This is what I found on IGI (extracted records:--

David ROBERTSON and Jane FOWLIS married 2 Jun 1848 (sic) Auchterarder, Perthshire

had the following children all born in Auchterarder, Perthshire

Jane ROBERTSON - born 28 Apr  1845
Margaret ROBERTSON - born 16 Mar 1847
Joseph ROBERTSON - born  11 Nov 1849   
David ROBERTSON - born 14 Aug 1850   
John ROBERTSON - born 22 Jun 1852   

This sure looks like those Moss Siders..... ???

Hi Ambley, I will Look out Eliza's Death cert and look I dont remember there being an address for informant but looked at notes on the FTM file and have put this in ( Note in Margin Forty Two Initialed by Registrar George Simpson , Cause of Death Pepetual Fever 3 Weeks Registered By Mother Jane Robertson )
I will take a look later today, Wish they had remained in scotland, because there is more info on the certificates,
(I think Jane may have died in W. Derby March 1906 Robertson Jane 84 )
and there are certianly the reaccuant family names,
Sorry your going bald but I appreciate the help very much Promise to send you a wig at the end

Oh my Gosh Sybil!!
Is there such a thing as going balder...... :P I can't tell you how many different ways I tried to find that David in 1881/1891...and there he is as large as life!!!!!! A Clever lassie who found him - I was dancing when I saw your message about that.   ;D

My husband always says he likes blondes - but it don't match me eyebrows, so I'll stick to something in Nice n' Easy Shade 120, ta very much  ;D

And a Welsh wife - this may be the stroke of luck you're looking for then....to confirm the name of Moss Side Jane's late husband?

MARRIAGE:
David Drummond ROBERTSON married Sep Qtr 1878 Bedwelty, Monmouthshire Ref: Vol:11a, pg 105 - and one of the brides on same page is Elizabeth Catherine ANTHONY.

Recalling, Drummond was also  the middle name of that Joseph born Chorlton district Manchester 1883, who I think is a) son of John and Martha F.  and b)  the Grandson in Jane's house 1901.

Hi ambly my thoughts exactly on JD and I wonder if her mother is Jane Drummond, only problem is I have not found a Jane Drummond married to a Andrew Robertson,
but I have been in touch with college of surgeons and if he registered with them I an in luck,
Just looked at the death and marriage cert for Eliza, her mother registered her death, she died 15 days after my great grandmother was born my 2x great grandfather did not register the death her mother Jane did  ??? Jane was unable to write and signed with her x mark, the same for the Jane who was witness at the marriage, so pretty sure her mother witnessed the marriage,
the marriage cert states Father Andrew Robertson ( deceased) Farmer.

so given Jane was a witness I am pretty sure that Andrew Is the Fathers Name
as you say the family seem to be well off, so why is Eliza in common Grave,
Eliza and Daniel's Daughter in 1881 is living in Findhorn Morayshire with Her Grandmother Catherine Allan, I don't understand why she was living with a grandmother who is 81, when there is family probably more able to look after her there,  and better off.
but at lest we have got one cracked  ;D unless they to have mysteries to emerge
