Robeson was born in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, the only son of William Henry Robeson.

[5] After a curacy at Bray, Berkshire from 1857 to 1862, he was vicar of Forthampton, Gloucestershire until 1874, then vicar of Mildenhall, Suffolk until 1877. [6] Later in his career, he was vicar of Tewkesbury from 1877 to 1892, then Archdeacon of Bristol from 1892 to [7] 1904, and finally Archdeacon of North Wilts from 1904 to 1909. [8]

His children included at least three sons: Arthur (the eldest), and Herbert (third son), both born during his incumbency at Forthampton, also went up to Oxford. [2]

He died on 16 June 1912.
