Emrie I had a look at the birth index on Scotlands People, and the Elizabeth ROBERTSON born in 1797 in Caputh (whom Peter mentioned in his earlier email) was the daughter of Charles ROBERTSON and Cathrine CAMRON. Since Elizabeth and John's second son was named Charles, there is a fair possibility that this was your Elizabeth (second son named after the wife's father being a Scottish custom which was not always followed, of course). Unfortunately, parish records are unlikely to have included the name of the bride's mother. There is a better chance of them including the names of fathers, but this was by no means always the case. Sometimes all you get are the names of the bride and groom. This all changed with the introduction of statutory registration in 1855. The Scotlands People birth index shows 6 children born to a Charles ROBERTSON and Catharine CAMRON in Caputh between 1797 and 1809. Elizabeth 1797 John 1799 Margaret 1801 Peter 1806 Cathrine 1808 Cathrine 1809 (the first Cathrine must have died) Rhoda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emrie LaBarge" <emrie_labarge@yahoo.com> To: <PERTHSHIRE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 12:14 PM Subject: [PERTHSHIRE] Robertson and Brown > Elizabeth Robertson married John Brown in Caputh in 1825.
