Thanks for that, Yvonne! Looks like I've got much more searching to do... Speaking of which, does anyone know if the 1851 census is available on CD? -----Original Message----- Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2004 20:24:15 +1000 From: Yvonne Morrow <morrow@powerup.com.au> To: SCT-EAST-LOTHIAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SCT-EAST-LOTHIAN] 1881 lookup for ROBERTSON 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:
