Stirlingshire / Re: Robertson family.
« on: Thursday 05 January 17 23:26 GMT (UK) »
Hello Ally, have managed to get back as far as John Robertson b 1834 Stranraer no birth certificate
though, so there's the brick wall. Have a few certificates for his son John Robertson before and after Stirling.
He would be my 2nd great uncle, I am aware he lost two of his daughters Isabella and Jemima (sadly) very young, the last son I believe? was born 1914.
Roots chat has a rule we can't PM each other till you make three posts I think?
Glad to help if I can, as I have had tons of help from others.
Brosie.

agree with j m Strachan here, the military search looks the best option. Find my past, may throw a connection up, there is a john henry mcnab Chelsea pensioner born Armagh 1886.

Charles was born 1901 he was a shipright, fathers name was George explosive worker foreman, as many of my family were. Sorry no sign of any Frews yet. Family story goes, a signal was picked up at Valentia island Ireland from SS Beaverdale that the Blairgowries steering gear had gone, I suspect the weather was really bad and these ships would have no other means of steering. (poor souls)
