My husbands grandmother is Lillian Robinson (born 1898/99 Kennington) her parents are George Robinson (born 1868/69 Peckham) and Elizabeth (born 1874/75 Brixton). They are on the 1901 census and were living in Westham, Essex. but I cannot find their marriage or Lillian's birth certificate. I think maybe lillian's might be in her mothers maiden name, but I do not know what that is until I can find the marriage certificate. Can anyone tell me how I could locate this information? I have written to the ONS but they could not find anything. Thanks Valerie

Valerie, FreeBMD is mostly complete around 1898/1899 for births so you should find her. How about this: Births Sep 1899 Robinson Lilian Adelaide Lambeth 1d 311 Crista

Should that be Kensington? There is no registration district called Kennington. I just did a search for all Lillians in 1898 and there are hundreds.

Carol, I assume Valerie got the birth info. from the 1901 census. Kennington is in the Lambeth district. Crista

I tried BMD for Georges marriage, and these are from the London area.

Many thanks to Crista and Carol you have given me plenty to work on I will let you know if any come to fruition. Valerie

Valerie, This might help. Ernest ROBINSON Head M Male 35 St Giles Bloomsbury, Middlesex, England Clerk London Bank Anne L. ROBINSON Wife M Female 34 St Andrews Holborn, Middlesex, England George E. ROBINSON Son Male 11 Peckham, Surrey, England Scholar Lilian A. V. ROBINSON Daur Female 9 Peckham, Surrey, England Scholar From the 1881 census. Pretty sure this is your George seeing as his sister was called Lilian. The middle initial E might help narrow things down. Crista

Valerie He was still single on the 1891, living with his widowed mother Annie and sister Lillian, so that may narrow down your search for a marriage for him. April

Dear Crista and April George Robinson was the father, Elizabeth was his wife and Lilian was their daughter. Thanks Valerie
