The family company of E. S. & A. Robinson owned a large printing and paper-bag manufacturing site at Bedminster in Bristol.

Crescens Robinson's unusual name was a family name: his uncle Crescens had a firm called "Crescens Robinson & Co" in Islington, London, which acted as an agent for his uncle Philip who was the founder of Robinson & Co in Singapore and later became a lithographic printing company which specialised in fine printing of posters, with London Transport among its customers.

The Eleven Robinsons consisted of Crescens and five of his brothers, augmented by five cousins, all descended from Edward Robinson and directly related to Elisha Smith Robinson, Crescens' most prosperous uncle.
