Evening folk's another ancestor I can find almost nothing about is my Gtx3 Grandfather
George Robertson,I can guess there's a Scottish connection but all I know is that he lived
in Newcastle around pilgrim street and is listed in directories and a book as a bookbinder,
his two children were Baptised in all Saints church in the town in the 1820's one Lydia ann
was my Gtx2 a big help in finding this line of my family is that they used the maiden name
of their mother's as the middle name of their children,Lydia's second son was James Frazier
Smith so I checked marraiges and found a George Robertson marrying an ann Frasier in Ryton on tyne a couple of years before their first child Margaret was born around 1823,george "disappear's
around 1838,just wondered if any armchair detectives could shed any light on these people.
Regard's Steve.

Afternnon folk's just giving this post a "bump" to see if fresh eyes can turn anything up,George just dissappears before the 1841 census not sure of ann's marital status in 1841,as far as Thomas Frazer is concerned I have drawn a complete blank.
