Nicol(e) WILSON c 1727, a Collier, & Margaret FINLAYSON c 1731 When they had their children Baptised they were living Gladsmuir Parish, East Lothian , Scotland. Children; Elizabeth 1753, William 1755, George 1761, Francis 1763, ( there is mention of him in the Kirk Session Records, a Paternity situation,) Catherine 1766, Christian 1768 Janet 1770, My line is Janet. She married John KING a Collier, in Gladsmuir 1791. I think that the parents of Nicol(e) senior, were Nicol Wilson & Marion HOGG. However, I cannot see where I found that. Looking for anyone researching any of the above families.

This is a long shot, but here goes. I've been searching for my g grandparents, Archibald Dickson, b. abt. 1820 in Scotland. I found an Archibald Dickson in the 1841 Scottish Census living with his parents, Andrew Dickson and Janet Thomson in East Lothian Whittinghame. I found on the LDS site an Archibald Dickson, b. Dec. 24, 1820 East Lothian, in Whitekirk to Andrew Dickson and Janet Thomson...so the date of Archie's birth is abt. right. My g grandfather Archibald Dickson md., an Isabella (unknown). Archibald and Isabella had three children in Scotland before coming to America in abt. 1849/1850. In the Scot census of 1841 where I found my Archibald living with Andrew Dickson...the household also shows an Isobel (same age as Archibald) and a 3 wk. old infant. I'm hoping that this is their first child, John who was b. abt. 1840/1841, and a George, age 15 (probably Archibald's brother. Archibald and Isabella Dickson had two morw children while in Scotland, Adam, b. Aug. 24, 1845 and Annie, b. Apr. 1848. Lynne, you are the first person I saw to post on a Dickson Line from the East Lothian Area so I had to take the shot to see if any of my Dickson line may ring a bell. Thanks for reading my email.

Hi, I had a look at the 1881Census for your Robertsons, without much success, I am afraid. One suitable William, b 1801, b.Dunbar, retired clothier, (could have changed his profession.) He was widowed, had servant catherine Barclay, 62yrs, at 2 Delisle St Dunbar. Looked for the children, boys mainly and found these two. George Bishop Robertson, b 1833, 48yrs, Manure Merchant, b Dunbar, wife Eleanor, 42 yrs, born Blairgowrie, Perth, at 1 Windsor St Edinburgh Greenside. James, 45 yrs a slater, b Dunbar, wife, Mary 43, b Dunbar. Kids Peter 15, b Dunbar Nathaniel, 13, b Edinburgh Richard 11, Edinburgh Mary 9, Edinburgh Martha 7,Edinburgh Agnes 5, b Dunbar Helen 15, Dunbar James 3 mths Dunbar. Hope this helps, as altogether there were 18, 468 Robertsons in the area! regards, Yvonne Riley Jones wrote: >Hi listers > >Just wondering if anyone with access to the 1881 census CD would be able >to do a lookup for me for the following family? > >This is the information from the 1841 census, so it is likely that >William Robertson snr would be dead (or 90 years old!).

Hi listers Just wondering if anyone with access to the 1881 census CD would be able to do a lookup for me for the following family? This is the information from the 1841 census, so it is likely that William Robertson snr would be dead (or 90 years old!). Some of the girls would no doubt be married and possibly have different surnames, too. ROBERTSON William M 50 Blacksmith East Lothian ROBERTSON William (Junior) M 15 Apprentice Blacksmith East Lothian ROBERTSON Jane F 10 East Lothian ROBERTSON Ann F 9 East Lothian ROBERTSON George M 7 East Lothian ROBERTSON James M 6 East Lothian ROBERTSON Helen F 5 East Lothian ROBERTSON Elisabeth F 3 East Lothian ROBERTSON Thomas M 1 East Lothian STENHOUSE Helen F 30 East Lothian In 1841 they were all living in Dunbar Burgh, at the foot of Silver Street. I have Helen Robertson's census details, who married a William Robb in 1859, and is my ggg-grandmother, but I am interested to see what happened to her siblings (and parents, if possible). Thanks for any assistance! Riley Jones Melbourne, Australia
