Trying to find Roblin

Most of this part of the Roblin family are from Cwmavon, near Port Talbot in SOuth Wales. There are a few branches of the family from the area and I would love to hear from any relatives, no matter how distant. It has been suggested that the Roblins in Cwmavon came from Pembrokeshire, I have no proof, but it is clear that there are a lot of Roblins in Pemborkeshire and it appears that some research done in the USA places the source of the name in Pembs. Any more info on that would be appreciated. An update on this, I have found some evidence of a link for my family to Crinow and Narberth in Pembrokeshire. Any other family links out there to this area. I have also found an entry in a book about Pembrokeshire written in 1902 identifying a house near Camrose in Pembrokeshire with the name of Roblinston(now called Robleston). The house was built by William Roblyn in 1600(ish) and he had one daughter, thus the name 'expired'. |
