  • Notes 
    • OBITUARY

      Ernest Robert ROBINSON was born in 1909 in Palmerston North. Based on Electoral Rolls, Ernest moved from Te Hoe in the Waikato to Wellington in 1935. He initially was employed as a labourer. He was working as a turner, living in Johnsonville, according to the 1946 and 1949 rolls. The 1954 - 1972 rolls show him living in Dominion Park Street, Wellington, employed as a factory worker (1957 & 1963) or cleaner (1969 & 1972). In 1978 he retired to Waitarere Beach. His cremation record lists Ernest's occupation as "Limb Maker", possibly an occupation he continued with part time in retirement. Ernest died in 1987 in Foxton (Purcell Street) and was cremated in Palmerston North.
