Catherine Report 16 Feb 2009 14:34

If you look on the 1901 census that I posted the birth place of each child is noted.
The two boys, Robert T.:-
Births Mar 1879 (>99%)
Robinson Robert Thompson Birkenhead 8a 571

and William F.:-
Births Sep 1881 (>99%)
Robinson William Fearenside Birkenhead 8a 540

were also born in Egremont, Cheshire so it looks as though the family moved some time between the birth of Alice in 1876 and the birth of Robert in 1879.
In 1881 and 1891 census there is however another child, Frances born in 1878 in Kendal:-
Births Dec 1877 (>99%)
Robinson Frances Mary Kendal 10b 700

which would narrow the date down to some time in 1878/79.
