Looking for information on Horace Robbins b1901 Dover Kent. Trying to find out whom his parents are and thought I might find out on the 1911 census. I found a Helen Robbins born 1862 (49) possible mother also three children Albert Edward born 1903 - Irene 1902 - Stanley 1899. Cannot access the records so wondering if somebody could please check this out for me and then I can work my way backwards.
Kind regards
Julia

This would be his birth reg:

Births Sep 1901

Robbins Horace Dover 2a 1088
.................


There are some Army records which 'could' be his???
His date of birth on the records is 5th July, 1901, so would fit with the above.

If so, they show mother as Elizabeth Hunt, 5, Vicarage Rd, Gillingham in 1921.

This looks like his baptism?

Looking for a marriage which might fit for Elizabeth (Eliza) to a Hunt, I find:

Hunt George Robbins Elham 2a 2690
Robbins Eliza M A Hunt Elham 2a 2690

..................
This would be Eliza on 1901, shortly before Horac's birth?
