Robinson family

hamesie · 29-06-2013, 09:01

Hi all,

Researching the Robinson family. Looking for information on John Edward Robinson that lived at 68 Dowry Street, Accrington. He was born in 1910 in Blackburn and passed away in 1988. He was a retired labourer. Don't know if he was married or had any children.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Don't recall him Hamsie, I lived 5 doors away at 58, until around 1971, still see odd people around so will ask, may take awhile.

If he had children they certainly wasn't around in the years i was yon.

He isn't listed at 68 in 1951. Chweck the website Lancashire BMD (births, marriages, deaths

Too many John Edward Robinsons without any more info hamesie, as is you will have to hope cashman can find someone who knew him personally.

I was speaking to Frank Burrell who used to live at 70 Dowry St. He can't bring to mind anyone called Robinson living next door .

I met Frank Burrell a few months ago, not having seen him for over 50yrs. As a youngster, ( Franks is 2-3yrs older than me) we played football and cricket on t'top ( Arnold St) and in St John's school yard for many hours. Give him my best, JCB.

Hi all,

Thanks for your help. I have since found out that he married a lady named Thelma Place in Sept 1944 in Haslingden.

Cheers

Haslingden is the registration district which includes Accrington [Hyndburn] so not necessarily married in Haslinden. Your best bet is to go to Accrington library and check the weddings for July-Sept 1944, should be some info there. I did find a death for a Thelma Robinson in Fleetwood 1979 but couldn't find any children at all.

Here they are on Lancs BMD - married at Hyndburn Register Office.
