Christine

I checked my birth records that I have they don't start until 1864, I also checked Emerald Ancestors they don't have a Samuel for the year you are looking at.

I have some gravestone records for Larne

St Cedma's

Samuel Robinson 1784 (could be connected to my Raloo Robinson family) the gravestones have some things in common

James Robinson of Ballyboley d. 1827 a. 74

Robert Robinson son of William d. 1835 a 23, also mentioned Thomas Robinson

Hugh Robinson d. 1878 and son John 1907 and son David d. 1908

Thomas Robinson Ballynerry, Ballynure d 1886 a 84

Also have a look at PRONI (Public records office of Northern Ireland) you can do a will calendar search and ECatalog search

McGarel Cemetry has some Robinson's they are later dates than you are looking for, I can provide if you need them.

Hi, Christine,

Welcome aboard.  As Helena said, there are many Samuels.  There is a rumor in my family, though, that one of my grandfather's relatives had emigrated to Australia while he and another brother went to the U.S.  Was your Robinson ancestor Presbyterian?

Hello Helena
Thank you for your response...
Our Samuel Robinson...all we know is that he was born in Larne - Antrim around 1859 ...I've trawled through all the records on the LDS family search web site and there is only one record confirming the year of marriage in Australia as 1898 to Florence Edith Craven (born Sydney in 1876) their children were born in West Australia at various places..so perhaps he was a labourer...theres no mention of either of their parents  but their kids where Florence Winnifred 1899, Edith 1901, Arthur James 1903, Samuel 1905, Alfred Henry 1909 (our G grandfather) and Frederick 1918?
According to these dates Samuel Snr would have been 40 at his marriage and 58 when the youngest child was born...I cannot find an online death record of him in WA... but he must have died after 1918 and roughly before  1940's...I suspect he may even have been married in Antrim perhaps to a first wife.....I think I may have to visit the library's and records office though I've only tried the online resources so far....Do any of the names ring a bell...I tried most of them to see if perhaps Samuel senior had any brothers or sister named as such around his birth date lots of result but nothing conclusive to link them to a Samuel....we dont actually  have any documents at all for him - only the online records...... Anyway Thanks for your help Helena and I will keep checking and post another message again soon...
Kind Regards Christine Casey Robinson 
PS.
Its actually my hubbie's father Alfred Raymond Robinson born here in Fremantle WA in the 30's who is the only son of Alfred Henry Robinson and i'm doing all the research on the family ....so Ray never knew his grandfather I dont think...

My father in law Alfred Raymond Robinson born here in Fremantla Western Australia in the 30's - also had a sister Norma their father and Mother split when they were little - mum took Norma and Dad took Alfred Raymond...so he doesn't know much about his mother ...let alone his grandparents.....His mother was Margaret Grace Rhoades....so there is a huge chunk missing from the family tree...Ive also considered perhaps his Aussie wife may have come from an Irish immigrant family ....but I haven't even found any record of her or her parent parents yet....only looked online so far.....Do you have any ideas
Kind Regards ...Christine Casey Robinson

Hi Christine

I don't have any of those names in my Robinson family, not able to help.

These records may have a link to you they are a later date, I looked for names in your family and found these.

22 Sep 1876 – Ballyalbanagh, Ballycorr
Samuel ROBINSON – Arthur Robinson & Jane Graham – farmer

20 Dec 1900, Old Church - not sure where this is
James ROBINSON, son of Arthur Robinson & Rose Black – miner

14 Sep 1911, High Street
Frederick Maxwell ROBINSON, son of Arthur Robinson & Doreatha Kennedy – army pension

1885 2nd qtr there was a birth of a Frederick William Lennon Robinson no further info on him

28 Jun 1864 – Burleigh Hill
Edith ROBINSON – John Robinson & Louisa Victoria Stewart – gentleman – Burleigh Hill

A Arthur Thomas Robinson married in 1880 no further details

There are a couple of them in your timeframe and the 1876 Arthur father of Samuel is within the right timeframe to be a brother of your Samuel, if he is then your best option here I think is maybe Pablo, the Ballyalbanagh, Ballycorr area has connections to him
