Hi there Karen, my ancestor's siblings were left as children at the Benevolent Asylum in Sydney. They were also a Newcastle family, so I don't think it is unlikely that your ancestor would have wound up there even if she was from Maitland. I believe the records of the Asylum are at the Mitchell library in Sydney. I think you have to pay a donation of around $30 and gain a letter of permission to access these, and many were destroyed. There is a book about the Benevolent Asylum, and it has a picture of the building dating from around 1901. This was also at the Mitchell library. (By the way, records detailing the foster arrangements for my family (HALPIN) were on Microfiche at the Western Sydney Archives, and this is what tipped me off for the Benevloent Asylum connection. I am sure that this is the place you are after. Now re: West Wallsend Cemetery Taken from Newcastle Family History Society Inc (1993). Gravestone inscriptions in the lower Hunter Valley New South Wales Volume One: West Wallsend Cemetery. ROBINSON burials: Section / Row / Plot / Name / Born / Died / Age 3 / N / 13-14 / Edward ROBINSON / - / 12.6.1936 / 68 2 / M / 16-17 / Evelyn May ROBINSON / - / 3.6.1981 / 73 3 / N / 13-14 / Hannah ROBINSON / - / 21.9.1928 / 55 (remarks: "from the grandchildren"). 2 / M / 16-17 / William Charlton ROBINSON / - / 6.10.1980 / 75 3 / U / 30 / William Edward ROBINSON / - / 17.1.1955 / 23 (remarks: "our son and brother") I have looked at both the alphabetical and section by row portions of the book, and I don't think any other people are buried in the same plots (e.g., children with different surnames etc). I would also like to point out that some of my relatives I know are buried at West Wallsend (e.g., from death certificates) are not listed in this source, which I suspect is compiled mainly from headstone information. Therefore, don't discount the possibility of there being more Robinsons buried there without a tombstone. The book also has a map of the cemetery - you could get a copy from the Newcastle Family History Society, or perhaps from the Newcastle Regional Library.
