Robinsons from Oldcastle

Househen,  There were no Robinsons returned to a search of the Tithes in Oldcastle.  There were 17 Robinsons returned for Meath( 1820s?), but no George.   A search of Robinson births from 1830 -1833 (Irish Genealogy)  returned no Robinson in Dublin in the same period, although Robinson was embedded in the names of children baptised in that period and Robinsons appeared as early as 1839.   Robinson appears to be an English name and one person married the the early 1830s in Dublin was actually in the army of the time.  Robinsons appear to occur in northern counties around Fermanagh and may have English or Scottish origins.  I will add one other return, and ask a question, " Could there be a confusion in the facts?

Househen, Your request is more complex than first thought.  These were WORK HOUSE orphans.  The Oldcastle Work House did not exist before 1840.  I searched ALL Ireland for Robinson births ( 1832 +/- 5 years )  to find there were actually 32 Jane Robinsons born in that period.  None were born in Co Meath.  However, from my own experience, I have an interpretation of a possibility.  2 Jane Robinsons were born ( 1827 - 1837) in Co Cavan and 1 was born in Dublin North. Take one year off ( 1826) the Co Cavan return and the number was 3. However, the Oldcastle Workhouse was only a short distance from the border of Co Cavan.  Therefore, it might have been possible for an orphan to have been placed there from e.g. the parish of MunterConnaught, Co Cavan ( part of my experience ).  There was a George Robinson registered at Lurgan, Cavan, aged 24 in 1821.  Surprisingly he was a doctor.  Lurgan is 11 kms from Oldcastle.  Rootsireland advises that a George Robinson was married (  possibly two or three of them ) between 1825 and 1840, and a Nordon ( not Mary ) was married also, at least on two occasions, in Co Cavan. A Mary Robinson died in Cavan between 1835 and 1845, but no George Robinson is returned as having died.  Another referral  for you : https://www.facebook.com/moylaghhistory/posts/oldcastle-workhousethe-wo…;
