Reply Re the Robinson connection.
My Grandmother Elizabeth Baldwin, (Nee Robinson ) from Okains Bay (The Lizzie of your Book) Lived later in 88Idris Road Christchurch with her family,
My father Harry talked of their mother embargoing the family, on their property, where they were not allowed to leave for months. He spoke of he and his brothers from the vantage point of a macrocarta hedge, watching the horse pulled drays full of bodies,blackened in colour and covered with tarpolines and sheets, their dusky limbs protruding out of the , sheets and hanging over the sides and back of the huge wooden drays.
