In the late 1860's or early 1870's, he married a young widow, Mary Toy (or Joy) Trebilcock, née Jose. Mary had a daughter, Martha, born around 1861, and another daughter (or the same one?) named Mary Agnes. In 1891, Martha was employed as Philip's assistant. She was from Gwennap, and was some twenty years younger than Philip. The census enumerator in 1891 listed Philip as deaf.
Philip died in Redruth exactly five months after Queen Victoria, on 21 June 1901, and was buried on the 24th. Mary survived him by only a few months, dying at the age of 60 on 2 April 1902, while staying at Regent Terrace, Penzance with the Robinsons.

Philip and Mary had a daughter:

1.7 JOHN MATTHEW BUNSTER CORIN (1824-1898), named after Araminta's 22-year-old brother, was baptized at Gulval on 11 April 1824. He was a brazier in 1841, and he and his brother Joseph took over the Anchor Foundry at Causeway Head, North Street and High Street, Penzance.
John married Caroline Wearne on 3 June 1848 at Madron, and they had six children. He lived at St Clare Terrace in 1851, at Jennings Lane in 1861.
He purchased the foundry shop at 60 North Street from John Kingston Stevens on 25 April 1863, and is recorded as living there in 1871. In later life, John M.B. Corin became an alderman of the Borough of Penzance.
John and his brother Philip are credited with the invention of the Cornish Cooking Range. They also owned a hulk, which was towed to South Wales and returned with coal.
"Views and Reviews - Penzance", a booklet first published in 1898, has this to say about the Anchor Foundry:
"Messrs J.M.B. Corin and Son, Iron and Brass Founders, Electrical, Mechanical and Sanitary Engineers, Cycle Manufacturers, Ironmongers, Plumbers, Coppersmiths, etc., 60 North Street and 26 High Street.
"The Anchor Foundry at Causeway Head forms one of the chief centres of engineering in Penzance. The proprietors of the Anchor Foundry, Messrs Corin and Son, control an extensive trade as iron and brass founders, general smiths, cycle makers and furnishing and general ironmongers, dating back for at least a century. The business has developed steadily with the times, fresh departments having been added from time to time to meet the growing requirements of the public. During the past six years, more especially, Messrs Corin and Son have not only enhanced the prestige of the foundry but have added to it the business of electrical and sanitary engineers and cycle manufacturers, carrying out all descriptions of electrical installations for lighting, telephones, etc.; and among their achievements in this line they have fitted up the installation of the most westerly electric arc light in England, and have been identified with the only successful telephone installation yet carried out in connection with underground mining operations. In this latter installation the instruments are placed at various levels ranging to a total depth of 2000 feet and running out for a quarter of a mile under the sea. This was a unique achievement, and as the system has now been in efficient working order for over two years it must be pronounced a complete success. Their premises at 60 North Street and 26 High Street are of great extent and contain stocks of builders' furnishing and general ironmongery of all descriptions, stoves, ranges, tin and hollow ware, cutlery, electroplate ware, lamps, edge tools, gardening and agricultural implements, besides engineers' fittings and accessories, plumbers' and gas fitters' requisites, sanitary closets, baths, steam and hot water fitting and engineering shops, plumbing and coppersmiths' shops, etc.; with modern plant machinery and appliances affording every facility for rapid, efficient and economical working. The firm undertake all descriptions of steam and hydraulic engineering, coach and ship smithing, brass, copper and tinplate working, gas fitting and plumbing, the erection of baths and heating apparatus. A notable speciality is the manufacture of the Cornish cooking slabs which the firm export largely to Cornishmen in all parts of the world. In the cycle trade, they are the official repairers to the C.T.C., executing repairs with the greatest promptitude, while they also build cycles of any kind to order and are agents for most of the leading cycle manufacturers whose machines they can supply at the lowest trade quotations. The firm have a reputation for excellence of material, workmanship and finish of all their goods, and reasonable charges. The foundry and works are under the personal superintendence of Mr Philip B. Corin, Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Queen's Prizeman and Gold Medallist, etc."
John Matthew Bunster Corin died on 1 March 1898. His and his wife Caroline's children were:
1.7.1 ALEXINA FITZELLEN BUNSTER CORIN (1849-1929), born on 26 October 1849. She married George Potter Antoine Robinson, a furniture remover of Penzance and London, in a double wedding on the same date as Susan and Edward. (One of the witnesses was Henry Leigh, probably her cousin, son of Sarah Ann Corin.) George had been born in Paddington, Middlesex. In 1881, the couple were living at 99, Market Jew St. By then George described himself as an Oil and Colour Merchant and Grocer. In March 1887 a paid advertisement in the West of England Magazine announced that
G P A Robinson begs to thank his friends and clients for the very liberal share of the local business he has been favoured with during the past three years, and wishes to inform them, and the public generally, that he has now relinquished all connection with shopkeeping and trading business in order to devote the whole of his time to, and give closer attention to, his profession as

George died on 24 October 1906. Alexina died on 21 March 1929 at 6 St Mary's Terrace, Penzance. The couple had issue:
1.7.1.1 GEORGE EDWARD JAMES ANTOINE ROBINSON (1869-19??), born at Penzance on 11 December 1869. He studied medicine at Trinity College, Dublin, completing his studies there in 1896. On 9 September 1902 he married Alice Maud Fox, daughter of John James Fox, a prominent Dublin cigar merchant. As the eldest of his siblings, he was known throughout his life as "Skipper".
In 1907, he and Maud were living at 22 Wollaton Street, Nottingham, subsequently moving to 9 Park Row. During World War I he served with the Nottinghamshire Royal Horse Artillery. He was awarded a Military Cross for his part in the rescue from arduous captivity in the Libyan desert, of nearly 100 British sailors captured by the Turks when their patrol vessel HMS Tara was torpedoed by U35 off Sollum on 5 November 1915. They were handed over to the custody of Senoussi warriors who force-marched them through the desert, eventually incarcerating them in an underground cistern at Bir Hakkim. Word of their plight eventually reached a motorised die.chment operating under the command of the Duke of Westminster more than 100 miles away. In an exploit worthy of the Boy's Own Paper, the rescue column dashed across the desert in Rolls-Royce armoured cars and scouting vehicles, with only the vaguest directions to guide them and two native guides who could not agree where Bir Hakkim was. The 92 captives were close to starvation when they were found, and Dr. Robinson had to use all his medical skills in supervising the distribution of food rations sufficient to satisfy their cruel hunger, but not so large as to over-tax their digestions. They were quickly evacuated to the hospital at Alexandria. He would almost certainly have travelled aboard HMS Tara in her former guise, for before being requisitioned for War service, she was the L&NW Railway steamer Hibernia, ferrying between Holyhead and Dublin where he had studied medicine. All of his subsequent medical career was spent in Nottingham.
George and Maud had issue:
1.7.1.1.1 TERENCE CORIN ROBINSON (1903-1987), born on 14 June 1903. He joined the Royal Navy and rose to command the destroyer HMS Fury which, during the Second World War was deployed off the Libyan coast to bombard positions to the rear of Sollum where his father had earned his Military Cross with the Light Armoured Car Brigade in March 1916. He died at Havant in March 1987, without issue.

1.7.1.5.3 MARY ALEXINA SIMONS (1904-1953), born on 23 April 1904, who married Roy Carlton Harry in 1927. Roy had joined the Royal Naval School at Osborne, where one of his contemporaries was Caspar John, son of Augustus and later knighted as Admiral of the Fleet. His first ship was HMS Iron Duke, and he had a lifelong interest in physical education, representing the Navy at Rugby and eventually commanding HMS Temeraire, the R N School of Physical Training, in Portsmouth. After retiring as a Captain, he directed the National Playing Fields Association in London, commuting daily from Portsmouth. He died about 1971, Alexina having predeceased him on 6 July 1953. They had no issue.
1.7.1.5.4 STELLA MAYNE SIMONS (1906-1993), born on 7 May 1906 at Penzance, married at St. Erth on 3 September 1932 John Myles Kamplay Irwin (1905-1934).

Stella left her home in Malaya when the Japanese invaded in 1941, reaching safety with her two young children in Australia. Stella died on 27 November 1993 at London Bridge Hospital.
1.7.1.6 ALFRED WEARNE ROBINSON (1875-1953) born on 30 November 1875 at 11 St. Michael's Terrace, Penzance (his birth certificate shows his father's occupation then as 'Oil Merchant'). On 7 August 1906 he married at York Street Congregational Church, Dublin, Amy Louise Fox (born 9 October 1873 at 14 College Green, Dublin) daughter of John James Fox, tobacconist (died 21 December 1916), and Mary Anne, nee Looney, and sister of Alice Maud Fox (see 1.7.2.1 above). By 1892, Alfred had joined his father G P A Robinson in business, at a salary of four shillings per month, plus commission on fire insurance sold at 2.5%, and on furniture sold at 1.25%. The family then lived at 20 Regent Terrace, Penzance, and the business traded as "G P A Robinson & Son". When his father died at 5 Alexandra Terrace, Penzance on 24 October 1906, Alf had been married only two months, and was living at "Glen Dhu", Mennaye Rd. in Penzance. The business henceforth traded as "Robinson & Son" and its business card described it as "House Furnishers, Auctioneers, Valuers, Estate & Shipping Agents". The founder is buried in the municipal cemetery. The following year, Alf's brother George, a doctor in Nottingham, advanced some money by way of mortgage secured on the business premises, possibly to enable Alf to repay an earlier mortgage obtained by his late father in March 1905 when he had bought 60 Causewayhead.
Like many young men of his generation, Alfred responded to the call for young men to join the Territorial Army, and enrolled in the Penzance Rifle Volunteers on 28 January 1895, not long after his 19th birthday. His indecision whether to volunteer for service in South Africa was resolved when British forces established supremacy over the Boers in 1901. He rose to Sergeant's rank, and won many prizes for marksmanship, retiring from the TA with a Long Service & Good Conduct medal in 1913. He was a keen and accomplished photographer, and swam daily in the sea throughout the year. In 1917 the business generated an annual profit of £1,007 and Mrs A W Robinson was a partner, her husband Alfred having gone away on military service. At the end of the Great War, he was serving with the recently-formed Royal Air Force at Stonehenge. In May 1940 he was accepted for service in the Local Defence Volunteers in his home town. Both loved music. Amy led the violins in the town orchestra, and Alf taught himself to play the harp. For his services to local music he was admitted a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedd on 30 August 1929, with the title Telenner Kernow (Harpist of Cornwall). Their home for most of their married life was at no.2 (later renumbered no. 18) King's Road, Polwithen, Penzance. Alf died in a Penzance nursing home on 30 June 1953, and Amy died in Brighton on 12 August 1969. Both are buried in Penzance Cemetery. They had issue:
1.7.1.6.1 ARTHUR CORIN ROBINSON (1907-1983), born at Penzance on 12 November 1907. He was educated at King's College, Taunton bwtween 1918 and 1926. He learned to fly while studying at the College of Estate Management in London and before joining his father's business in Penzance. With war threatening in 1938, he took a lead in setting up one of the earliest Air Training Corps units, and offered his business premises as a meeting-place for the first training sessions. He served the Penzance Amateur Operatic Society for more than 25 years, mainly as Stage Manager and latterly as President. Most of his energies were devoted to voluntary work, and he had little appetite for business.
Robinson & Son was sold as a going concern shortly before the business would have attained its centenary in 1978., and the name disappeared with subsequent takeovers. On 4 November 1936 in Penzance he married Joan Smith, only daughter of Alfred Smith, proprietor of another Penzance furnishing business (died 11 September 1946) and Nellie Mabel, nee Conacher,(died 31 January 1956).
