraph Clerk, not the Telegraph Newspaper I feel but a Telegraph Operator.  Census for 1881 a General Dealer.  Then his name is entered on Marriage Certificates for various children but I suspect not present, as a Stationer on one, a Commercial Traveller on another and on another a Commission Agent.  Probably, like to-day, good to have an occupation no matter what it entails.   Just wish I could find him in 1891, 1901 and with 1911 census becoming available soon, maybe I shall strike lucky in 1911.
Thank you again
Best wishes
Diana
