Robertson dead end?

[crobertson]

there is one thing, if I get this tree sorted properly at least 'my' son Andrew should know which Andrew is which.

I printed out the tree I had last night and let him count all the ancestors who shared his name!

  Tell him that is Scottish ancestry...the repetition of special names! (Don't mention the nightmare of figuring them all out!).

have just checked a few details - definately same family. This Andrew has gone through some professions, obviously able to turn his hand to a few things to bring the pennies in - ironstone miner, coal miner and joiner - all verified on scotlands people and not just ancestry which I know can be dodgy with the transcription.

Though on all those cenus' his year of birth has varied. 1823 - 1829 shown on census, but place of birth remained constant.

I've just realised that this topic is about 3 years old, and crobertson hasn't been signed in for about the same length of time.

I am connected to this family, so have now PMed about my living Robertson and other family connections in New Cumnock!  I also PMEd MonicaL by mistake - I think it's time I went to bed!

Still at a dead end with this...STILL. Been getting help from a local family history society and they are stumped also
