The link I had as James Lovell Robinson was from another ancestry member but not referenced as far as I could see - he is probably linked though as it is an unusual name! The link to Elizabeth/Mary Lovell as James' wife is from family records which is why I am not sure as to her exact christian name. Perhaps James had another son Thomas who was also a Rev. I found that John Lovell Robinson b 1849 was born in Cork from the English Census Records but have not accessed the parish records. I am assuming that he is linked to James Robinson although this is a guess as the family following the marriage of Robinson and Lovell used it almost as a double surname, the Lovell is still carried down the male line today. It would be great to sort out the exact links though. I can confirm from my John Lovell Robinson (b1820) records that his father is James Robinson who was a naupeagus (ship wright or ship builder) according to his Trinity College Dublin entry. This also said John was from Bandon, Cork but I have not accessed the parish record for b about 1820. He had 9 children in total 5 girls - Selina, Mary, Adelaide, Alberta and Norah and 4 boys - John, Algernon, Henry and Herbert. I have previously had contact with the Church of Ireland through The Representative Church Body Library at Braemor Park Churchtown Dublin 14 353 1 492 3979 email [email protected] who have biographies of clergy that give birth dates, parents, marriage details in addition to their clerical history. This would be worth trying in order to confirm exactly where John Lovell Robinson 1849 was born and also Rev Thomas Robinson's birth date and place and parents. If you find any information regarding this, I would be most apprecitative of it. I have further details on John Lovell Robinson's (b 1820) children if you are interested. There is also in the English 1871 census a Thomas Lovell Robinson b abt 1845 who is listed with his mother Charlotte. Thomas was born in Potters Perry, Northamptonshire. Where he fits in I'm not sure but must be somewhere. At the moment I have him as one of James Lovell Robinson's sons.
