Title: John Thom/Thomas and Sarah Robertson
Post by: mixedupmob on Thursday 15 March 18 11:11 GMT (UK)
Hi, I am looking for anyone researching the family of John Thom or Thomas and Sarah Robertson. It appears as though they married on 25 April 1851 Scone, Perth, Scotland (source Family Search). Children could be David bc 1867; Sarah bc 1871; John bc 1864, Helen bc 1858; James bc 1855 and maybe Mary bc 1854.
