1891 - 1901 Census Look Up Please
« on: Monday 21 August 06 01:19 BST (UK) »
Really need some help finding, JOHN HERBERT ROBINSON  b. 1885  in England.
He is one of the family members that we have very little on. We do have him moving to Canada before 1914. John married Jane Davison on June16, 1914 in Hillcrest, Alberta, Canada. Haven't found him on the 1911 census yet. John Robinson died about 1932.

Hello Janette & Rambler

On the Certificate of Marriage, it just has England as the place of birth. The only thing that the family members (that are left) knows of John Robinson is that he died before his daughter Elizabeth's marriage to William Simpson in Dec. 1932.  And that he was a miner at some point in Alberta.
I was sent an obit on the Canada board that has a John Herbert Robinson died Oct. 31, 1932 Midland, Alberta. This John sounds like he could be the right one.

Would like to find out more about  his life in England.
