Sorry Emily, amend again, see previous post

Annie, I have no idea what the "Hullah" means, I can't find an entry.

I assumed it was a partner or something - 

Thought maybe useful later on-  you never know...........

Hmmmmmmmm the Hullah may have nothing to do with it but here's what I'm finding

Hodgson James, biscuit baker, see Hullah, Robertson & Co.
Hullah, Robertson & Hodgson, Biscuit Bakers & Importers of Irish provisions, Jamaica coffee house, and 97 Wapping


Jamaica? reminiscent of Barbados? and imports of coffee?

You and me both, while searching for those addresses in Toxteth I very nearly drove into the Cains Brewery site - see my list of names - but somebody called Nall Cain left Liverpool once upon a time and went to Welwyn ...... The 3rd Baron Brocket, Sir Charles Ronald George Nall-Cain Bt (as in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here) of Brocket Hall in Welwyn ......... where is Welwyn? but of course its only half a mile from Codicote where my Cains come from, spitting distance really! but can I get a connection? huh!

Just on the off chance of any parents living with the family, can anybody tell me whether we have found John and Augusta J in 1871? the Robinsons in '61 do sound like them but has this been followed through?

Quote from Jonathan

1861 (might be a red herring) but ... (says Robinson on the page)

10 Mornington Road, Bromley, Middx (Poplar)

John Robinson 26 Limehouse, Middlesex, England Head 
Jane Robinson 27 Stepney, Middlesex, England Wife 
Geo Anglis?? Robinson 1 Bromley, Middlesex, England Son 
Augusta Robinson 2 Bromley, Middlesex, England Daughter 
Mary Marshal Robinson 17 Limehouse, Middlesex, England Sister-in-law 
Eliza Taylor 21 Hertford, Hertfordshire, England Servant 
Jane Buster 21 Stepney, Middlesex, England Servant 

John is a Sail Maker and Ships Chandler.

Mary Marshal Robinson it states is Single 

RG9/302
Folio:    194 
Page:    17 

The Augusta actually reads 2 months on the scan.

Guess what I've found and if you read the 1861 scan very closely you can make a Duglis of the  Anglis?

Births
Robertson, George Douglas 1859 September Poplar London Middlesex 1c 568?
