Robinson

I would like to contact any Robinson family from  the Westhampnett, Maudlin, Chichester area. My Grand mothers family name was Robinson from that area.

Hi

As there were quite a lot of Robinsons in Sussex - it may be best if you include some names and details of which particular family you are connected to. 

This will enable anybody reading your post to establish if there is a connection

Please do not include the names of any living person

I don't know any Robinsons in the areas I listed. All I know is that my grand mothers name was Robinson and that I recall that she often mentioned Westhampnett. I have looked around the burial ground there and seen a few headstones with Robinson on them.

But you have no idea whether there is any connection?  Robinson is a very common surname and from the info you have given - it would be impossible to make any connection

It's best to start with what you know - your grandmothers name - and then work backwards

Was Robinson her married name or her maiden name?  If her married name - what was her maiden name?

What was her christian name and when and where was she born?

What was your grandfathers name and when did they marry
