Alexander Robertson
« on: Sunday 30 August 09 15:02 UTC (UK) »
I am trying to get information about Alexander Robertson who was born at Broadford Skye.
In the 1891 Campbeltown census he is aged 33 years and he is a fisherman.
In the 1881 Campbeltown census  he is aged 24 years and he is a fisherman.
That is the only information I have.
Can anyone help?

Have you had a look at his marriage entry to Janet Hattan in 1876 to see what he says about his parents?

There is one possible birth entry showing for Alexander on IGI at www.familysearch.org

ALEXANDER ROBERTSON  Birth: 11 APR 1857 Strath, Inverness
Parents:DUNCAN ROBERTSON    and PEGGY MAC DONALD

Strath was the old parish name for Broadford www.ambaile.org.uk/en/item/item_photograph.jsp?item_id=38097

Frank, as Nel recommends, the best place for you to start your research on Alexander is by viewing his marriage entry on line at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk This will let you confirm that you are following the correct lines  Smiley
