I did manage to find some of the family on the 1901 Cenus, you may already have this:

30, Britain Street, Portsmouth

Bessie Robinson, Head, aged 29, Born Dorset Abbotsbury

Jack Robinson, Son, aged 8, Born Dorset Abbotsbury

Robert Robinson, Son, aged 6, Born Dorset Abbotsbury

Gregory (Gill) Robinson, aged 2, Born Dorset Abbotsbury

No sign of your greatgrandfather John or great uncle Tom.

I did find a Tom Robinson in Portsmouth

Military Hospital - Female Hospital Lion Terrace

Tom Robinson, Patient, aged 4, Child of soldier, Born Hants Gosport

Maybe this is him and John was a regular soldier and was at the time of the 1901 Census out in South Africa?

I just realised I made a mistake in my previous posting Geoffrey Gill Robinson was actually born in Portsea, Hampshire.

Bessie Gill married John Robinson in the March Quarter of 1892 in the Weymouth Registration District. She was the daughter of Geoffrey and Mary Gill of Roddon Row, Abbotsbury Dorset.

This could be your grandfather's Medal Index Card Details

Robinson, Gregory G

Royal Berkshire Regiment, 44137, Private

Hampshire Regiment, 07941, Private

I notice when I corrected my posting re his place of birth I managed to get his name wrong -sorry!

I couldn't find him in the National Roll of the Great War - Portsmouth.

Have you tried the local Southsea newspapers for any articles in 1914 relating to John and Jack Robinson's deaths?

Regards
