My Father, George Henry Robinson, was born 1896 on the Isle. The eldest in his family, he moved to Liverpool with his birth family when they were adults.
I do intend to visit as it seems EVERYONE I meet has been there, except me!
His father is Frederick George Robinson, his mother Margaret Isabella Peckham, whose father, Henry William Peckham, [born New Forest, Hampshire] married Manx lass Margaret Jane Kneen and was a Fishmonger in Douglas in 1880.
I'm excited to have this opportunity to make contacts via this site. Hoping someone out there may be related, or have a memory or useful fact for me. I'll keep checking back.
I joined the church in Liverpool in 1971 and it's been the greatest thing I could ever have done.
