I am seeking information please on the family of General George Garth (1733-1819). According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Garth refers) he died in Beverley Yorkshire in 1819. My ancestor Anne Robinson (nee Randall) appears to have been living in Beverley at the time and it seems that the general adopted one of her children who became Lieutenant George Garth Robinson (he was probably born in 1795, and served in the 31st Regiment. I do not know much about Ann other than that she married Robert Robinson in Great Yarmouth in 1782 and that she died in Great Yarmouth in 1841. According to the 1841 census she was born outside Norfolk. It seems that the General left Anne Robinson a large legacy, so I wonder whether Anne is related to the Garth family somehow or if there is another reason for the legacy.

Regards
Peter
