Robinson.....either Essex or Surrey
« on: Sunday 01 September 24 05:11 BST (UK) »
Hi there
I know Robinson is a frightfully common surname, but I'm struggling to make headway.

Frank Robinson (b 16 May 1876 Anerley, Surrey) and his wife Alice (nee Parkes b. 16 Nov 1977 Bristol) and 4 of their 5 children, Violet Alice (b. 6 Mar 1904), Gladys (b. 4 Aug 1908), Stanley John (b. 19 Nov 1910) & Richard Frederick (b. 3 March 1913, known as Frederick) were resident in Wanstead and Woodford, Essex according to the 1939 England & Wales Register, although it is likely that Gladys was born in 1907 and not 1908 and Stanley in 1909 and not 1910.  I cannot determine an actual street address.  There was one other child, Florence May (b. 18 March 1905) who was married and living elsewhere.  Here the trail goes cold.  I have been unable to successfully determine the fate of this family using Online Birth Death & Marriage indexes.  I am pretty sure Stanley died in London during WWII (1941 London) and Richard appears to have died in 1996 in Surrey.  And Violet possibly died in Dorset (unmarried) in 2001.
In 1921 the family were resident in Walthamstow, the two sons being born there.
Can anyone offer from pointers, I seem to have exhausted accessible records from far away Australia.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Stuart McDonald, Western Australia

You’re welcome.  :)  I’m going to take a break for a few minutes.  Perhaps amondg is searching as well…I don’t want to step on amondg‘s toes by searching for the same thing.  ;)  I’ll resume after we’ve had a small, late supper.
