Sharp from West Lothian
« on: Saturday 13 November 10 21:21 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find details of a distant relation, Robina(Binney) Sharp, born around 1825 in Bathgate Linlithgow area. She married a John Bertram, b Dunsyre c1825, in Glasgow 23/6/1849. Most details for her are from census records, but can,t find mention of her birth details or death details. They had 3/4 children , Margaret b1850 Glasgow, John b1852 Glasgow and my link Agnes(Binney) Bertram b15/6/1855 Glasgow. Another child who died.?

Hi Gerry,
I had a look for your Robina on the IGI records.

www.familysearch.org the only Robina i could find was

Robina Sharp.
born 21st July 1822 Kirkcudbright,Scotland
father     William Sharp.
mother Margaret Porter.

could this be you Robina,

I could only find the birth of Margaret Bartram.

Margaret Bartram born Glasgow 10th July 1850.

cheers,
Billy.

Hi Billy
              Thanks for looking up some details. Already found Robina Sharp in Kirkcudbright, but she,s not the one. My Robina (Binney) Sharp is on the 1861 census along with husband John Bertram and three children. She is down as being born in linlithgow, bathgate around c 1827/25. I can find no details of her apart for the above and also mention in Agnes,s(b1855 glasgow) wedding records in 1876.  Maybe her birth was never registered?.
