Narrative

Name and birth date are from letter from Archives Office of Tasmania dated 1

the birth was registered in Launceston, and gives Henry John's profession as
"shoemaker" and his address as York Street. It also states that William Robins
(father of Henry John) was living in Brisbane Street in 1845 and in Canning
Street in 1851, and that according to the census of 1851 William and his wife
arrived in the colony as free settlers, but that there was no record of their
arrival.
