Are you looking for relatives in the Oxford area? Do you have any more data i.e. DOB etc. Do you know where the family originated.? Have data re Robinsons from Lincs and Yorks so maybe able to help you.

Have you tried putting the names in the "Search Trees" box at the top of this page to see if anyone on here has them in their tree ?

thank you both have tried the search box actually found a cousin of theirs but was only able to supply info on great great granny ect which was great but like me lost touch yrs ago.
and micheal if you can help would be great i,m guessing dob would be 1927-37 as he was the youngest and similar in age to my father who was born in 37 originally from vulcan st (pottinger pt of) co down but might find it under belfast as it grew out around it and i only know oxford could be anywhere in oxford but nearly sure he was a teacher and i know he had triple bypass round the 80's would be so great to find them as they may have info i'm missing or confirm what i have

Hi Eleanor, I have done a quick search and there is not very much info I can look into. Robinson is a very common name, and in my direct male line of descent there are some ancestors who had more than 10 offspring.
Try on Friends Reunited, or www.familysearch.org. (Both free of charge) www.bt.com maybe a source to look at. Make sure that you try every variation of a name i.e. Gerry could be Gerald etc.
If you need any more help please leave me a message here.

Good luck mand happy hunting

Regards

Michael
