I'm trying to trace my maternal grandfather's family. He was John Robert Robinson, born in Aberdeen in 1901, son of ROBERT ROBINSON and SARAH ELIZABETH ROBINSON nee CLIFFORD who were married on 10 August 1889 in SCARBOROUGH.
This is the only English aspect to my family and I am finding it much harder to trace than the Scottish element where I have used the excellent Scotlandspeople site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Derek
