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.

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.

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.

I think this family could well be the connection . . . James looks as though he is your Thomas's elder brother!

1881 Census - RG11/2738/130/45

James Robinson 47 Quarnford, Staffs - Farmer
Hannah 45
Sarah J 17
Rachel 15
Thomas 11 - as in 1901 census above
Mary 9
Hannah 7
John J 5

Everyone else born Leek

Laurina

But I have to pop out so will fill you in later.

You're obviously hopeful, but with so little info you'll be very lucky to find the link . . .You really need to start with Thomas Robinson b.1843 and work forwards - but it's a longshot

If you look at the 1911 census you have a choice of 7 Arthur's in Leek alone!

Here's a farming family in 1901 - the logic being the family name 'Thomas' - possibly Arthur wasn't even born by 1901?

1901 RG13/2625/32/11 - Mixon Hay, Onecote, Leek, Staffs
Thomas Robinson 30 - Head - Farmer - Leek
Jane 25 - Wife - Leek
Clara 4 - Daug - Bradnop
Thomas 2 Son - Bradnop

Laurina

My money is on this family having another son Arthur after 1901!
