Are you certain the 1881 death you found is the right one? I viewed a death registration at ScotlandsPeople for a Margaret Robertson, widow of John Robertson, journeyman mason, who died at the age of 86 in South Leith on 5 Aug 1881 and she was the daughter of Walter and Margaret Jack. I didn't see any other Margaret Robertsons who died in 1881 listed there.

I am seeking a marriage of John Robertson ... possibly born around the late 1700 to early 1800's, who supposedly married a Margaret More (Moore ?) who was born South Leith Scotland UK in 1793 and died South Leith 1881. I have their son, Edward born 1821 on whose death certificate it states that his parents were the above, and also have Edward's baptism, verified by a friend at the Edinburgh Research Centre, as being born 11th and baptised 15th Feb 1921 at the St James' Episcopal Church, Constitution Street, Leith, Scotland. I have no data what so ever on these two., Without this I can not get further back in my Family Tree. The only information I have in connection with them, is Edward the son, aged 20 in a census of : Salamander Street, Leith South Ecclesiastical Parish.... (ROBERTSON Edward aged 20, Bottlemaker Appren .. Midlothian ) with a Robt and Jane Mason and Thomas Henderson. I realise that data from before 1855 is difficult to find, and also from this Church, But someone out there may just come across it of have them in their Tree. Any help would be appreciated. robbiej
