Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: What happened to Mary Ann LOWTHER/ROBSON
« on: Wednesday 29 November 06 15:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi Michael,
I have not resolved what happened to Mary Ann Lowther Robson or her husband John Robson yet. However, there has been some great breakthroughs in these lines. I've located a descendant of John Robson's brother Thomas Robson who left John's son (Thomas' nephew) Joseph Robson 50 pounds in his Will. We've determined it was likely used to finance the family's trip to the U.S. in 1886. I've also been able to confirm John and Thomas' parents John and Margaret Robson as well as some of the other sisters who came to the U.S. Being female, their surnames were not Robson by the time they arrived here.
I've also made some great connections on the Lowther lines, and found where mine fit into the larger tree. I don't have the data in front of me since I am at work but I have Joseph Lowther's line back to his grandparents and then back down some of the other lines...if that makes sense. If you'd like the information I can provide it.
I hope this answers your question. I have not been on to Rootschat in some time. Thanks for reminding me that it's here.
