The Rachel you mention in Detroit was married to John Robertson (my grandfathers Uncle) who died inwe believe in a mine at Greensburg,Westmoreland in Pennsylvania. I haven't been able to get his death cert but someone in PA might be able to from the registrar. It would be helpful to find the proof.

Do you have a date for the death of John Robertson?

I was wondering if there may have been an entry in a newspaper if John was in an accident?

 Hi Annie, I did ask and tried to find out from the Greensburg library but they said they didn't have those dates ...thats why they suggested the registrars records ....just hope someone can help.   I see Williams great x2 granddaughter on here maybe someone in the family  may know when John died or Rachel married someone else before she married Adrian, but I'm fairly sure she was a widow after 1905. I have Census for John ,Rachel and family from when they were still in Scotland and other official records...M
