Excerpt from Society and Caste: Edited by T. Edgar Pemberton William robertson, the father of T. W. Robert son, was articled to Mr. Whitson, a lawyer in Derby, but (being a Robertson!) he abandoned the study Of the law, in which he evinced much promise, in order that he might become an actor, and he ultimately found a home in his uncle's Lincoln Circuit Company, of which he afterwards became manager. In this company he met Miss Marinus, a charming young actress, to whom he was married in I 828. They became the parents of a very large family: Thomas William Robertson (born at N ewark upon-trent, Nottinghamshire, on January 9, I 829) being the eldest, and Margaret Shafto Robertson (mrs. Kendal, born at Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire, twenty years later), being the youngest. Almost as soon as they could walk and talk the young Robertsons were made familiar with the mysteries of the theatre, playing children's parts, and in many ways mak ing themselves useful. Constant journeying from town to town, and the waning fortunes of the once profitable Circuit days, rendered their early education a matter of difficulty, but luckily for them their father was a man of high culture, - a constant reader, and a deep thinker, and in him they found the kindest and most earnest of tutors.
