ROBINSON pre 1814
My great great grandfather CHARLES ROBINSON was born in 1814 in Milford Haven, Wales.
He began his seafaring career at the age of 9 with a 7 year apprenticehip in vessels in the timber trade from the Baltic.Charles travelled to Australia c 1837 and eventually settled in Auckland, New Zealand about 1839.
Charles's father was a master mariner by the name of HENRY ROBINSON and his mother was ELIZABETH ROBINSON (nee ENDRIUS).There is every chance that Henry and Elizabeth were from England even though Charles was born in Wales.I think Milford haven was a busy naval port in 1814.
I would be most grateful for any information on Henry or his wife Elizabeth, or any other relatives.I don't know whether Charles had any siblings.I have been searching for some time now without success, and cannot gain access to some sites as I do not live in England. Any help at all would be most appreciated.
