Robertson major brick wall

[prophetess]

Hi Ambley thanks to your sharp eye spotting David was a Surgeon , a little help from some of the chat group, and an early birthday pressie from my hubby ( findmypast subscription) I have Davids Medical register details, still have not found out where they came from in Perth, but it does look like the family went to Ireland, and that may be where Margaret met and married William ,
David was at Queens University Ireland, qualifying as a Master Surgeon in 1877 so that is why he didn't appear until later, his father in law is also a surgeon and I think that is how he met Elizabeth,
I know David was alive in 1913, I think his mother died in Dalton in 1906, so I think I will have to get a few more certs and write a few letters, to see if I can find more on David, and Hopefully that may lead to finding out where exactly they were from, and enable me to get them back further.
Thanks for all your help

Hi Ambley, 
I was checking stuff for Auchterarder when I came across my Robertson Post,
Thought i would up date you, on the recent findings,
The David Robertson and Jane Fowlis are the Right ones, His name wasn't Andrew at all, they family went to Ireland, my 2 x grt Gran seems to have appeared in england first, ( theory ran away to marry)
the Jeweler John is mine also,
thanks to help in roots 1911 census, and Queens Uni Belfast, who sent me the information on David,

Thought I had better update you, and all the hard work that you put in was not in vain,
Sorry hope your hair has grown back in 

Thank you so very very much 

Will share the gold when i find it

Cor, Sybil!
Wonderful news - thanks for the update - I do like to hear how things go!

I might need that gold to buy that wig after reading all that back now and trying to keep it in a straight line thought-wise    Amazing how it all seems so clear when one's in the searching moment, but try going over it months later and I confused myself 

Cheers

I wonder why 2x Great Gran gave her fathers name as Andrew, Was it, just to , make life difficult for her 2 x Great Grandaughter, and drive her demented?



Well it looks like there was wealth in the family after all Ambley because most of them seemed to have servants, 
I aways knew I had breading in those Gene's
 makes a change from inbreeding

Sybil,

I Cant believe 10months have passed since i posted any news to you Ambly,
I took a trip up to Bridge of Allan to a B&B for two nights last year and went to Blackford and Auchterarder, to see where my Robertsons originally came from,

had a wander round the cemetery in the town in Auchterarder and took a few shots of some headstones, as you do Recently sorting stuff out i looked again at the Auchterarder and Blackford Photos,
and could believe what i had,
 I had found the marriage of David Robertson and Jane Fowlis, also on the 1841 census have David in over Coul as a Farmer and right next to him is Fowlis
and if this is the right Fowlis then this is her parents headstone, got to do a bit of reseach but i have not done any for months

I feel more and more that Eliza was born in Ireland not in Scotland

will keep you posted as i learn more,

Thanks for All the hard work you have done for me

Hi Sybil
The mother of Joseph Drummond Robertson referred to, is the son of my great grand aunt Martha Fanny Steele, Martha being the sister of my great grandmother, Jane Jessie Steele. This Steele family is from Limavady, Northern Ireland.
I have a photograph of Martha and her husband John Robertson which hopefully is attached here.

Hi Grae,
Sorry I have only just seen this post kinda took a break from the tree for a bit and got back into it again, still not 100% sure of the connection it is proving it that's still  my problem but since then I know that my great great grandfather who married Eliza Robertson Died at sea in December 1880

Fingers crossed Beautiful photo
