Robinson

[MonicaL]

The original image of 1931 for the Robinson family also includes Hannah Caven, mother to Elizabeth.

One odd thing is that Harold and Elizabeth apparently a daughter Margaret born in 1923. No record of her in the 1931 census entry, only sons Harold,13 and Walter, 4, show then.

www.findagrave.com/memorial/144734428/margaret-h-brangham  Only sons Harold,13 and Walter, 4, show in that entry.

I am not sure about this Robinson family and how it connects to Harry Hussey. Is there no more within the family stories that suggest a link that could help you? Do you know why the family belives that he was brought up as a Robinson? In many cases where a child is brought up by an adoptive family from so young, it is all they know and are happy to go by the adoptive family's surname. Why would he in later years have chosen to revert to Hussey I wonder.

I’m not sure why he would revert to hussy and then his children and my mom go by Hussey.

We just found a bible my mom had that was passed down and it says “presented to Beatrice Hussey by grandmother Christmas 1955”

and there’s a section that says Deaths
And lists these

-mom Bell July 9 ‘75
- GFO (hard to read maybe say GEO?) bell Dec 14 ‘59
GPA lougheed March 45 ‘29
GMA Lougheed April ‘12
GMA ROBINSON June ‘12
Bob Case sept 25 ‘59

Ok so his wife was lougheed and his daughter is Beatrice hussey

We don’t know where Bell comes from or who Bob case is

And I just talked to my grandma now and she is certain Harold’s mom was his aunt who he was raised by were sisters.

So his aunt would be a hussey who married a Robinson. So maybe that census we are going by is completely wrong.

Like I said I’ve been researching this forever and it just gets confusing and dead ends lol

Sorry meant to say my grandma is certain Harry’s mom and* his aunt were sisters

At marriage, were there witnesses names listed? Perhaps a Robinson?
Was an address given for Harry?
Are both his parents listed as "Hussy" (no maiden name for his mum?) - not unusual for this situation for his information to be a bit confused, as he may not have been told the full story.

"Hussey" might have come from his mum's side but could also be the name of his biological father.

Here is the link for the marriage cert, not sure if it will work

The witnesses were a Fred Ursday Jr and
Ida Bowles

Yes both listed as Hussy, no maiden name

[jorose]

No, I am not an Ancestry member so it won't work.
You are allowed to post parts of images for the purpose of deciphering writing (for example, Ursday doesn't seem to be a common name so this might be a mistranscription by Ancestry).

At any rate it's interesting that the witnesses don't seem to be obviously linked to either side of the family.

I think "Bob Case" mentioned in the family bible could be this man who married into Doris' family, or perhaps his son (so an uncle or cousin).

Just had a quick look at the marriage certificate and I think the witness was Fred WISDOM Jnr.

Yes Bob case married into the family I just found out

And you’re right it looks like it could be Fred wisdom jr

Do you know who wrote these entries? Harry or one of his children?

-mom Bell July 9 ‘75....is this a reference to Harry's mum?

GMA ROBINSON June ‘12...this reads as if it is a ref to (adoptive family) grandmother to Harry given the year of 1912 and Harry being born in 1918?

Are there any other biographical details in this family bible? Births or marriage dates that could help further?
