Renfrewshire / Re: port-glasgow old street names
« on: Wednesday 27 January 16 15:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hello I am descended from the Slater family who lived in Port Glasgow. I am fascinated about one relative who sadly was discovered drowned in the Clyde in 1873 near West Quay. She I believe worked at Gourocks Ropeworks and lived in Gillespies Lane. Does anyone have any old photos of Gillespies Lane. I also cannot find the death of her father Alexander Slater who worked for HM Customs. He was born in 1788 in Kilmalcolm and is not present on the 1841 census for Port Glasgow when his wife and children are. I am quite taken with Port Glasgow and long to visit. Would be good to hear from anyone else with information about the ropeworks or the customs job done by my GGGGG - Grandfather.  :D

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 lookup ROBINSON please

Hi Ruskie

Thanks for your replies. Like an idiot I completely forgot that I did find the 1911 census for them the other week. They are all living in Rugby Warwickshire and Edward has died so he must have died between 1901 and 1911. Edith married John Thomas Gilbert and had her first son John Edward Gilbert both in 1910.

Thomas Robinson 1822 married Elizabeth Lyon in 1847 in Colsterworth Lincs.

Edward Robinson 1858 married Elizabeth Roberts in 1887 Stretton on Fosse Warwickshire.

Thanks for getting in touch! :)

Hello

Dont know if you are all still here as this thread was 3 years ago but I too am descended from Thomas Robinson 1775 through his son Thomas 1822 his son Edward 1858 his daughter Edith born 1887. Edward was a Grocer/Draper in Helpringham and left for Derbyshire between 1891 and 1901. I cant find his death or any of the family on the 1911 census except eldest daughter Edith who had returned to Warwickshire where Edwards wife had come from. I guess Edward died before 1911 and his wife and children returned to Warwickshire. I think the wife died 1921 in Warwickshire. Anyway be good to hear from any of you long lost cousins! :)
