Dorothy Robertson Thomson ms Turnbull
« on: Wednesday 23 November 16 20:32 GMT (UK) »
Looking for any census info about Dorothy in 1891 and 1901. She was born in Glasgow in 1837. Grateful for help about any family still with her on these dates.
She married James Thomson in 1863 but he died in 1885 or so according to family letter.

thank you

If she married in Scotland her parents names and mothers maiden name will be on the marriage cert
