Margaret DRURY and Peter ROBINSON (aka John), my maternal grandparents, had a son Henry William ROBINSON born Georgetown, Tas, born 14 Feb 1844;

Surname: ROBINSON
Given Names: Name Not Recorded
Event: Birth
Father/Spouse Surname: JAMES (aka Peter or John)
Mother/Spouse Given Names: DEURY MARGARET (DRURY)
Day: 14
Month: 2
Year: 1844
Age:
Sex: M
Spouse Age:
Spouse Sex:
Place of Birth: Georgetown, Tasmania
Registration Place: LAUNCESTON
Registration Number: 137/1844
Reference: RGD 33

Father is listed as John as one of the survivors of the  King Island shipwreck of the "Neva".  On his marriage registration his father is known as Peter, on Henry William birth registration he is show as James and on the death registration of Henry William he is listed as William.  Also the name has been missspelt  twice as ROBISON and ROBERTSON. Margaret's surname is also misspelt DEURY (DRURY).

There is more about Margaret in the book "Convict Lives at the Lanuceston Female Factory" printed by Convict Women's Press, Hobart, 2013 written by me.
