Robson Grave, Great Marlow Parish Church

 



Edith Annie Robson, d Dec 17th 1859, age 19 weeks. 

Also - Edith Booth Robson d Feb 16th 1876 age 6 years. 

Notes:

These are the daughters of Marlow doctor, surgeon and apothecary George Rawdon Robson and his wife Ann née Booth of Fingest Grove who married in 1859. (George, a native of Yorkshire, began practicing in Marlow in 1834.) They lived in West Street at first, (at The Old House) though George died in Glade Road in 1891. He started off as a partner to doctor Joseph Sheldon Wilkinson with whom he lived then, but their partnership was dissolved in 1861 when the latter died.  George went bankrupt in 1865 but recovered. He was later in partnership with John Dunbar Dickson.

George was elected parish surgeon for the district of Little Marlow 1857, and later was also responsible for Bisham. 

This grave is leaning a great deal - photographed from a safe distance!
