Hi there Lisa, While searching for information on my family tree I noticed that you had the name Robins from Guernsey.

Many thanks.
Take Care.

Hi Matt,

The link to the Guernsey Robin's is through my Great x 2 Grandmother Susan Robins b. 1854 Bridport, Dorset

Her Robins line is as follows;

William Robins - b. 1832 Guernsey - married Sarah Jarman
Thomas Robins - b. 1801 Guensey - married Marthe Le Prevost
Pierre Robins - b.1747 Guernsey - married Elizabeth Cohu
Jean Robins - b.1709 Guernsey - married Marie Cohu
Jean Robins - b. 1681 Guernsey - Jeanette LaPage Mahy

In some records, it's Robin or Robins.

Do any of these tie in with your tree at all ?

Regards

Lisa

Hi there Lisa, Thanks for getting back to me.
Nothing jumps out at me from those names that you mentioned but I do still have a bit to research yet.
My family came from Chieselborough Somerset a JOSEPH ROBINS born ABT 1791 in Chiselborough Somerset and Married a Mary Langdon  born ABT 1785.
The generations first came to ALDERNEY. CHANNEL ISLANDS then onto GUERNSEY.
One of josephs sons ISAAC ROBINS Married an EMMA BARGERY
AND ONE OF THEIR SONS, ISAAC ROBINS Married a EUPHROSINE MELVINA CELESTINE FLAMBARD AKA ROSE FLAMBARD.
Then one of their sons was HENRY CHARLES ROBINS who Married a Clara Louisa Foss.
Then one of their sons was ALFRED ISAAC ROBINS who Married an ALICIA EDITH DOREY.
Then one of their sons is a DAVID MICHAEL ROBINS who Married a MARGARET ANN TRUFFITT.
And their eldest son is me.
Is there anything there that rings a bell with your research. ?

Take care all the very best.
Matt Robins.

Hi Lisa

I believe that the Susan Robins that you refer to is my Great Grandmother.
She married a George Vincent in Shropshire in 1875 and they had 12 children of which the eldest William Vincent was my Grandfather. He married Mary Dominy in Cerne Abbas Dorset in 1903 and my Father Leslie John Vincent was born in 1906.

If this is the correct person get in touch

Regards
Len Vincent

Hi Lisa, just wanted to let you know that throughout my researching my LeGallee and LeVallee families, I have come across most if not all of the names you have mentioned. My GGGrandmother was Rachel LeVallee b Alderney abt 1806, she emigrated to Quebec, Canada and married Thomas LeGallee. I don't have alot of info about him but when he passed away she remarried a Jean Lenfestey. All of the surnames I have mentioned are Island names, seemed they liked to marry amongst themselves. FYI, Abraham Lenfest(e)y married Thomasse Brehaut in 1668, Guernsey.
You can find lots of info about the families that emigrated to Canada in the Drouin Collection.
good luck!!

I have Susanne Elizabeth Brehaut DOB:1861, married to Jacob Sargent Shorto DOB:1857. Both were born in the Channel Islands.
Trying to locate more info, on both.
Thanks for any help,

Hi Lisa
I just found this site. I reckon we are related - all the people you mention are my ancestors too.
My maiden name is Robin (we never used the 's' in our family) and I can trace my family back to Jean Robin 1681 and perhaps earlier.
I have a copy of the Robin Family Tree and all its branches for the Guernsey clan.
I have been meaning to get down to sorting out a box full of papers from research I did many years ago. I was lucky enough to meet an old gentleman in his 90's who told me a great deal about the Robin family.

My father, grandfather and great grandfather were all Eugene.
My great grandmother was a Mauger and I have information about them as well.

Hi Maggie

As you can see from this thread I am also related to the Robins family but do not know much about them. My grandfather William Vincent lived with his grandparents William & Sarah Robins in Bridport Dorset as a child as can be seen from the 1881 census, his parents George & Susan lived in Bridgenorth Shropshire but originated from Dorset.
