Robertson-Mitchel families

[DavidofLincs]

Pat,

Just a thought - if John Robertson's death certificate in 1877 gives his mother as "Christian Mitchell now Wright", then presumably she was still alive.   The certificate will usually note if a parent is deceased.  So, then you should be looking for her death from 1877 onwards.

i think i may have found her! she is named christina mitchell widow of robert wright.

Looks pretty good to me.  If the death certificate information is correct, then she was born about 1804, but her parents are John Mitchell and Christina Ramage.  This seems to rule out the birth/baptism entry found by Val in Muckhart where the father's name is given as William Mitchel.  Anyway, now you can start looking for a Mitchell-Ramage marriage.

David.

Just searched Scotland People..no marriage for John and Christian..did find a birth for a Christian Ramage 1745 at Alloa ..parents John Ramage and Christian Hunter..
Only marriges for Christian Ramage
1765 to William Hunter Alloa.
and to James Bowie in 1812 at Dollar.
