I have traced my Orwin family back to Robert Orwin who was born 22 March 1828 in Bermondsey, London. His father was also a Robert and his mother was Sarah Freeman of Frindsbury in Kent. Robert and his father were both Millers as were his mother's family the Freemans. I am trying to find out where Rober Orwin sr came from, he died before the 1851 census. The family left London and eventually ended up in Hull,E.Yorkshire, Robert Orwin jr worked as a Miller in Bishop Wearmouth, Sunderland and in Lincolnshire. Is there maybe a connection with the Orwins from Bishop Wearmouth and has anyone else found any Millers in their Orwin family?
If anyone has any useful information then please let me know.
kind regards, Debra
