I have this family of ROBINSONs who disappear after 1881.
Mary Ann Robinson (nee Gibson) was my gg grandmother's sister.
Mary Ann GIBSON (born Barnsley, YKS c1835) married William ROBINSON (b Oldham, LAN c 1830) in 1855. Mary Ann's father James Gibson was the Waterworks manager for Barnsley Waterworks. William Robinson seems to have filled his job when James died in 1862.
I have them on the 1861, 1871 and 1881 censuses all in Barnsley.
I have all their birth GRO index references.
I also have a Chancery document naming them all (except the youngest) dated 1866 – it was about Mary Ann's father's will.
Here they are in 1881
William Robinson; 51; waterworks engineer; Oldham, LAN
Mary Ann Robinson; 45; wife; Barnsley, YKS
Charles Gibson Robinson; 19; assists father; Barnsley
William Wild Robinson; 15; Barnsley
George Henry Robinson; 9; Barnsley
(an oldest child, James Samuel Robinson born in 1856, Lenton, NTT is on the 1861 and 1871 censuses)
This is the last I can find for them!! They all vanish and I can only assume they must have emigrated or changed their name.
Anyone able to find them after 1881, please?
