Robson in Lowestoft
« on: Monday 24 May 10 16:36 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any connections with the name Robson in Lowestoft?  I have a William Robson who married in Lewisham, Kent, in 1803 but the record states he came from Lowestoft.  He was born about 1775-1780.  Can anyone shed any light on this?  And why did he travel from Suffolk to London?  He became a waterman on the Thames, so I imagine he was a sailor or similar.  Many thanks.
