Thomas Robinson

1652 - 1708

Thomas was born in Tideswell in 1652, the son of Thomas ⁽¹⁾. Its not clear exactly who his siblings were as they may have been two different Thomases having children at around the same period ⁽¹⁾.

His wife's identity is not certain, but she was probably called Alice ⁽³⁾. He seemingly married in his late teens as his first known child died young a few months after his twentieth birthday ⁽⁴⁾. His next son was Thomas, born in 1673 ⁽⁵⁾, followed by Samuel in 1677 ⁽⁶⁾ and John in 1681 ⁽⁷⁾. John died in 1684 ⁽⁸⁾, a few months before Thomas's only daughter Elizabeth was born ⁽⁹⁾.

Alice, if she was his wife, died in 1703 ⁽¹⁰⁾, and Thomas in 1708 ⁽¹¹⁾.

• A child died young in 1672
• Thomas has his own page
• Samuel was born in 1677. He married a woman named Maria. They lived in Tideswell and had at least four children - Elizabeth, Maria, Robert and Samuel. His wife died in 1730, and Samuel in 1748.
• John was born in 1681, but died aged three.
• Elizabeth was born in 1684. Nothing more is known of her.

1. Parish Register of St John the Baptist, Tideswell, includes the entry:
   [February 1651]
   Bapt Thomas Robinson son of Thomas [8]
   The day of the month is difficult to read. I think it more likely to be an 8, but Val Neal's transcript of the original gives it as the 5th. Whichever is the case, this is dated by the Julian calendar, so is actually January 1652 in the Gregorian calendar.

7. Parish Register of St John the Baptist, Tideswell (transcript by Val Neal), includes the entry:
   Baptised 8/6/1681 - John, son of Thomas Robinson. However I was unable to find this entry in sequence in the microfilm of the PR, and it is not listed in the IGI. As Thomas did have a son John buried 18 months later though, I'm guessing it probably appears out of sequence amongst some of these hard to read earliest extant pages.
