    Notes:

    In her book 'Life on the Lancaster Canal' Janet Rigby quotes Arthur Harry Griffin, writing in the Lancashire Daily Post in 1934 of Elizabeth Ann Robinson as "strong, weather-beaten and buxom and well equipped to do the rough work of the boats" describing her as "the skipper of the boat in which she lives with her family, and is the only woman navigator on the Canal, and whose daughter May was born on the Canal and christened after the name of the boat."
    Janet adds: "Elizabeth was the grandmother of John Parkinson (q.v. b1934) and he says that in 1934 she still had three sons and one daughter with her, having been left a widow in 1928 with nine children."
    There are at least seven Robinson births in Preston between 1912 and 1926 in the GRO Online Register with mother's maiden name Slater, who could belong either to Elizabeth and Joshua, or to her sister Janet Slater and Joshua's brother Thomas Robinson.

    Elizabeth married Joshua Robinson about Nov 1902 in Emmanuel, Preston. Joshua (son of Thomas Robinson and Mary Jane Crompton) was born in 1882 in Preston, on the canal; died about Aug 1928 in Preston. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
