Perthshire / Robertsons in Kirkmichael, Perthshire
« on: Saturday 09 April 16 23:55 BST (UK) »
Looking for help in researching Duncan Robertson, born about 1803 in Kirkmichael, Perthshire, according to 1841, 1861 and 1871 census. I have been unable to locate his death certificate on SP. I have been trying to go back a generation on this Robertson line, and have hit a brick wall.
Duncan Robertson and his spouse Betty Stewart and their 6 known children lived in the Strathardle area of Perthshire , settling in “Persie” by 1861. Researching other Robertsons in the area who may have been related has been difficult as the records seem to be dispersed among three different administrative units - Kirkmichael parish, Perthshire, Alyth, Angus, and Persie, Perthshire.
Known records:

Death record: not found. Tried Persie post 1871 on SP.
His son James Cameron Robertson became a stone mason. May be related to a Charles Robertson, mason from Strathardle area.
