ROBINSON Family Tree -------------------- A genealogy of the ROBINSON family of NSW, Australia from c.1815 to the present. More details on my direct line can be found in l-robnsn.txt.

I make no claim regarding the accuracy of this chart; the original sources are not free from error and a degree of guesswork is involved in genealogy. Last revision: 28/6/2003 (c) David Powell, http://roots-boots.net/ft/names.html Note: "Location" of birth is where the birth was registered, this was usually where the actual birth was, but was sometimes a nearby town/etc or where a travelling minister was based (which was often very distant in country NSW of the 19th century). Joseph Robinson Jr. is, unfortunately, one of the few lines which I have not managed to pinpoint an arrival here in Australia. Irish records prior to the 1850's are very sparse, especially catholic records (Joseph was catholic). It is extremely unlikely that Joseph's birth will ever be found in Ireland, likewise any preceeding generations. Joseph was a mariner and no trace of his arrival in Australia has been found to date. Records of convict, free and military arrivals are fairly well documented, however arriving mariners are not well documented, especially since many arrived as crew and jumped ship in port. There was a Mr Robinson who arrived from New Zealand around 1840, who was previously based at a whaling station in NZ which had closed down about that time. Unfortunately the list of personnel from the whaling station arriving in Sydney does not list christian names and Robinson is a very common name - there were 6 convicts named Joseph Robinson - all of whom can be eliminated as being my Joseph, as well as all Joseph Robinson's listed in free immigrant lists and military personel. All locations are in NSW, Australia, unless otherwise specified. Isabella Ross was from Newton Stewart, Co Tyrone, Ireland. Joseph and Isabella married at St Andrews, Presbyterian. Their children were baptised as both presbyterians and also as Roman Catholics. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : Joseph ROBINSON (1811-1874) of Co Cork, Ireland; : d.Redfern, Sydney, NSW, Australia [1,5-7] : +Isabella ROSS (1817-1869) of Ireland; 1841, Sydney, NSW [1,2,5-7] : .
