Researching Robinson Family

[five5mango]

Hello,

I am researching the Robinson family (Sussex/Surrey/Middlesex) and related families (Cane, Burgess, Bates, Jennings, Swinnerton). I live in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Hello Jeff and welcome to Brit-Gen

Have a good look round and perhaps post your questions on the Sussex, Surrey or Middlesex forums. I am sure that the members will try to help you track down your elusive ancestors.

Enjoy the forum!

Hello Jeff
My great grandfather was Ernest William Robinson born 1877 in Brighton Sussex and died in 1954 in Hanworth, Middlesex.
His parents were Edward Victor Robinson and Eliza Penfold (Kinch).
His grandparents were Benjamin Robinson c 1821 - 1851 married to Lucy (Streeter).
His great grandparents were Samuel Robinson c 1786-1844 and Sophia (Cheale).
All from Sussex.
Do any of these names match your Robinsons?

Judith,

Sorry, none of the names match. I have traced back to my 4th great-grandfather William Robinson (d. 1822 West Grinstead.) The parish record states he was from Wiston. His second son, James, was my ancestor, but I do not know the names of any other children or the maiden name of his wife, Elizabeth. A plaque on a church in Egham where James is buried, states "James Robinson, second son of the late William Robinson of West Grinstead."

Thanks,
Jeff (Honolulu, Hawaii)

Henry 1817
Philadelphia 1821

All born in Sussex. I know of someone else researching the family and they are looking for a Humphry - do you know of him?

Hello Judith - I guess we are related! :-) - My great grandfather was Spencer Harry Robinson 1882 - Ernest William Robinson's youngest (?) brother.
This is my first hour on this site so am very happy to have spotted this thread - particularly your post below which will expand my tree :-)
Jeff , I hope you had some luck since you posted this!

Hi Jeff. My ancestor Robert Cane lived in Middlesex and came to South Africa in 1858. see my family tree on Ancestry.com He was born in about 1837. He was a stone mason. He died in Cape Town, South Africa in 1919. I am keen to get details of his birth, his siblings and his parents. Kind regards. Colin Cane [email protected]
