Hello
I am Trying to find any descendants of Arnold Robbins b.1840 camerton somerset.
He married Mary Robinson .They lived in Houghton Street Castleford he was a Coal Miner, In 1911 they lived at 105 Wheldon lane/road Castleford
They had 8 children

Joseph William Robbins - b.1881
Arnold Robbins - b.1884
Christiana Robbins -b. 1886
Henry (Harry) Robbins - b.1889
Thomas Robbins - b. 1891
Susie Robbbins -b. 1894
George Robbins -b. 1897
Selena Robbins -b. 1899

I would really like to find a living relative from one of these Great Aunt's and Uncles
I know that  Great-Uncle Harry Died in 1913 when he committed suicide on the railway lines near wheldon lane Castleford at the age of 24.

I would really love to find any photos of any of them especialy My greatgrand father Arnold ,because as the story goes ,when his son joseph William robbins died in 1964 he lived at 24 Birkhill Airedale castleford ,and his Sons had to clean the house out for the council-
they had a bonfire in the garden and burnt everything including we think the only photo of Great grandad Arnold.

I Have only found 3 children of Joseph William Robbins = Joseph edward, Norman and John richard
Can anyone help me find my distant cousin's
Thankyou  for reading , please do get in touch,
Brian Robbins

There are a few online trees showing Selina, some give a death but no source for it.

Just found Wilmot and Selina on a passenger list (1949) heading to Canada, which is shown as "country of intended future permanent residence".

Good Luck!
