Hi Jan   Daniel Robertson married 1.Agnes Spottiswood 1831 Daniel that I found in Old Macher would have been 5 years old.  2.Elizabeth Milne 1839 3.Margaret Diack 1851   is this correct??   I found a Daniel Robertson born to William Robertson and Isabel McKay on 30 Mar 1825 in Old Macher,Aberdeen,Scotland   I found a John Robertson with parents named Daniel Robertson and Mary Milne. John was born on 16 Jan 1846 in Old Macher.   Daniel Robertson(age 25) is listed on the 1851 freecen as unmarried with his son John and his mother(Daniel mother) Isabel/Isobel. Now,this Daniel (age 15 ) is also listed on the 1841 FreeCen as living with his mother Isobel and also with Barbara,James and Robert which are his siblings.   I know that the LDS site shows Elizabeth Milne as married to Daniel?? Also,I should point out that I found that Daniel Robertson married Margaret Diack that it list that they married in Old Macher,Aberdeen and in St.Nicholas,Aberdeen on 19 Jun 1852.   As far as I can find on Daniel Children 1.John Robertson born 16 Jan 1846 to Daniel Robertson & Mary Milne 2.Mary Diack Robertson b. 22 Jan 1854 to Daniel Robertson & Margaret Diack 3.Helen Robertson b.30 Apr 1839 to Daniel Robertson and Elizabeth Milne       Here: Daniel Robertson would have been abt.13 years of age to have a child b.1839.   I hope I gave you enough information but you might have it already.   Could your Daniel be from Ireland because he would have been much older to have married Agnes.     Vicki --- On Sun, 12/13/09, Jan Lannan <janlannan@hotmail.com> wrote: From: Jan Lannan <janlannan@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [ABERDEEN] MILNEs To: aberdeen@rootsweb.com Date: Sunday, December 13, 2009, 1:52 AM Hi Ray, Thank-you for your reply; my direct connection is James ROBERTSON & Martha AITKEN. On their marriage certificate it shows James parents as Daniel ROBERTSON & Agnes SPOTTISWOOD. I have been unable to find a birth certificate for James but I do have a copy of Daniel’s & Agnes marriage in 1831unfortunately this does not show parents (not uncommon); they are my gg gparents. I have been unable to find any other information on them and wonder if they (or Agnes) may have died young and Daniel remarried. I have started looking at other entries for Daniel ROBERTSON hoping for a connection and Elizabeth MILNE was one I have pursued as on James wedding certificate the witnesses are George MILNE and James MILNE.  I think it has become a question of elimination in the hope I may stumble on that elusive piece of the puzzle. I am trying to track using naming patterns hoping that will shed light but up to now have had no success; ROBERTSON itself is such a common name…….. Thank-you for the other suggestions will look closely at them and continue the search. Regards, Jan                           _________________________________________________________________ A world FIRST in property search has arrived!

Hi Vicki, thank-you for your reply; yes I do have most of this information. Ray Hennessy kindly sent me much of this, it now remains to try and connect any links if possible. The one thing I have been able to confirm is James ROBERTSON was my G grandfather, on his marriage certificate it shows his parents as Daniel ROBERTSON and Agnes SPOTTISWOOD. I have been able to find Daniel and Agnes' marriage cert on Scotlands People but shows no further information; they married in 1831, so assuming the information on James marriage cert is correct that confirms his parentage. I cannot find a birth cert or a death certificate for James; he married Martha AITKEN in 1866. I have been checking other marriages for both Daniel and Agnes on the assumption they may have died but with no success. A Daniel ROBERTSON married Elizabeth MILNE in Feb 1839 they had one child, Helen in Apr 1839 and I have since found a death cert for Daniel in 1840 so have put aside. He may be a relative. The timing is about right for him to have married a 2nd time, Agnes could have died and he remarried but it is all conjecture. I am looking at all James ROBERTSON's born in the period abt 1830ish to 1840 or thereabouts. Also Daniel ROBERTSON's in the range of 1790 to 1810 but OPR's are not easy and have had very little success but have eliminated quite a few. Will keep trying. Thank-you for your interest.
