Hi,
I'm trying to sort out an early marriage for Isaac Robinson. So far I have the following information.
Born 1838 in Middle Rasen (Lincstothepast website confirms baptism)
in 1859 Married either Maria Firth or Ann Lusby (Civil Registration Marriage Index)
in 1861 Lived in Earswick with wife Ann M Robinson and daughter Mary A Robinson both supposedly born in Middle Rasen. (1861 Census)
in 1871 he's back in Middle Rasen, without wife and daughter, and I have all the information after this date.
My main problem is -
The 1861 census seems to suggest that he married Ann Lusby, but I can't confirm an Ann Lusby born in Middle Rasen in that time, there is an Ann Lusby born in Tealby which most people seem to think is the one. Recently however someone else has proven her not be correct, with her confirmed on a 1861 Census elsewhere.
I have also only found one Mary A Robinson born in 1860 (England and Wales Births) in the Caistor area (Middle Rasens general area). She has a father called Robinson and a mother called Firth.
Which suggests that he fathered a child with Maria Firth.
I so far haven't found baptism records for Ann Lusby, Maria Firth or Mary Ann Robinson although I have only checked Middle Rasen's records, I still have to go through others on the Lincstothepast website.
I'm struggling to find a Maria Firth at all.
I can't find a church record of the marriage, but I think I'll need to visit the churches for that or the central Lincs record office.
If anyone can advise on sites to look from here then I would be most grateful.
David
