When son John gets married in 1861, his father John's occupation is
given as 'Ostler'.
On the 1841 census at Jehu Lane, John's occupation is ostler and he is
born between 1792 and 1796. Not born in county.
The 1851 census at Bakers Hill, John's date of birth would be 1791, he is still an ostler. When his place of birth was given, perhaps it was misheard
and Treeton entered instead of Torrington.
On the 1861 census, his age is given as 61yrs, born 1800. Perhaps as he
is most likely to be ill at this point, Mary or son John guessed his age.
John's burial is on this site.
I can only find one baptism that would fit John.
John Robinson baptised 10 April 1791, East Torrington, Lincolnshire.
Parents: Benjamin and Martha.

I presume Jehu Lane is now the Jew Lane running off Fitzalan Square ?
Bakers Hill is also in that location.

Hi Moira
You found John in the 1841 Census, well done, something I gave up on with so many John Robinson's being around at that time.
Fair assumption that East Torrington was misheard / mispelt !
Yes, I have recorded John's death from information in these burial records.
Thanks for the baptism record, something for me for the future.
