Purely speculation based on limited information in your post-

Death: Christina McMullan, age 40, 10 Sept.1952 Lurgan district
Death: James McMullan, age 48, 3 Oct.1956 Lurgan district

Birth: Christina Robinson, 23 Nov.1911, parents- David James Robinson (damask weaver) & Annie Eliza Heathwood

Parents' marriage (1894)-

Which fits with this family-

(Methodist)
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Antrim/St__Anne_s_Ward/Thames_Street/183180
(now Presbyterian, 11 children but only 5 living in 1911- Christina born after census)

Hi

I just recently posted the attachment on another forum (Down) and then discovered this would probably be more appropriate. The dedication is on a flyleaf of a book which belonged in 1936 to my grandfather Matthew Davidson a tailor in Bridge St, Banbridge (no 53 at the bottom of The Cut). Robinson Cleaver had a premises at the top of Bridge St. My grandfather was associated with Banbridge Literary Society in early 1900s and it is possible that the Book (Works of Sir Walter Scott) belonged to its predecessor Banbridge Reading Society. The dedication reads

To Miss Moor
A small token of gratitude from her affectionate nephew
William George (?) Robinson
Dec 1871

I am wondering if the Moor/Robinson names ring any bells with contributors to this thread ? Could they be connected to Robinson Cleaver or is it just a coincidence ?

Any suggestions much appreciated

The aunt's name could be MOORE or Moon.

Florence's family mentioned in original post here.
Looking to fill in some gaps concerning these families:
According to one resource, Edward Robinson, was the son of Alexander Robinson of Ballymena, Co. Antrim.  Edward was b. 17 Feb. 1849 and went into business with John Cleaver in 1870.  Edward became a J.P. and lived at Lismara, Whiteabbey.
1.  John Cleaver, b. abt. 1842 m. Mary Ann Spence
2.  Arthur Spence Cleaver, b. abt 1870 m. 1905 Adelaide Pollock
2.  John Martin Cleaver, b. abt. 1871
2.  Mabel Cleaver, b. abt. 1874 m. 1901 Edward Arthur Robinson, son of his partner
2.  Sir James Frederick Cleaver, b. abt 1875
2.  Edward Arthur Cleaver, b. abt. 1879
2. Florence Edith Cleaver m. 1911 Norman MacNaughton
2.  Eileen Martha Esther Cleaver m. 1914 Charles Mitchell Clegg
***Corrections and additional information always appreciated***

Florence's birth-

No obvious births in Northern Ireland (up to 1921). No obvious births in England/Wales.

Florence E. MacNaughton died 1946 Poole district. Can't see anything in England Wills site.

Norman Macnaughton died 1954 Pool district. Nothing on Wills site for him either (checked 1954/1955).
