    1. ROBINSON Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Irene ROBINSON which was taken at the Sunbeam Studio in Los Angeles, California. The photograph is dated 21 Sept 1898 and notes that Irene is 2 years old at the time. Thanks to the help of a ROBINSON Family researcher I believe that this may be a photograph of Irene ROBINSON daughter of Henry J. & May E. ROBINSON. The family was included in the 1900 census of Los Angeles as follows: Henry J. ROBINSON, born June 1870, age 29, married 7 years, born MN, parents born England, a Butcher May E. ROBINSON, wife, born Mar 1871, age 29, married 7 years, 2 children/2 living, born Germany, parents born Germany, to USA 1885 Irena ROBINSON, dau, born Sept 1896, age 3, born CA Ada ROBINSON, dau, born July 1899 age 10 months, born CA Swan ENNISON, boarder, born Feb 1869, age 31, born Sweden, to USA 1890, a Butcher Dona SEANDANAKER, sister-in-law, born July 1864, age 35, born Germany, to USA 1885 In 1910 the family remained in Los Angeles with census records providing the following information: Henry J. ROBINSON, age 38, married 16 years, born MN, parents born England, Proprietor of Meat Market Mary Alman ROBINSON, wife, age 29, married 16 years, 2 children/2 living, born Germany, parents born Germany, to USA 1885 Dora SUNDMAKER, sister-in-law, age 45, born Germany, parents born Germany, Housework, to USA 1885 Irene E. ROBINSON, dau, age 13, born CA Ida M. ROBINSON, dau, age 10, born CA Ernest A. SCHAUTZ, boarder, age 22, born MN, parents born Germany, a Meat Market Cutter Then in 1920 the census records the family still living in Los Angeles as follows: Henry J. ROBINSON, age 48, born MN, parents born England, a Motor Man on Street Car May A. ROBINSON, wife, age 48, born Germany, parents born Germany Irene D. ROBINSON, dau, age 22, born CA, an Office Stenographer Ida M. ROBINSON, dau, age 19, born CA, an Office Stenographer Finally in 1930 the census records for Los Angeles include the family as follows: Henry J. ROBINSON, born MN, a Restaurant Manager May A. ROBINSON, wife, born CA Irene D. ROBINSON, dau, born CA I believe that Henry J. ROBINSON's family was also included in the 1880 census of Los Angeles as follows: Thomas ROBINSON, age 37, a Blacksmith, born England, parents born England Mary A. ROBINSON, wife, age 36, Keeping House, born England, parents born England Henry ROBINSON, son, age 9, born MN Benjamin ROBINSON, son, age 7, born MO Thomas ROBINSON, son, age 5, born CA Matilda ROBINSON, dau, age 5 months, born CA Irene ROBINSON married Everett Earle REWICK (b. 10 Nov 1889 in Carleton, NE, died 25 Mar 1977 in Long Beach, CA) ON 2 Dec 1967 in Long Beach, CA. Irene Dorothy ROBINSON died 1 Feb 1980 in Long Beach, CA with her death certificate listing her Mother's maiden name as SUNDMAKER. I'm hoping to locate someone from this ROBINSON Family so that this precious old photograph can be returned to the care of Irene's family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
