Hi there.
At last someone else who is searching for informationa about the McCrobens!
William Henry McCroben b.1826 in Bradford is my 3x great-grandfather. He married Annie Needham and had eight children, the first of them Henry b.1854. Annie left him around 1880 and went with her children to Manchester, and at some point their names got changed from McCroben to Robens. William died in Bradford in 1896.
The fact that the name is uncommon makes it quite easy to find information about them, but it is often misspelled and can therefore be very confusing!
I have managed to trace the McCrobens back to William's grandfather who would have been born around 1775-1780, and would be happy to share this information with you.
