Hello Pam. I am wondering whether you received any further info about this query other than the two initial ones? My mother was a Robins. The family was orig from Stroud-areas but moved on to SK. I do not have any info on the persons you mentioned. Just wondering is all. Regards, Richard in Wedtmount-Montreal.

Richard, I did not receive any other emails on this particular Robins family so had to piece it together with excerpts from books and documents. This Robins family probably came from Ireland to Grey County then finally to Simcoe County, Hillsdale area, about 1880. Thanks for your interest, Pam
