Robertson and Stewart

[bairn359]

Aye i'm now thinking the father was Robert and maybe Donald was the error rather than Margaret's maiden surname which has been consistent albeit from one source

11 Oct 1796 Donald Robertson
09 Aug 1798 James Robertson
19 Nov 1800 Alexander Robertson
06 Nov 1802 Isobel Robertson
28 Jun 1806 Charles Robertson
20 Oct 1808 Janet Robertson
15 Jul 1811 Robert Robertson
25 Jun 1813 Margaret Robertson

Hmmm this seems to be the children of Robert Robertson and Margaret Stewart from familysearch and their all baptised Blair Atholl. Interestingly first child called Donald so Robert's father's name may account for the possible error.

No Mary although there's a gap about 1804

In the 1851, 1881 and 1891 census Janet's birth place is given as Killin
In the 1861 and 1871 census her birthplace is given as Loch Tay

Och i dunno i think i'm losing the plot i'm imagining barmy theories like maybe they were visiting relatives when Margaret had Janet at Killin and baptised her back home at Blair Atholl their home parish lol

So the source of Killin is from census data?  But surely that would suggest they grew up there not necessarily born there?

The missing Mary from that family worries me too.

Can I suggest you pm MonicaL and ev they are darn good with these kind of puzzles.  especially where there is conflicting data.

Also they have access to other sites like A*****y which might prove useful.
