Biography

Robina Colvin was christened on 8 Dec 1871 at Kirk German, Isle of Man, the daughter of Thomas Colvin and Isabella (nee Taggart).[1]

In 1881, she was living with her parents, 5 brothers and a sister at 10 Bridge St, Peel, IOM. (occupation, scholar)[2] She was still living with her parents in Peel in the 1901 Census.

She passed away in 1950.

13 Feb 1930

As a mark of appreciation for valuable services rendered by Mrs. J. J. Quirk, of Cudgen, who has been organist at the Presbyterian and Methodist Church services there for the past six teen years, that lady was entertained by the members of both churches. Mr. J. H. McDonald, home missionary at Tweed Heads, presented a dinner service to Mrs. Quirk, and his remarks were endorsed by the Key. L. Taylor, L.Th., of Tweed Heads, Methodist Church. The coloured people presented a clock.[3]
