    1. [NJHUNTER] ROBINS or ROBBINS Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Inez ROBINS which was taken at the Frank Z. Fritz Studio in Lambertville, New Jersey. The photograph indicates that Inez was 13 years old when the photograph was taken, likely sometime in the 1880's. In addition to her name and age, someone has written "school friend of Margaret FELL" on the front of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information: Inez Grinnell ROBBINS b. 8 Nov 1870 in Clinton, NJ to parents William Delaun ROBBINS (b, 8 Dec 1838 in Copenhagen, NY) and Amelia "Millie" MISNER (b. 1844). Inez married Herbert Latham FORDHAM (b. 23 Nov 1869 in Greenport, NY) on 21 Jun 1900. I do not believe that Inez and Herbert had any children. Census records provide the following information: 1880 census of Clinton, NJ: W. D. L. ROBBINS, age 41, a Teacher, born NY, parents born MA/NY Amelia M. ROBBINS, wife, age 36, Keeping House, born NY, parents born NY Inez G. ROBBINS, dau, age 9, born NJ + 1 servant + 1 boarder 1920 census of Greenport, NY: Herbert FORDHAM, age 50, born NY, parents born NY, a Lawyer Inez FORDHAM, wife, age 49, born NJ, parents born NY + a Maid I am hoping to locate someone from the family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
