Hi Lindy-lou

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,303804.0.html
William Robertson b1819 Tannadice Forfar d 23 Aug 1868 Kirriemuir Angus
married  Helen McGregor b1826 Perth, d 1862 Kirriemuir Angus 
on 26 May 1850 Kirriemuir Angus

Can you tell us:

Was there any information on the 1850 marriage that would be helpful - a farm name, mention of parents, witness?
What was William ROBERTSON senior's occupation (as listed on his son's 1868 death records)
Were both parents of William Jnr   listed as 'deceased' on his death cert (William Jnr was only 49-ish when he died)
Do you have William Jnr on the 1841 Census - any clues?
On William Jnr's death record, did it say for his mother that she was Susan ROBERTSON  m.s. STEWART.
Any ideas on any siblings for William Jnr?
What was the family religion as far as you know it?

Cheers
