What became of Rosamond Lucy Robertson birth registered Jul-Aug-Sep 1889?

ah, OK. However I was thinking of a broader approach - like Ancestry's Passenger lists ..... worth a look before you purchase that Cert .....

I've just Googled Rosamond Lucy Robertson up came this link.  Doesn't solve the problem of what happened to her, but interesting, nevertheless ... (see p.202)

If a posh family, then parents likely to have left wills. And they canbe a great way to find married names of daughters, or what happened to offspring generally.

I can see this probate index entry for a Robert Bowen Robertson  - but widow has different name and estate os not sizeable, so Iam not sure it is her Dads.
Do you know when and where her parents died?

Probate index entry
Robert Bowen Robertson of Hilbury Chandlers Ford Hampshire died 23 Dec 1919 Probate to Kate Annie Robertson widow Effects £456

[lizdb]

Her mother died in 1907! ( cant be with her in 1911 then)

Probate index entry
Amy Blanche Caroline Robertson of Berkely House Limpney Stoke near Bath (wife of Robert Bowen Robertson) died 14 Aug 1907 Probate John Jones Lewis solicitor Effects £12010, 14s 5 d

So a large estate there.

Hello Lizdb

You have the correct family.  Robert Bowen Robertson married twice.  His first wife and mother of the children died aged 40.  Robert next married Kate Annie Thomas daughter of the well respect Swansea doctor Jabez Thomas. 

Robert had been declared bankrupt previously but had subsequently paid all his creditors with an annual interest.  This may well account for his diminished circumstances.

So, his Will may well name his daughters - thus confirming if Rosamund is still a Robertson at the time he wrote it.

Worth getting a copy I would say.

Very good point Lizdb

I do not think I have found anything new but Rosamond seems to have a rather bland set of records consisting of the 1891-1911 censuses.  The most interesting one is the 1891 Census where she is enumerated with her French born British mother and Sir John A Morris her Grandfather. Rosamond's parents married in the Swansea area 1885. Another source of reference for the better off BMD is the London Times which I do not subscribe to.
