Robinson

[Milliepede]

There shows a Lillian as a boarder

When was she born - might she be his mother?

[Milliepede]

A family tree with a photograph has him as Harold Robert aka Harry

[CaroleW]

You need to ensure that all info from the 1921 census is given

Is this the same Thomas & Elizabeth in 1911 as you found in 1921

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:276X-VQQ

If not - you say the 1921 shows his parents as Thomas & Elizabeth so when & where were each born?

Does it show him as Harry & is his birthplace shown as Ontario/Toronto or elsewhere

How old is he?

His marriage cert says his parents were John & Lilian Hussey/Hussy??

The older Lilian - when & where was she born?  Is her surname also Hussy/Hussey

[Chalonad]

The family tree that shows him as Harry Robert Hussey is the one I started, the middle name is incorrect. For some reason I thought my mom told me his middle name was Robert but she did not.

I have to correct that.

The boarder in the 1921 census is 21 at the time and Harold is 3, so the ages are right for it to be his mother but Lillian’s last name says brown.

The census from 1911 you found is not the same person I think.

The marriage certificate does not have a last name for his parents

Thanks guys!

[Chalonad]

Actually, O just looked at the marriage record again and it does say Hussy as the last name of his parents

[CaroleW]

It would have been helpful to have had the 1921 details at the outset.   So "parents" on the 1921 were Robinson not Hussey & Lilian was Brown - not Robinson or Hussey?

How have you linked that census entry to Harry Hussey?

Have you looked for a Harold M Robinson marriage to "Elizabeth" in Canada to establish her maiden name

[Chalonad]

The only way I linked that census was because of the age and place.

My family is 100% sure that he grew up a Robinson and that’s how I’ve come to the conclusion that that is possible the correct census but I could be wrong


And I’ve looked for the marriage to establish her middle name with no luck

[Chalonad]

Ok so I did find the marriage certificate before, the one I think is right.

Here is the info showing craven as maiden name

Name   Harold Marsh Robinson
Age   22
Birth Date   abt 1891
Birth Place   Walsak Staffordshire England
[Walsall, Staffordshire, England]
Marriage Date   20 Aug 1913
Marriage Place   York, Ontario, Canada
Father   
Wm Robinson
Mother   
Hanna Elizabeth Marsh Robinson
Spouse   
Elizabeth Gladys Caven


So it’s entirely possible that the 1921 census is not correct it’s just the closest info I could find

Just want to add that the Lilian Brown who is showing with the Robinson family in 1921, I think is likely Elizabeth Glady's sister. Lillian Rose Caven married Thomas Archibald Brown in 1920 in Toronto. This is the 1901 census entry for the Caven family which includes both Elizabeth and Lilian in the entry www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KHGX-WV4

Same parents showing on both marriage registrations for the Caven girls.
