robinson family

Astonian

gone but not forgotten
hi guys
today i met one of my younger brothers whom i have not seen in many years like the rest of the brothers i have not met with in many years than i would like to be honest i never really was brought up withthem
but i was asking him about my grand father and his bussiness
and he told me that he would go and help him out at park lane warehouse
i asked him if he new of a lady called mrs robinson,
and he said there wasd a lady called mrs robinson all he could remember was she had red hair and wore glasses, he was not very old at the time he said to me and i asked him again was there any christian name
he said he did not remember then i said do you know where she lived
he said it was up the top end of park where it used to bend and there was little terrace house there [ not many of them ] more or less
facing potters hill where the rd used to bend abit
so i was wondering whether or not if any-body could possible do a cencus check for a robinson famiy i asked if she had a husband
he said he thinks she had a partner not being married
so iam presuming these would have been the low numbers of park lane
i would dearly love to find out more about her and her family
should there be any sibbling around today i would love them to get in touch but as its been a very long time i dont surpose there will be any sibbling so thats why i am asking for some-one for there valuable time on this as its going to be part of the book and i want to put her proper
name as she was his rock of companionship for many years
i would love to know howthey met
i do beleive grand fathere was well known around aston
and he would have frequented the local pubs of aston as he liked is half a bitter and is cheese goeganola sandwich with is half pint
and i am wondering whether or not was it over a pint many many years before or eeven was it parliment st or even on the trams as when he was young he first started to be a tram driver at a early age at miller st aston
so if anybody could spare a moment of there valuable time for a cenus check on park lane for the robinsons possible lower end of numbers would be truly grateful for any such name and housold members if there was
once again i sincerely thank you all
best wishes astonian;;;
 
Hi Astonian,

You don't give any details of what dates this period relates too?
I have a Robinson lady who was common law wife to some-one in my family in the aston area....so if you give me a time period, I may be able to help!
