Robinson's of Darkley
« on: Tuesday 18 November 08 10:03 GMT (UK) »
My Great Grandfather is Robert Robinson from Darkley, County Armagh, Ireland he was born about 1836.

I have his parent Robert Robinson and Margaret Price.  I know Robert father John Robinson born about 1780 at Loughall, County Armagh, Ireland.

I know now I have myself confessed so I guess I have all you too!! so I try and rewrite this!!

John Robinson born about 1780 at Loughall, County Armagh, Ireland married ??? so a piece info I don't have!!!

they did have:
Rose Anne Robinson who married Samuel Watson on 5/9/1839
John Robinson
Eliza Robinson who married Thomas Price on 15/3/1838
Robert Robinson who married Margaret Price 

My great great grand parents are Robert Robinson and Margaret Price
there family is:

John Robinson married ?? and had 4 children
Andrew Price Robinson married Margaret Hargrave and moved to Canada
Frances Robinson married Andrew Price on 22/7/1852 in Keady and moved to NSW Australia
Robert Robinson married Rose Boyle on 31/1/1887 in Oamaru, New Zealand  and NZ via Australia
Eliza Robinson
Margaret Robinson Married William Axam in Australia
Samuel Robinson
Sarah Robinson    (Sarah and Samuel are twins)
Joseph Robinson  moved USA
Olivia Robinson married William Richardson in Tassagh
Cornelia Robinson
James Robinson married Eliza Goodfellow in Ireland to my knowledge (James is youngest of 13)

Robert & Margaret some time before 1826 is the though here I have hear Margaret died in 1910.  but that sound crazy date to me as for age of first child.

Is there anyone out there that could me more information or were to look!!!
As I been lucky to make contact to get I what I have got so far!!

And I very interest in the Price's as the kept coming to the family time after time!!!!

The details you've posted are before the start of civil registration in Ireland. Other than church records it will be difficult to get more information. What are your sources?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

I have been luck that I have a cousin in england doing the tree he come from a family that stayed in england so he had part of detail.  Then there been some more confirmed by a price from Australia who has been to Keady register office.  And my second cousin when for trip over to Ireland a couple years and got record from 2nd Keady Pres Church.

I have also given detail of Australian family to follow.  And think I have a family that fit for Andrew Robinson in Canada. 

As a child all I knew about Robert Robinson was that came to New Zealand via Australia and worked in Goldmine.  He had a sister married to Andrew Price and they my grandfather god parents.  there also another sister too and they in Australia.  They could read and write and as his sister sent letter to him for NSW in Australia. 

So it was shock that he was on 13 and only to come to New Zealand!!
