Hi Nena. Sorry for the delay but I got called away last night so I've come back to it this morning. This is from the 1901 census.
We have William A. H. Robinson aged 29 born about 1872. Living at 54 Carlton Road, St. Oswalds, Aston, Birmingham he is a Screw Tool Maker. He was born in Smethwick Staffordshire.
Also there is Ada L Robinson aged 26 born about 1875 from Hackney, London and their first child Winifred E. Robinson aged 7 months born in Birmingham district.

I can't find a definite marriage for them (too many William's and Ada's to say for definite which is them) so your next step is to order Winifred's Birth Certificate which will give you Ada's maiden name. You order from the GRO using the volume and page numbers at the bottom and NEVER pay more than £7 for it. Other sites will charge a great deal more so make sure you go direct to the GRO site.
Once you have it (they generally take about a week to arrive) you will have Ada's name and we can trace her family.
I am hoping that this is the one. There were 2 Winifred E. Robinson's born close together but I think because she is 7 months old when the census was taken then this should be her.

Winifred Ethel Robinson
Year of Registration: 1900
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Aston (1837-1924)
County: Warwickshire
VOLUME: 6d
PAGE: 283

Hope this helps in your search.

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!
