Ian,

It may be worth asking this question on the family history board making reference to the BBC website and with any dates you have for your Robisnon lot.

I'm sure some of the memebrs will love searching the information for you!

Ian,
If you give us some dates births deaths or marriages I’m sure we can help it may take awhile but we will keep looking and post the info on site.

I have just had a search for A Robinson on

www.cwgc.org

(The Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site).

It came up with around 80 names, with about 25 possibles. If you have more details for Arthur such as age, date of death, service(army navy airforce) or full name then you will find more details.

One of the facilities available, once you have made a positive identification is the ability to print out a certificate. This is A4 sized and is in colour. It makes a very fitting tribute to the individual person concerned.

regards Phil

Hi Jenny,R.G.F.Robinson & H.R.F.Robinson (twins) b.1872,R.G.F m. 1910 W Derby,i don't know yet what children they had but thought Arthur may have been a son of one of them.Ian

Hi Theo,If you knew Arthur perhaps you knew his parents,if so does Robert George or Henry Reginald ring a bell.Ian
