The Fishing Robsons |
|
An illustrated history of the Robson family, descendants of William Robson (1761-1844) of Flamborough in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This book, written by a great-great-great-great- grandson of William Robson, traces the various branches of the family in the fishing, herring curing, building and seed crushing industries. |
|
Although the book is centred around the Robson family, the story includes a good deal of general historical information about the family’s activities and the places where they lived - mainly Scarborough, Hull and Milford Haven. There are detailed genealogical tables which include all the known (in 1998) descendants of William Robson. |
|
The book also features 77 photographs, 19 line drawings, a folding pedigree and an index of all related surnames. |
|
First published in 1991, this is the second edition and contains family details updated to 1998. |
