Hello Fellow Searchers,
In your research have you come across the surname ROBIN?
In search of Robin grave sites in Glasgow, Scotland and London, England.
After finding the wills of Robert and his brother George Robin I found reference to the purchase of a total of 5 lairs at the EASTERN NECROPOLIS and Janefield cemetery in Glasgow. Plus I have record that my grandfather purchased lairs A507-A540 at Cardonald Cemetery.
My grandfather was:
William ROBIN, Engineer/Automobile Mechanic (1874-1963) of Pollokshields, Glasgow. His stepfather was James Buchanan Gilkerson (birth circa 1845 in Ryegate, Vermont of Scottish parents).
His father was William ROBIN, Master Gunpowder Manufacturer (1848-1874) Robert Robin & Son.
His grandfather was Robert ROBIN, Wine & Spirit Merchant (1818-1877) Robin & Hutcheson, Robin & Houston Soaps & Candles.
Robert ROBIN had siblings by the names Peter x2, Walter x2, Robert, Matthew, William and George 1805-1888.
Son Granduncle Walter ROBIN, Leather & Hide Merchant retired and died in the city Bridge of Allan (1861-1936). Robert Robin's two sons and brother took a leisure boat trip on the Clyde and drowned in 1877.
Sometimes this really gets very confusing but fascinating!

My reason for searching is that I recently got in contact with my cousin who is looking for his father's burial site. My thinking was if we could find where our grandparents graves are we may find my uncle's resting place. Death certificates do not give any clues to burial.
Re:
British Merchant Seaman
Arthur John Robin*
R109897
DOB 20/03/1915
Born in Gorbals, Glasgow, Scotland
DOD 24/04/1953
Died at Greenwich Seaman's Hospital, Kent, England
Oh forgot to mention that a very dear person (retired British Merchant Navy Seaman) a good Samaritan in Glasgow found a Robin Lair at Cardonald Cemetery. My Aunt Hannah (1909-1932), two Uncles who died in infancy, John McIntyre second husband of my Grand-Aunt Catherine who resided in Dornoch are buried there.
Any other information or suggests would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
K
