Hello fellow family history friends,
I`m trying to find out any information I can get, about this somewhat enigmatic  ancestor. She was born in Jedburgh, Scotland, where her father was a school teacher. The family moved to Glasgow c1890. It is believed that Mary trained as a teacher, but was certainly employed as such in a Glasgow school, at the time of the 1901 census, when she was aged 28 and still living with her parents Mary and John Lunn. Thereafter the trail goes cold, but she eventually died in Auchterarder, Perthshire in 1960, aged 88, where it is believed she is buried. Any help with this quest, warmly appreciated.

This sounds very interesting. Keen to hear what you may have about Crookston in Bo`ness or Linlithgow.

Hello,
I`m very interested in your post, as I think I have just traced a link back to the John Wright and Marion Tannahill to whom you refer. As far as I can discover, their children were: Charles 1699, William 1705 (my ancestor - great x 5 grandparent), and Robert 1708 (whom you mention). Very keen to pursue this line of enquiry with you.
Best wishes
Peter

Hello, I`m picking up on this topic, and will work my way through the information, above. My interest is that I am descended from James Anderson Robertson (1853 - 1922), on my mother`s side. I live in Linlithgow, in Scotland. My mother was Mildred Anderson Robertson (1918 - 59). One of her sisters, (the late) Jassamy Stursberg (Anderson Robertson) settled in Vancouver some 50 or so years ago, and her husband Peter Stursberg (journalist) died within the last year aged 101). I do remember an Edward (Teddy) Primrose, who was a regular visitor to my Uncle Kenneth Anderson Robertson`s house in Edinburgh in the 1960s. He was a GP in Brora, Sutherland for some time. My cousins, daughters of Kenneth, were convinced that the Anderson Robertson name would die with them (in due course). so it has been great to discover that the name still lives-on, mainly in BC. I will be keen to weave this into the family history project I`m working on. I`m most grateful to Andrew Page Robertson, who has generously shared the information that he had gathered, and which take the Robertson line back to the late 18th Century in Blairgowrie, Perthshire. Ever onwards with the project . . ..
