Hi
Can any one help me find my gt grandmother Jane Robertson, born 1849 in Peterhead, in the 1861 census.
Just recently discovered that her father, James Robertson b 1818 in Peterhead, was admitted to the Royal Lunatic Asylum in 1855, dying their 7 May 1871.
Cant seem to find Jane or her mother Ann Smith anywhere in 1861. Ann Smith was born 24 September 1817 in Portessie and died there 18 September 1904.
Can anyone check to see if Ann applied for Poor Relief after her husband was admitted to the Asylum.
Jane married John Lawrence May in 1867, and appears to have had a good life with him, compared to what must have been a very hard time growing up with a father with mental problems and her family splitting up.
Thanks
Maureen, ( in New Zealand )

Hi Eva
Thanks for looking for me, but dont think that either of your postings are connected to my Jane & Ann, the ages tie in but the places of birth are wrong.
Jane was definitely born in Peterhead, while her mother, Ann was from Portessie in Banffshire.
It seems strange that Jane's younger brothers, John b 1853 & William b 1854 are with their grandparents, John Smith & Mary Sutherland in Portessie in the 1861 census, but not Jane and her mother.
Jane's younger sister, Mary born 1850, was a servant in Portessie, 1861.
So far I just havent been able to find Jane & her mother.
Maureen
