According to May in a letter to my grandmother Henry was born in Windygates

Henry was the youngest child of Thomas ROBINSON (1801-81) & Ellen WARDLE (1807-77). He christened at Upperhulme, Leek Frith on 29/5/1846 and married Hannah WILLIAMS (b 1850) of Canarvon, Wales on 11/11/1872 at Toxteth Park, Lancs. Thomas was my great great grandfather John ROBINSON's (1802-53) oldest brother. It is my understanding that Windy Gates Farm was owned by John and Thomas' younger brother William ROBINSON (1809-86) and your Thomas lived at Neilds and Thorney Leigh, Leek Frith. Thomas was a labourer and part time farmer. The brothers' parents names were John Faulkner ROBINSON (1759-1850) and Sarah WHITE 1776-1822) of Blackshaws Moor Farm, Leek Frith, Staffordshire. John senior was born illegitimite. I am very keen to find out more about your Henry and his family as I don't have much on them. E Mail me on webb@netconnect.com.au

Born in St. John's Liverpool (src: Military record)

Killed in action - his father Henry used to say that he was shot between the eyes.

This is the curcumstances of his death.

‘about which time the marines under Major Luke attacked and took the military school. A stout defence was made, but inside of half an hour the allied troops had climbed the walls and crossed the gate, the military students, retiring to a large room upstairs, from 'which they maintained a galling fire. Refusing to surrender, some sixty or seventy barricaded themselves in and made a last stand there; and when an English bluejacket battered in the ,door with an axe they shot him dead and served another in like fashion before the attacking force got in and bayonetted the whole lot.’

Henry was the Bluejacket.
