What is recorded here
William Robinson is a birthplace in County Westmeath, Ireland. Perhaps a boy named William sat at a kitchen table writing music while rain struck the roof. Maybe he became a colonial administrator because music would not feed a family. Imagine the house is empty now but still holds the shape of his chairs.
Why this person is known: British colonial administrator and musical composer (1834-1897)
