Robinson

[Chalonad]

Hi all,

I’m searching for any information about the parents of a Harold (Harry) Hussey

He was apparently raised as Harry Robinson.

His marriage certificate says his parents were John and Lillian but I am unable to find them.

He also signed his name Hussy instead of Hussey
It also says he was born in Toronto Ontario but my family understood that we was born in England and came here when he was a couple years old.

He was born in 1918 and died in 1987

He married Doris lougheed in 1948.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Many thanks

Did he marry using the name Harry rather than Harold or Henry?

Did he marry & die as Huss(e)y or Robinson

Did he have a second christian name? 

Do you have his full birthdate?

Hi Chalonade,

Welcome to RootsChat 


Hi Carole,  I think Chalonade might have made a typo, I found the marriage at Anc. in 1938 rather than 1948 as Harry HUSSY.

I lose him after that.


Regards,
Daisy

Yes, sorry he married in 1938 not 48


He married using Harry Hussy

He died a Harry Hussey

No second name that we know of.

Birthdate is March 29 1918

And there are no records as him as Robinson but we were told by family that he was raised as a Robinson by his Aunt and Uncle

Thankyou!

If his aunt and uncle were called ROBINSON then one can use Freebmd to find a marriage between a male ROBINSON and female HUSSEY. Time would be from around 1890 to 1918.
Quite a few possibles but comparing the places and looking for them in the 1921 census to see which had child age about 3 called Harry living with them should (edit might) find them.

There is no English birth or marriage matching the info given.  Have you looked for him on the Canadian 1921 census in view of what you say about him being born Toronto

[Chalonad]

Hey, yes I’ve looked at the 1921 census and that shows what appear to be him, with Thomas as his father and an Elizabeth as his mother.

Sorry I should have shared that info.

What I’m trying to figure out is if those are his real parents and he just changed his name and made up names for his parents on his marriage record

Or if what he wrote on his marriage record is true and his parents are John and Lillian

[Chalonad]

I’ve also tried searching for records of marriage of Thomas Robinson and Elizabeth hussey, thinking maybe that is his aunt but wasn’t able to find anything.

I’ve spent countless hours researching and now asking the community here is kind of a last resort.

Thanks so much

One more thing lol.

There shows a Lillian as a boarder and another Lillian as a sister on the 1921 census which may be a coincidence that he put Lillian as his mother on the marriage record?

Also it makes sense that that census would be him because it is in Toronto and he says on the marriage record he was born in Ontario.

The strange thing is all his nieces and nephews (my aunt and Uncles) swear he came over from England at few years old and was adopted as a Robinson. I’m just stuck trying to find anything on his real parents (Hussey or Hussy)

No boat records or anything
