He accumulated a sizable property portfolio in the area just to the south of the CBD of Sydney. By 1858, he had four houses in the same street, with a gross annual value of £111. I have not found any names of the properties, just the city rates books.
Rosie99 I have his marriage 4 Jun 1838 at St Mary in the Castle, with his father as Thomas Robins a labourer.
