Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Born on Board Ship
« on: Tuesday 28 August 12 22:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi I know absolutely nothing about William but he must have been born in the seventeen hundreds I only found him via someone else's tree and am just stuck as to where to go now. His son John was born 1814 in St. Cuthberts Edinburgh and was a cabinet maker. I am thinking that they were on the way home to Edinburgh when Mary Ann was born so maybe William was Born in Edinburgh.

Hi Viktoria Thanks for your reply I will try searching for Mary Ann's birth and baptism. Looking at the census again I am wondering if perhaps Paraguay isn't the name of a ship as I have had no luck searching for it  but actually the country Paraguay don't know if this will make my search more difficult. Thanks again.

Hi, Can anyone help me I have found an ancestor Mary Ann Robertson she was born in 1809.  The 1851 census states 'British subject born Spain'. The 1861 census states 'born Bay of Biscay on board  Paraguay. Here mother and father were Ann and William Robertson both born in Scotland. Mary Ann's brother John was born 1814 in Edinburgh so they must have been on there way home.
What I would like to find out if possible have I got enough information to find a passenger list and where could they have been coming from and why did they go.

Regards Dibeau

Midlothian / Re: 1881 census Robertson
« on: Tuesday 17 May 11 15:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi first to answer Carol I cannot find a birth for Nellie so did,nt know her mothers maiden name on her marriage certificate her father William is an upholsterer but by then she was calling herself Ellen.  Then to Ev what is brilliant I went to the library to check if I could link the Jane Lyon marriage to  William Robertson . I have William Upholsterer married to Jane on the 1871 Scotland census , so I looked for Jane Lyon on the 1861 census and bingo her address is the same one as her and William on the 1871 so they must have lived with her parents. My only problem now is finding them on the 1881 census . I now know I have the right family so thanks alot this is a great help.
