Robinson family - NETHERLANDS

Could be marriage

There's a James Robinson death in Rotterdam in 1856. Age 70, born Whitehaven. Could it be Charles' father ? Father Charles, spouse/partner Anna Mitchell

ShaunJ and fiddlerslass, a belated huge thank you! It's certainly been interesting putting this family together. I never could have done it without your help.

I'm not sure about the James Robinson who died in 1856 in Rotterdam being Charles's father. It seems likely but the Netherlands site threw up a lot of Robinsons in Rotterdam. Still some work for me to do here.

Thanks for finding this document, TreeSpirit, it's good to have the relationship confirmed.

leen, many thanks for finding Charles Robinson in Antwerp. I hadn't even considered another location. I had been wondering what he was doing in the Netherlands - now I know.

I'm finding these records difficult to understand at times but I'm so glad they kept such good ones. Generally I can work out what the headings mean in most documents.

Wow, leen, this information is gold! It shows the name of Charles Robinson's first wife, Margaret Brockbank - when I had married him off to someone else! Disaster averted. Now I can go back and find the rest of their family born in England. Thanks so much!
