Hello Listers I've been checking information I have stored on various ROBINS Wills. When I was in Winchester in 1992, I took note of early ROBINS Wills as follows: 1544 Willmus ROBINS de Winton 1562 Georgius ROBINS de Portsmouth 1576 ffranciscus ROBINS de Portsmouth 1577 Rogerus ROBINS de Quit Winton (Book 1, Folio 128). I have traced my ROBINS line back to a Will of John ROBINS proved in 1672. His date of birth was possibly around 1610. He married firstly (name unknown) before about 1635 and had two sons, John and Thomas. I'm descended through the latter. He married secondly to Alice (surname unknown) - from her Will it is clear that she is not the mother of John's two sons. In John's Will signed 24 Apr 1671, he describes himself as 'Mariner of Gosport'. Thomas, in his Will signed 7 Apr 1697, describes himself as 'Shipwright of Gosport'. It is thought that Thomas married Ann (surname unknown) around 1658. I don't have the Wills for Willmus, Georgius., ffrancicus or Rogerus. I think I ran out of time back in Winchester. If anyone can point me in the right direction for any of these queries, I'd be grateful. I can't find Winton on Parish Locator. Many thanks.
