Title: Agnes Robertson b1845
Post by: yvonnwll on Monday 02 May 11 06:29 BST (UK)

Can anyone help me find this family?  Agnes Robertson b 1845 in Clackmannon, daughter of David Robertson, born Greenock and Margaret?    Agnes was two years old when they arrived in Australia and she married in Tasmania, Australia in 1863.  Also in attendance at the wedding was William Robertson, maybe a relative.

Hi yvonnwll,

Welcome to Rootschat!!    :)

I don't seem to be able to find the birth of Agnes Robertson on the IGI (http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/frameset_search.asp)

There are 2 Agnes Robertsons listed (father David, mother Margaret)

1. Agnes Robertson born 29th November 1844, christened 27th December 1844, Johnstone, Paisley, Renfrewshire.
(Mother's maiden surname Eddie)

2. Agnes Beveridge Robertson born 18th October 1846, New Monkland, Lanarkshire.
(Mother's maiden surname Wilson)

Do you know if your Agnes born in the village of Clackmannan or the county of Clackmannanshire?
