She had a child Adam ROBISON/LAUDER to Adam LAUDER who was born 21 Oct 1861 at Glenae Lodge, Tinwald, Dumfriesshire. I don't think Margaret Jardine ROBISON and Adam LAUDER were married. This Adam is "mine". I don't know if this is what you are looking for. Cheers Liz Rigby lizr@chariot.net.au South Australia
