Matthew Robinson born "North Nibley abt 1803" (General)
Hallo Jeff,
I am completely new to this site. it is amazing, isn't it? I am very grateful for your kind help and support. I have just sent for the birth certificate of Elizabeth (nee Clutterbuck) and Matthew Robinson's son TOM, who was born in West Dean, Coleford, on 24th December 1848. It has now returned to me. The birth was actually registered in the Monmouth district on 14th January 1849. Their on-line census records mention a "Sam" who was born to them around that time. I think that must be a mis-transcription from the very original census returns! According to this birth certificate - father, Mattthew, was illiterate! (He signed his name with an "X".) Presumably Elizabeth was illiterate also - so the third party filling in their original census returns on their behalf may have misheard them, and thought they said their young son was "Sam" instead of "Tom". My husband has descended from Tom Robinson!
Thanks again for your help.
