Thomas & William Robinson were lay ministers with the newly commenced Methodist Movement mentioned in the family Allan papers in the National Archives.
[13] The original of this letter was preserved by Thomas Robinson Allan, whose mother was a daughter of Thomas Robinson, with his note: 'A letter of Mr. Wesley's which I found among some papers which had belonged either to my grandfather Thomas or to his brother William Robinson.' Thomas died in February 1815; William on September 3, 1819, aged ninety-one. Their father was a merchant and shipowner at Bridlington, and had a farm at Helderthorp, a mile from Bridlington Quay, which Thomas, who had been a hardware merchant in Sheffield, afterwards occupied. William went to sea with their ships, but settled as a merchant in North Shields, and afterwards removed to Bridlington. See Methodist Magazine, 1819, p. 738; 1826, pp. 289, 361

John Robinson( died 1764) & his sons Thomas ( 1725-1815) & William (died 1819, 91 yrs) seem to have been involved in the early shipping history of Hull & Bridlington before Captain Cook ( 1728-1779)discovered Australia in 1770. Maybe they left Wills?
