My interests are associated with the following summary of the life of Ann Robinson (nee INETT)... Ann Inett was born in Abberley in Worcestershire in 1754; she had two children (fathers unknown), Thomas in 1778 and Constance in 1781. Ann was sentenced to death at the Worcester Lent Assize in 1786 for "breaking and entering", a sentence which was later commuted to "7 years trasportation beyond the seas". She travelled on "The Lady Penrhyn" with the First Fleet to Botany Bay and Port Jackson in 1887/88. She with five other female convicts, nine male convicts and eight free men under the command of Lieutenant Philip Gidley King were then transported to Norfolk Island to establish a settlement on the island. Whilst on the island Ann had two children by Gidley King - Norfolk in 1789 and Sydney in 1790. Gidley King was then sent to England by Governor Phillip and whilst there married his cousin Anna Josepha Coombe. He returned to Norfolk Island with his wife in 1791 and was appointed the third Governor of New South Wales in 1800. Gidley King arranged that both the King-Inett boys to be educated in England and later they were both commissioned into the Navy; they were first Australian-born officers in the Service. Ann married Richard John Robinson in Parramatta in 1792 and over the next 27 years they made a good and respectable life for themselves in Sydney Town. Richard John Robinson returned to England in 1819 and Ann followed him arriving in the vessel "The Admiral Cockburn" off Gravesend on 24th June 1820. But here the trail goes completely cold. During her 33 years "over the seas", nothing at all seems to have been recorded about Thomas born 1778. Constance married William Guy in All Saints', Worcester, in 1809 and by the time of Ann Robinson's return to England in June 1820 had four children - Thomas 1812, William 1814, Emma 1816 and Amelia 1818. She was expecting a fifth child when Ann returned; this child was baptised Mary Ann Robinson Guy at St.Clements' in September 1820. A strong indicator that Ann Robinson was present at the baptism, but no proof. A further child Jemima Guy followed in 1822. On 15th March 1825 Lieutenant Sydney King (baptised Sydney King Inett in St.Philip's church, Sydney Town in 1790) married Mary Butler at St. John Bedwardine, Worcester under the name of Sydney Inett King - but no evidence has been found to show that he was re-united with his mother. His life is fully documented up to his death in 1841. Likewise his brother Norfolk's naval history is fully documented up to his death in London in 1839 But they nothing associated with the Guy family has been found after Jemima was baptised in 1822 and nothing has been found related to either Ann Robinson or Richard John Robinson after the arrival of the respective ships on which they travelled from NSW. What happened to Thomas? What happened to the Guy family? What happened to Ann Robinson (nee Inett) and Richard John Robinson? Can you help? Edward - kinsman of Ann Inett
