Is it James who you think might be Robinson?

Yes. See the fourth post here -  https://www.angloboerwar.com/forum/13-miscellany/32068-4124-private-james-e-company-2nd-battalion-black-watch

In that WW1 file, there are records which indicate he can’t be found in BW.
What was his occupation on his marriage?

Added
FindMyPast has a J Robinson 1899-1902 record but no other detail in the index.

No information on James, but Augustus was a grocer.

I’m not sure what you mean there but I meant James’ marriage. He is likely to be a labourer though.

I only see Augustus as a Postman in records.

One of the ABW Forum's experts came up with James's occupations - "When he joined up he was a Moulder. 1911 Has him working as a Dock Labourer, He married Emily Ward in 1903.
Edit....Marriage was in 1902 October, St Winifred's Manchester."

James Ginder deserted from the Royal Artillery on the 6th of April 1890, and enlisted with the Black Watch as J. Robinson just under two months later.

Yes, I saw James in 1911 and his marriage - hence the labourer.
That’s good that the mystery is solved for you. Thanks for the post.

My thanks to heywood and all who have responded and helped sort out the Ginder/Robinson poser.
