Do you have a copy of his marriage certificate?? It should give you his fathers name and occupation and William's age a time of marriage.

I do have a little that may help.......1891 census Ipswich - Suffolf.....Matilda's Dewhurst family.........Father Alfred aged 31yrs.. a chimney sweeper.
mother Elizabeth, aged 28yrs
Matilda 8yrs scholar
William 7 yrs
Emma 5yrs
Eliza 3yrs
Helen 1yrs
There are so many William Robinson's and without an age to go by it is very difficult to trace him.
A copy of or a transcription of the marriage would be the best starting point, to make sure you are tracking the correct family.
A copy can be purchased through
GRO UK at www.gro.gov.uk
or
