This is the website of the Robinson family currently centred on North Oxfordshire and formerly of East Molesey, Surrey and St Pancras in London. We are working on the genealogy for our near related families: Procter of Kirkburton and Calvert of Settle, Yorkshire, Jones of London, Swansea and Cwmllwydd (near Mallwyd, near Dinas Mawddwy) Wales. Other ancestral families include Furniss, Traylen, Chase, Farr, Durance and Page. We are also latterly related by marriage to Boland of Essex and to Walker of Windsor and Warickshire. If you have an interest in one of these families, an enquiry or information you wish to share, please email Colin. Why the workhouse? Because we live in what was formerly a village workhouse until about 1835; poignantly, Colin's great great grandfather Robinson died in such a place. For more information on workhouses generally, go to Peter Higginbotham's excellent site at www.workhouses.org.uk - note the extra 's'. |
Regrettably, we've decided that is it no longer wise to show photos of our grandchildren openly on the web. Family and close friends who want to see the latest just need to ask by email and we'll give other urls.
