Do you know anything about the Robberds family and, if so, do they feature in any of your books, please?

John Warden Robberds 1784-1871 co authored The Scenery of the the Rivers of Norfolk with my Great x3 grandfather James Stark (Norwich School of Painters ). He came from a family of dissenters and married Ann May Unthank. He was son of John Whitaker Robberds , mayor of Norwich 1814. In the 1830s and 40s lived in Magdalen St.and is buried in the Rosary Cemetery with several of his family.

Thank you so much for that information, which is interesting.
My Great grandfather was a Walter John Forbes Robberds 1863-1944 and I am trying to establish if he has anything to do with all the Robberds families in Norwich.
Best wishes. Victoria

I know I’m somewhat late to the party, but just wanted to say that Back Stories is a superb book. To read the blog posts plus the additions in such a well-produced publication is a real pleasure. To present Norwich history with a fine balance between the art of storytelling with the background of sound research is a rare talent. (I’m also glad to see that Brampton gets its mention on page 38!).
