Margaret Robinson

**Margaret Robinson** was the former owner of Robinson House.

Life

Margaret was born on December 5, 1919. Her parents were Albert and Beatrice Robinson. Margaret had a younger sister, Ethel, who was three years younger than her. Margaret and Ethel were very close. They were known for their beauty, with long, thick Brunette hair, Blue eyes and stunning figures. Both the sisters were tall (like their parents). Margaret stood at 5 ft 7 and Ethel was 5 ft 5. The sisters shared a favourite colour: Red. They often wore Red gowns to parties and public occasions, giving them the nickname “The Scarlet Sisters” which they liked. Amongst their beauty, the sisters also had sharp minds; however Margaret was more intelligent and academic, while Ethel was known for her wit and humour. During WW2, their father left to fight in the war and Margaret worked as a Mechanic until 1942, when her sister fell pregnant after an affair with the Groundsman, and Margaret came home to help her mother and Ethel. In order to avoid scandal, Beatrice intended to put the baby in an orphanage. Unwilling to accept this, Ethel ran away with the Groundsman shortly after giving birth before Beatrice could send the baby away. With her younger daughter gone, Beatrice and Margaret became very close. However, in a matter of months in late 1943, they received news that Margaret’s father had died in battle. After this, Margaret and her mother drifted apart, with Margaret eventually leaving to return as a Mechanic. Her mother committed suicide in 1945 and Margaret returned home. Though eager to continue helping in the war, she was now the owner of Robinson House. However, soon the war was over and Margaret was pleased.

She set about finding a husband, as she wanted to have children. Margaret married a man who was 34 when she was 28 in 1947. She soon fell pregnant, but Miscarried twins. Margaret gave birth to a son at the age of 30 in 1948. She became pregnant once more in 1952 at the age of 33, but suffered another Miscarriage. Due to her miscarriages, she was overly protective of her son, Charles. She sheltered him from society and refused to allow him to take part in sports like hunting, in case he get injured. She spoiled him with toys and loved him dearly, and the mother and son were very close throughout his childhood. However, in 1965, Charles (aged 17) got an older French woman named Genevieve pregnant. Genevieve gave birth to son named Tobias. They eloped soon after when Charles turned 18. They had another son, Jack, in 1972, when Genevieve was 41 and Charles was 24. Margaret loved her two grandsons; but despised Genevieve (who was very snobby) and had a tumultuous relationship with her son Charles, who had become snobby like Genevieve (not how Margaret raised him). In 1977, Ethel (Margaret’s younger sister) came knocking on Margaret’s door. Ethel tried getting in touch with Margaret, but Margaret was angry as Ethel leaving was part of what caused their mother’s suicide (along with their father’s death). Ethel had no idea their mother killed herself and had hoped she and their father might still have been alive. Margaret angrily slammed the door in Ethel’s face and told her never to contact her. Jack and his girlfriend at the time, Mandy, had a baby (Casey Griffiths) in 1995. They eloped like Jack’s parents once did. However, Jack’s parents didn’t approve of Mandy, and Margaret disliked Mandy for her bossy nature, but loved her great-granddaughter, Casey; but when Casey’s parents divorced, Margaret saw her great-granddaughter less and less. Eventually, all contact stopped when Jack died of Cancer in 2005. Margaret’s husband died in 1998. Margaret received news in 2002 that her sister Ethel had died, and she never got to say goodbye to her. In 2007, Margaret’s son died. Margaret’s other grandson, Tobias, overdosed in 2015 from drugs.

Death

Margaret grew frail and very skinny during the last couple of decades of her life, while she’d been healthy and plump when she was in her 60’s and 70’s and early 80’s. Margaret died in her sleep at the age of one-hundred and three, unaware that all the Ghosts were with her watching. She finally met the Ghosts when her spirit left her body. They gave her a speech and tried to befriend her; but Margaret quickly zoomed up into the afterlife.
