Robinsons in Stanford River

Dear Rob,

I have been researching my ancestors, Robinsons, for the past 6 months and the results of my work can be seen on http://www.lyons-family.co.uk/fan-chart/index.htm Just click on a person and my notes should appear. Francis Robinson and his family, of whom 4 were born in Stanford Rivers,, must have lived at Brook Cottages from 1865 - 1872/5. And it seems to have been a fairly prosperous period of his life as he is recorded, 1871, as employing 2 people and farming 40 acres. 1 wondered if any school records exist for this period or whether you have any members interested in Robinsons .?

Would be really pleased if you can reply. Ellen Annie Robinson was my mum's beloved granny. And in my research. I have found that her dad, Francis, grew up less than a mile from where we had a hotel in Chadlington from 1987-1996! Unfortunately. I only discovered this after my mum's death
