This website has primarily been created for use by the direct descendants of  Frederick William Robinson and Ellen Elizabeth Drake who lived at Kapuka and  Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand between 1887 and 1973.

They had six sons, Charles, Jack, Harold, Leslie, Clarence and Mervyn who were born  between 1912 and 1921.

It is intended that this website will be used to maintain the Family Tree and  document noteable events in the lives of each family member in the tree for future  generations. 
  
 While much of the direct descendent Family Tree information has been available for  some time amongst family members in New Zealand, the tree has been assisted greatly  by research material made available from documents prepared by Bruce H Robinson of  Burwell near Cambridge in England who also received assistance from Joan and Vernon  Robinson in Invercargill. The information from Bruce H Robinson has been of great  value in enhancing this website particularly in regard to the ancestors of Frederick  William Robinson. This information enhances what was already available from Frederick  William Robinson's great grandfather Andrew Robinson by at least another six  generations. The information made available from Vernon and Joan Robinson has added  greatly to the tree information regarding the families of the seven brothers and five  sisters of Frederick William Robinson.

Ancestors are referenced as far back as 1580 and also includes some of the English  Robinson's descendents from Frederick William Robinson's great grandfather William.

A special acknowledgement is credited to Brendon Cameron for his work in the book Our Noble Mortons  published in association with the Morton Family Reunion in 2008. The content of his book comprised  information from this website on the Robinson side, but in addition has provided significant  information on the Drake side tracing the Morton family lines back as far as 1731.   
 Photographs and additional information for use on the website are sought from anyone  who is willing to help. This includes updating the family lines of the five Robinson brother's  spouses.
