Morris Robinson, 3rd Baron Rokeby

Morris Robinson, 3rd Baron Rokeby (14 July 1757 – 10 May 1829), was a British politician.

Early life Robinson was born on 14 July 1757 and was baptised in the parish of St Andrew Holborn. He was the eldest son of Jane ( Greenland) Robinson and Morris Robinson, an attorney of the Six Clerks Office in Chancery of London. His paternal aunt was the reformer Elizabeth Robinson Montagu (who married Edward Montagu, grandson of the Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich). His maternal grandfather was John Greenland, of Lovelace, Kent. The barony had been created in 1777 for Lord Archbishop of Armagh Richard Robinson, the Lord Primate of All Ireland, who had also inherited the English baronetcy of his eccentric elder brother Sir Thomas Robinson, 1st Baronet.

Personal life Lord Rokeby died at Thornby, near Leyburn, York in May 1829, aged 71. He was unmarried, but had one illegitimate son, so was, therefore, succeeded in the barony by his younger brother, Matthew, an admirer of Pitt, who had adopted the surname of Montagu.
