Hello, Just cleaning out some old emails and re-read this one. I am wondering whether anybody has gathered a list of the "Peter Robinson" settlers? I have a Mary Jane Robinson married to a William Broley (both from Ireland) - which is a dead end to me. They emigrated in 1835 with at least one child : the two-year-old Samuel Broley who married a Martha Maley or Melia in 1855. By some odd coincidence, I just found a book called Settlers publ. mcml which has three brief mentions of Peter Robinson. Any help would be gretly appreciated! Richard.

I googled "peter robinson settlers" and there were many hits, among them at least one listing the passengers on each of the ships, including: http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/passengerlists/peterrobinsonindex.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Rozon" <rjprozon@videotron.ca> To: <can-ont-simcoe@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 23, 2010 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] Robert Bailey and his wife Anne Bailey > Hello, > > Just cleaning out some old emails and re-read this one. > > I am wondering whether anybody has gathered a list of the "Peter > Robinson" settlers?
