Le Prevost/Robins/Cohu/Mahy/Brehaut - Guernsey

[sasflipper]

Hi Matt
I think Henry Charles Robins and Clara Louise Foss were my Great Grandparents.  I remember my Papa George talking about a Clara Louisa. Can you confirm whether they had a son George Stanley Eric Robins?  Both my grandparents and mother are deceased so I don't know much about the Robins side of my family. 
Have you any idea why the Robins family came to Guernsey?  I wonder if it was to do with the sugar factory...

Thanks
Sas

Hi, thanks to all of you for the replies, and apologies that i haven't responded sooner

Len,  i'm not sure if we've been in touch before but my Great Grandmother was Rachel Rose Vincent. That would make her your Great Aunt wouldn't it ?  If so, i think that would make you my second Cousin once removed  

If you could send me a pm with your email address, it would be lovely to hear from you.

Maggie, it would be fab to see your tree and how we are connected, please get in touch.

Thanks

Lisa

Sorry everyone - I am not very good at watching this site.
I will - at some point - attempt to scan in the family tree of the Robin family from Guernsey. It is very big and I will have to find a way of either reducing it, which may make it difficult to read, or to scan it in sections.  If I could find the time - ! I could type it in, in a form that is readable.  That is my plan.

I can tell you that there are several branches of the Robin family: some come from the Provence area of France and another from Brittany & Normandy. My guess is that the Robin family in Guernsey came from the latter. Whether they moved there for the sugar, which I have not heard about, or another reason, I don't know.

hello
I'm not sure if I am connected to all of you but I do have a connection with Matt Robins who posted earlier.
Threw my 3 x grandparents Isaac Robins b 1821-26 married  Emma Rosey Bargery b 1836 ( also you could be right of why the family came to the Island as she worked at the Sugar factory )
their daughter Amelia b abt 1855 (your Issac sister) married James Molloy b 1852
would love to share with you what I have found.
Also Maggie I to would like to see your Robins family tree if you think there is a connection and my grandmother was a Mauger her father was Edward Le Pelley Mauger any connection ?
looking forward to hearing from you

Hi, I have a connection to Le Prevost.

Marie Le Prevost married William Cochrane.  They, together with Peter Phillips Cochrane (Williams brother) immigrated to Australia in 1854

William's father was James Cochrane and his father was also James Cochrane.  They were tobacco aucctioners in St Peters Port.

Hi all I am also a part of this huge and ever growing family, my grandfather was Samuel Vincent the 10th child of Susan Vincent (nee Robins). A lot of Ancestry trees have a Pierre Robins passing away in China. Can anybody tell me where that information came from?
Hope RootsChat's huge knowledge base can help.
Cheers Chris

Hi Chris, Len has given me your email so i'll be in touch soon about the family tree in general

Re Pierre, i haven't used China as a place of death until i have found something concrete to back it up.

There seems to have been a lot of copying of trees on Ancestry so i'm assuming one person put China then others have copied it and it's gone from there.

Regards
