Hi Gillian
You're welcome.
I've not forgotten the look ups at the record office. A few distractions but I should be going up early in the week. I'll let you know how I get on.
Good luck with the certificates.
Emms.

Hi Gillian
What a shame there was no more information! Even so, there are things we can look at.
I was going to look at the Primitive Methodists before, but there were no records earlier here. There may be some for this later family. I'll look at the Independent Chapel in Cockermouth too.
I haven't found Court Buildings yet, but I'm pretty sure they wsere mentioned when I was looking before. The chapel or the shop might have been in there. though I think I've mentioned everything about the shop. I'd forgotten though. It was a library book I was looking at, not my own, so I'll look again.
I'll see what else I find, and look in the will s again too.
I'm not sure when I'll be up again though.
Soon.
Best wishes
Emms.

Hi Gillian
Limited success with the Primitive Methodists I'm afraid. I suspect there should be more than there is. Maybe some went to the PRO or has been lost. Even so, I think your Robinsons have moved araound.
I only got to look at baptisms, but I did find just one daughter for Frederick:
1913
June 22nd/ born May 8th/ Mary Annie/ (daughter of) Frederick & Isabella / Robinson / River View, Cockermouth/ Joiner/ Joseph Burton.
Quite late. I wonder if they'd lived elsewhere first. We know though that they're still using the Primitive Methodist Chapel. May be I should try and pin them down in trade directories and electoral registers. If we get some dates I can have a look at some local papers too.
Good hunting! I'll go back when there's a bit more time.
Best wishes
Emms.

Hi Gillian
Well now I am confused! I'm only just getting back to real searching, as opposed to what I can lay my hands on here, after Christmas.
I came back to Roootschat tonight, and yours came up as a post since my last visit!
I've never seen this before. Maybe I missed an email, but I've been on a good few times since November!
Anyway, thank you the good kind person who finds and posts these problem mails!
It looks like this has taken an extra interesting turn!
I will take it away and have a think!!
Happy New Year!
Emms.

Hi Gillian
Just a quick glance with my supper! I'll have another look tomorrow at the old stuff.
Could he have been a joiner for the post office? The old shops have loads of wooden fittings. Joinery seemed to be on the Robinson co's list of services. Maybe he just wanted to spread his wings?
I'll see what I can find.
I think I looked at an odd electoral register, but it didn't seem too relevant then!
As far as the name goes, certainly, I've got some in my tree who swapped combinations and orders of Christian names probably as often as they changed their shoes! S9o I don't worry too much as long as one usual one is given and there are no more contenders!
I'll get back to you!
Emms
