Hi looking for anything on a George Robertson printer & composer in jedburgh born 1861-2 in jedburgh,

 gilbert

Living at 55, Castlegate, Jedburgh in 1871 with parents and two siblings;

James Robertson 33, Painter, b Jedburgh 
Mary Robertson 33, b Jedburgh 
George Robertson 9 Scholar, b Jedburgh   
William Robertson 5  b Jedburgh 
Margaret Robertson 3  b Jedburgh 
 
Jedburgh; ED: 4; Line: 10;

[kennyg]

Interestingly, in 1881 he's listed as a Printer Compositor and he and the two siblings listed above are boarding at 56 Castlegate with 73 year old Margaret Elliot.

ED: 3; Line: 17

[kennyg]

By 1891 he's married and living at 8 Exchange, Jedburgh with wife Janet, a 13 year old Margaret Robertson (although I believe this to be a mistranscription - I think she's 3) and a 1 year old Mary Robertson, both listed as daughters.  He's still listed a Printer Compositor.

Also in the house are 68 year old Margaret Hunter, born Ancrum and shown as Grandmother and William Mein, a 37 year old Boarder, a skinner by profession.

ED: 2; Line: 25

And in 1901 he's now 59 and living "behind 8 Exchange" with a 22 year old Housekeeper, Margaret Hunter and his 11 year old duaghter Mary.  Still a Printer Compositor.

ED: 2; Line: 17

Hope you have fun filling in the gaps!
