I'm trying to find out about the Robertson family who I believe lived in Field Street Holyhead Anglesey at the turn of the last century, has anybody  information about this family please thank you

I presume you are referring to 1899-ish, rather than the last century which would be 1999?!

1901 census has 15 Robertsons living on Anglesey.
Do you have any names & dates?


There are 2 Robertson families living in Holyhead:
Margaret (a widow) and 4 teenage children in Millbank Terrace
John & Margaret and 4 young children in Park Street

It could well be the Robertson who lived at Millbank Terrace the father was from Glasgow thank you very much

[KGarrad]

If you had mentioned the father's birthplace, earlier . . . . .

Thank you for your help its a good start in finding  where the Robertson family  came from once again thanks

[KGarrad]

For William's parentage, you would need to look at Scotland's People website.
It's pay-per-view, and you have to buy credits.

But buying the marriage certificate would give you the names of both father's.

I can't see the family in 1871?!
They're hiding from me!!
