| Notes |
- 1834 to 1843 - Lived on Grove Street, Fisherrow, Musselburgh, Scotland. Manufactured herring nets.
Emigrated to Canada sometime between 1843 and 1845.
Purchased John LeBreton's mills at Britannia.
It is a curious coincidence, that in 1834, Mr. NG Robinson an English gentleman who has been for some time resident in this parish without any communication with Mr. Paterson also completed a similar invention differing however in this that his machinery forms a knot of quite another description. He has already six looms in operation and meditates a considerable extension of his manufactory. He has also erected a machine for spinning and at this and the present number of looms 23 hands are employed and 14 tons of hemp annually manufactured.

About 1834 Mr NG Robinson an English gentleman who had been resident for some time in the parish succeeded in a similar invention without having any communication with Mr Paterson It differed in the mode of forming the knot and thereby escaped the patent Mr Robinson continued the manufacture of nets for some time here and we believe net making under his patent is at present in operation somewhere about Greenock.

As reported in the "Ottawa Advocate & Packet" - "A public meeting was held at Doran's (Dorion's) Hotel on Tuesday, Decemebr 1st, 1845, and on the motion of Augustus Keefer - seconded by William Stewart that Nelson G. Robinson be called to the chair - to consider the following motion: That application be made at the next session of the Provincial Legislature to incorporate a Company to be called "The Bytown and Britannia Railroad Company", with the usual powers and privileges."
9 October 1851 - Bytown and Prescott Railway - Turning the First Sod
The building of the first railway created a great deal of interest in Bytown and the Bytown Packet of 11 October 1851 carries this account of the ceremony to turn to first sod.
"On Thursday last, the 9th instant,was witnessed the very novel, and to the people of this section of Canada, most interesting ceremony of breaking ground on the line of the Bytown and Prescott Railroad. The day was as beautiful as could be desired, and an immense concourse of people were congregated to witness the proceedings. Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon the Procession, in the following order, formed in front of the Railroad office in Rideau Street, and from thence proceeded down Sussex Street to the place selected for the important operation:-
His Worship the mayor and Members of the Town Corporation.
Directors and Officers of the Railroad Company.
The Hon. Mr. Justice Burns and the President of the Railroad Company.
The Sheriff of the County and other Officials.
The Grand Jury.
Cadets of Temperance, in Regalia.
Sons of Temperance, in Regalia.
The President of the Company delivered an address, and then taking the spade proceeded to break ground, and tossed the first sod in first-rate style, amid the shouts and cheers af assembled thousands.
Justice Burns addressed the audience, congratulating them upon the prospect presented of so great and desirable an undertaking being carried forward. Judge Armstrong being called upon, congratulated all present on the occasion of breaking ground, in commencing a work of so great importance; and in a short but very happy and humorous speech, referred to some of the advantages that would result from it. G.B. Lyon, Esq. M.P., next spoke, complimenting the taxpayers, who had assented to their Municipality subscribing largely on behalf of the enterprise. They were all shareholders indirectly, and were interested in its success. Speaking in the open air, or on the subject of Railroads was not his field, and Railroads were not his politics. He wished the undertaking success.
The President returned thanks to the Sons of Temperance, complimenting them in the highest terms; which was replied to on the part of the Sons and cadets by Mr. Hewitt.
The Sons presented a highly creditable appearance both as regards numbers and respectability - and we were particularly pleased with the interesting and fine dsplay made by the cadets.
Mr. Bell, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Friel being called upon, addressed the audience, and the proceedings closed.
Precisely at 7 o'clock a large party of gentlemen of the town sat down to dinner given by the President and Directors at Doran's. To say that the dinner was at Doran's is a sufficient description of the of the manner in which it was got up, and of the excellent quality of the viands - to state that it was got up in Doran's best style is to say all we can in praise of the eatables and wines. The President of the Company, Mr. MacKinnon, presided - supported on the right by Mr. Justice Burns, and on the left by Captain Ford, Royal Engineers. The Mayor of the town acted as Vice. On the removal of the cloth, after ample justice had been done to all the good things, toasts were given from the chair.
(There then follows a description of the toasts.)
A number of jovial songs were sung in the course of the evening by different members of the company, and that heartiness and good humour which the best of champagne and wines of every description, together with the auspicious events which the Company met to celebrate, were calculated to inspire, prevailed throughout."
1851 Census - "Nelson G. Robinson and his wife Grace lived in a frame house. Occupation - carding mill and factory, three employees with 250 pounds invested, and attending sawmill, both water-powered, two employees with 200 pounds invested. 1500 yards manufactured of his own cloth, 1400 yards of flannel."
1860 to 1861 - Deputy Reeve of Nepean. - At a special meeting of the Nepean Council on August 14, 1860, Nelson was authorized to make necessary preparations to meet the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) when in Ottawa. The Prince of Wales laid the cornerstone of the first Parliament Buildings in Canada.
1861 - Chairman and secretary of the Union Church.
1862 to 1863 - Reeve of Nepean.
In March 1875, at the time of his wife Grace's death, Nelson George lived on Richmond Road.
A Brief History of Britannia Heights/Queensway Terrace North
The story of our community begins along the south and east sides of the early thoroughfares in the area. Originally part of Nepean Township, the community began growing along today's Pinecrest Road, Richmond Road and Carling Avenue. This, the oldest part of the community, was part of Britannia Heights, a community located on the high ground overlooking Britannia Village.
Public records show that in 1879 our community was titled to four individuals. They were William Hughes, W.R.Bell, N.G.Robinson and James Magee.
