Hi Jacquie..Thank you for that info... I have been looking at your suggested John Robertson to Margaret Jack I had a look on LDS. There are seemingly several in the family, but NO EDWARD...and Census do not seem to bring them up with an Edward. I guess it is possible that they went overseas and left Edward behind, as he is by himself at the age of 20. Any suggestions then, IF I should follow up and accept the Jack.? as to where I might find them.? According to that Marriage you sent, she Margaret, remarried ! But I have nothing on John to say when or where he possibly dies. robbiej ----- Original Message ----- From: <midlothian-request@rootsweb.com> To: <midlothian@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 12:00 AM Subject: MIDLOTHIAN Digest, Vol 4, Issue 171 : : : Today's Topics: : : 1.
