  • Notes 

    • --- "Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology" Volume 6, 1888, page 407:
      MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE PARISH OF DENSTON, SUFFOLK.
      (On the floor.)
      Sacred
      to the memory of
      The Honble Rebecca Robinson
      Wife of John Robinson Esqr.
      Colonel in the Army,
      and Eldest Daughter of
      Robert Lord Clive,
      She died at St. Heliers,
      in the Island of Jersey,
      on the 18th of Novr. 1795,
      Aged 34.
      Her extensive benevolence,
      amiable Manners,
      & unremitted Affection
      for her Husband & Children,
      render'd her an object of
      the highest estimation,
      as a Friend, a Parent & a Wife.

      --- "Norfolk Chronicle" Saturday, 05 Dec 1795, page 2 :
      On Wednesday the 18th inst. died, in the island of Jersey, where the regiment of her husband, Colonel Robinson, has been for some time stationed, the Hon. Mrs. Robinson, of Denston Hall, in the county of Suffolk, daughter of the late, and sister to the present Lord Clive. So exemplary and tender was her conduct as wife and mother; that her loss to her family must be irreparable; and such was the warmth of her regard for her friends, the condescension of her behaviour to her dependents and the overflowing of her bounty to the poor, that to them her departure will be the cause of lasting and unfeigned lamentation.

      --- "Chester Chronicle" 4 Dec 1795, page 3:
      Lately died, in the Island of Jersey, the Hon. Mrs. Robinson, lady of Colonel Robinson, of the Suffolk Fencibles, and sister to the Right Hon. Lord Clive.

      ---- e-mail dated 6 Feb 2014
      I have looked at the original St Germans parish church baptism register
      this morning (P68/1/2) and the baptism took place on 14 August 1757.
      There is however a marginal note against the entry with very small
      writing and this says 'Born 9 Aug 12 at noon'

      I hope this will be of some assistance to you.

      Yours sincerely,
