Robinsons of Southport, Lancs

[shimminallen]

You're right but if the Atkinsons were all living together in Cromwell Road in 1901 and Ethel started her book in 1900, Jane might possibly have made it in somehow.

Several other people apart from the Slaters, Haygarths etc, made it into both birthday books and so some of them may also be relatives, though as yet, I have no idea how:

Hugh Wilfrid Smith Oct 9 83
Ethel Bird Aug 30
Hilda Barton Sept 11 1884 or 1887 I can't tell
A. Lea Harris Sept 13
Everil Underwood Reavley? July 24
Joel Roxby May 5
G. or E.? Parnell Mar 26
M. Barnes Feb 6

They may be in other chatters' trees...
M. Barnes is most likely to be a relative of Elizabeth Barnes, second wife of William Robinson.
There is also a Harriet Jackson Aug 22 who is likely the sister of William's first wife, my great grandmother, Annie Jackson.

Having sorted Laura via PM, I've now been looking at ALice.
Cant see a marriage of Alice Robinson to Slater.
However there is :
Harriet Robinson to Thomas Slater in Jul/Aug/Sep 1912, Southport 8a 4

Lots of Slater children with mums maiden name Robinson in the following years, 1917 right through to 1946, so obviously more than one Slater/Robinson union in the area (not unusual names, so no surprise)

Though with ALice aged 15 in 1881, she would be too old to be having children in those years.

I'll keep looking ..

Thanks again. I don't have a T. Slater in my books. There is the Harriet Robinson the general servant of William's household who was 24 in 1891.
I have found references to Everil Reavley and Ethel Bird in other genealogical sites on the web and have tried to contact those interested. I suspect the connection is through the Primitive Methodist Church with which my family was involved.

Again it comes back to whether you are just wanting to contact anyone who has a link to these people, or whether yuo are wanting to research them yourself to see how/if they all fit in.

e.g
 Everil Underwood Reavley's birth is quick to find -
Jul/Aug/Sep 1882
Darlington ref 10a 34

and her (I thought it was male before finding marriage!) marriage:
Apr/May/Jun 1915
York ref 9d 177
Everil M Reavley / Robert W Dixon  (guess the 'M' is an error)

and her death -
Jul/Aug/Sep 1973
Leicester ref 3a 1324
Everil Underwood Dixon aged 91

[shimminallen]

M in error - yes she wrote her U like an M.
I don't have time to look into tangential people, but if there is someone out there with an interest in these names they might be interested in the connection and the signature.
Thanks again.

It may be a good idea to put a posting on the North Meols (Southport) site, details as follows:

There are a great bunch of folk  on there who may be able to help.

Thanks very much for the suggestion! I will certainly try it.
