Hi Sadie,

I do have a Thomas Robinett b.1839 in Yaxley, he is the brother of my g.g.grandmother Charlotte b.1837 Their parents were James b.1809 and Patience Robinett nee Pettifor b.1801

There are other siblings.

I was born in London, spent many holidays and visits to my g.granny in Yaxley and then my grandad and nanny retired to his family home on Church Street. I have always loved being there, and when I was eight I wrote a poem about Yaxley and left it at St. Peter's Church.

I now live in Canada, and this year we made a trip to England and to Yaxley, spent some time walking around the church and the cemetary and around the village. It's a wonderful place.

That is interesting about the cottages on Main Street being called 'Streatham' - as I lived in Streatham in London.

There is also a house on Main Street, called 'Olive House' near the corner of Church Street, which is connected to my family. I am also connected to the Smiths and Marriott's.
