Thanks for responding Shyama. Doesn't look like we have any link up. My Robertson family originally came from Berwick on Tweed, Northumberland, and it appears that they moved to Edinburgh sometime between 1868 and 1871. Just in case - here are my Robertsons....... William Robertson, my great grandfather, (his father: Adam) married Isabella Scott (her father, also an Adam) in Berwick on Tweed on Apr 10, 1857. Their children: Adam Robertson b about 1859 in BuT Alexander Roberston b about 1865 in BuT William Robertson b about 1868 in BuT James Robertson B Dec 1871 in Edinburgh ( my grandfather) Bella Robertson, b about 1875 in Edinburgh Mary Jane Robertson b about 1878 in Edinburgh On the 1881 census, they all lived at 6 Sunnybank Place, South Leith, Edinburgh. Keep in touch though, you never know!! Dawn.
