Biography

Born 1850 Keyingham

Mary Robinson was born about November of 1850 but not baptised until 1854. ^[1].

Mary is the youngest child of John Robinson and his first wife Mary Colley.

Baby Mary 1851 Keyingham

In 1851 we find the Robinson family changed from 1841. John (44) is now identified as born in Burstwick, a carter employing 1 man, that is his son James 19, and wife Mary is a little closer to his age (41) born in Keyingham: Richard and George have left home so that James 19, William 13 and Arthur 11 are the oldest children remaining at home: There are four young children born during the previous decade. Edward 7, Rebecca 5 (clearly the earlier Rebecca had died), Joseph 2 and baby Mary 5 months. There are also two lodgers, labourers for the Ordnance Survey preparing the first modern maps. ^[2]

At School 1861 Paull

In 1861 the older children are scattered , but Mary Ann aged 10 and Joseph are scholars with John Robinson and his second wife near the little port of Paull on the Humber Estuary between Hull and Keyingham. John has changed location, wife, job and birthplace but the identical children prove this is the same man.

Newton Garth is a farmstead and associated cottages half way between the village of Paull on the Humber and the small town of Hedon.

Marriage 1866 Rimswell

In 1866 George Clark married Mary Ann Robinson (still under 17) in the tiny parish of Rimswell where her father had gone after his second marriage. ^[4]

A Growing Family 1881 Keyingham

In 1881 George Clark was an agricultural labourer aged 36, he was with his wife Mary Robinson, three sons and a daughter back in Keyingham where both parents were born. ^[5]

Disambiguation

Two Mary Robinsons are born in Keyingham, East Yorkshire, about a year apart in 1849-50. This Mary Robinson daughter of John Robinson and Mary Colley, later the wife of George Clark married in Rimswell where her father now lives with his second wife. Mary Ann Robinson ] born 1849 later the wife of Langdale .

They are probably not close cousins as John Robinson who marries Mary Colley is born not far east of Hull in either Preston or Burstwick.
