This is probably a lost cause but a cousin who lives in South Africa was trying to find information on her grandfather who was killed in WW1 his son was also killed in WW1 she has no other information other than the name was Robinson, they came from Rudheath in Northwich she only knew her grandmother as Granny Robinson and that she had a daughter Elsie. Regards Gill

Hi Gill, Just a thought but wouldn't it be easier if they looked for a wedding certificate for their parents or better still get the birth certificate of the person who is related to this grandfather. This record would show the grandparents names address and occupation. From this we can start to look at the forces death records or earlier census starting at 1901.

Try looking at the war memorials on Carlscam.com . There isn't one for Rudheath but he may appear on one for the surrounding parishes.

Gill The Northwich & District Heritage Society (www.northwich-heritage.org.uk) have a publication 'Northwich's WWI Roll of Honour' which lists 7 Robinsons 3 of whom have addresses which 'could' be considered as Rudheath. I left Northwich in 1971 so maybe someone else can help to clarify the addresses. Albert Robinson - Son of J T Robinson 91 Royle Street, Manchester Regiment died 21/01/1916 Age 20, Buried Chipily France, Dane Bridge Memorial Charles Edward Robinson - Son of Hannah Norman 141 Middlewich Road, Cheshire Regiment died 03/10/1915 Age 20 Buried Loos France, Davenham Memorial Frank Robinson Son of Thomas & Jane Robinson 7 Richard Street, Middlewich Road, Royal Berkshire Regiment died 28/09/1918 Age Unknown, Buried Vis-En-Artois, Davenham & Lostock Works Memorials The other 4 are: Charles Frederick Robinson- No Address details, Cheshire Regiment died 8/09/1916 Age Unknown, Buried St Sever France, Barnton & Winnington Works Memorials Joseph Robinson - Son of Joseph Robinson, Marston, South Wales Borderers, died 12/04/1915 Age 20,buried Aire France, Marston & Lostock Gralam Memorials Arnold Robinson - of Weaverham, Manchester Regiment, died 1/07/1916 Age Unknown, buried Dantzig, France, Winnington Works Memorials Herbert Robinson -No Address details, East Yorks Regiment, died 12/04/1918 Age Unknown, buried Ploegsteert, Belgium, Winnington Works Memorials As Mike Morris & Bob Kirk have suggested there are a number of other areas to investigate. All the above place-names are in the Northwich area as are the memorials, further details of which can be found on Carlscam - www.carlscam.com Google Maps may help with addresses. The Commonwealth War Graves - www.cwgc.org also has these details.
