Hi – Your Robert Parkinson is also my gggg grandfather – coming through his daughter Hannah Parkinson who married TG Robinson. My g grandmother however has been omitted from your list – you have her twin sister Elizabeth Maria b 1883 listed as a child of Robert Robinson but not her twin sister Hannah (no middle name – both named after their grandmothers) who was actually born the day before her twin sister. Also have more info on Robert’s ancestors.
