The information that I have for William is a record of marriage in 1860 in Laurieston, Falkirk, to Mary Curley. Their ages are shown as 24 and 22 respectively. William's parents are shown as William Robertson and Anne Goldan and Mary's as Thomas Curley and Ann McGourlay. There is no mention of place of birth
The Falkirk census of 1861 shows William's age as 22 and Mary's as 23. Places of birth shown as Co Leitrim and Co Sligo respectively. No parish shown for either.
The Falkirk census of 1871 shows Williams age as 33 and Mary's as 32. Place of birth shown as Ireland for both.
The Falkirk census for 1881 shows William's age as 42 and Mary's as 43. Place of birth shown as Ireland for both.
William's death record shows that he died in Laurieston Falkirk 26th. June 1904 aged 61 yrs. No place of birth shown, parents shown as William Robertson and Ann McGourlay. This would appear to be an error because Ann McGourlay is recorded as the mother of Mary Curley on the marriage record of William and Mary in 1860.
So William's date of birth would appear to have been between 1836 and 1843. I have his birth recorded as 1839 in Co. Leitrim because that is the only information that I have which shows a place of birth to date.
So any help at all would be appreciated.
Regards
Tom
