Transcribers’ Note

Variant spelling, inconsistent hyphenation, punctuation and spelling are retained, however a few changes have been made to correct apparent errors, these are listed below.

Page headings have been moved to appropriate positions. Dates from these headings have been retained for each new year.

Footnotes have been moved to end of the paragraph or letter to which they refer.

In captions of illustrations, “Mr.” “Mrs.” “1st.” were originally printed with all but the first character as superscripts, and variant spellings of “née” have been standardized.

In the printed book there were a few blanks where characters or parts of characters did not print. These have been corrected.

Mismatched quotation marks have been made standard.

The Robinson Pedigree chart was printed on a loose sheet of paper, and inserted inside the back cover of Volume One. It is shown here at the end of the Volume Two. Entries have been numbered and listed. Links are given to each family member’s parents and children, rather than by lines, which are shown in the [image] of the full chart.

References to footnotes are shown by the original page number followed by the footnote number used in this transcription, e.g. “28[{52}]”. In the index punctuation, the use of volume numbers, and the use of italics have been standardized.
