They are Dorothy Elizabeth Robinson born Ilkley, Yorkshire 22 September 1887, Walter Francis Robinson born Ilkley 2 February 1892 and Stella Mary Robinson born Ilkley 11 October 1898. Walter is believed to have jumped ship in New York and settled in USA. Stella married Reuben Hodgson and lived in Orpington, Kent.
I have a Walter John Robinson who was born 1857 in Georgia, to mother Sarah Calhoun Robinson and unknown named father. We always thought the father was also Walter, but it seems now the closest records I can find show a Sarah born in 1830 in GA and husband William C with daughter Mary. The years seem right but names are as yet unproven. Our Robinson father was probably a doctor or pharmacist of some kind, and was said to be from England or Ireland, and had friends named the Dulaneys also from England/Ireland or at least on the boat coming over. There are also several Walter Robinsons (not mine) including one who is a banker/planter in GA who moves to Florida and has a son named Walter Robinson. If you feel either of these may be close, email me for more info and I will try to point you in the right direction. Thats about as close as I can get to helping you out! -Diane ----- Original Message ----- From: <bevleach@hotmail.com> To: <ROBINSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2006 6:09 AM Subject: [ROBINSON] Robinson Ilkley Yorkshire > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Robinson > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3cDBAIB/8006 > > Message Board Post: > > I am searching for information on the children of Walter Robinson born 28 > June 1861 in Ilkley and Christina Carter born about 1857 in Liverpool. > They are Dorothy Elizabeth Robinson born Ilkley, Yorkshire 22 September > 1887, Walter Francis Robinson born Ilkley 2 February 1892 and Stella Mary > Robinson born Ilkley 11 October 1898.
