I think you've done an amazing job Laurina  :D Thanks so much. I'll get Dad to look at it all when he gets back.

Cheers!

(12 hrs later..) big family debate going on, phonecalls to grandma etc!!  ;D

Grandma (95 y/o) thinks that His wife's name was Sally and they had no kids. Aunt Sally had a sister, Hilda. And there was an Aunt Hannah but we don't know how she fits in!  :P

So unless one of her sisters happened to marry a Robinson we need to look further back - maybe to a sibling of Thomas b.1843 being a farmer.

Laurina

Dad thinks that's quite possible! The son of a brother of Thomas.

Thomas b.1843 his father was Thomas b.1814 and his mother was Sarah b.1817 ....I think.

So you're descended from Maud Robinson? - Did she have any brothers?

Laurina

Dad says not, just Ellen, Minnie, and Sarah.

BTW Ellen married John Jenkins, and their daughter Elsie married Harry Robinson, (supposedly unrelated), if that's of any interest.

Thomas Robinson b.1843 Leek appears to be a confectioner in 1881 - bit distant from farming.

Laurina

Yes we have his details, that's right he was a baker/confectioner. (Much beter than farming!!)

Yes, I agree it's a bit of a long shot, but Dad's pretty keen to find out. He's just handed me a photo of the guy with my Grandfather(dec.) and Grandmother (95y/o) next to him on a horse! (It was 1935 and they were 24 and 22 y/o). He looks around 40 (ish).

Hi I'm looking for someone my father knew as 'Uncle Arthur' Robinson. He lived in Leek, Staffordshire. My father knew him sometime around 1945. His wife's name was Sally. He was a farmer.

I'm trying to work out how he fitted in with our family. My G G Grandfather's name was Thomas Robinson, b. 1843, in Leek.

Any help would be wonderful  :D

(BTW I'm in Australia and my father migrated here in 1955)
