Collingwood Robinson was born in 1848 at North Willingham Lincolnshire about 1848. Family search has two entries for him
1891 census in Canada showing him living in Ontario and is married. It does not give any more details of his wife or family.
The second reference is his death on 23.10.1899. This does not show any family details.
Can anyone find his entry details going to Canada or any of the family details, please
