Jean Robertson Dewar was born in Perth Scotland,her parents were Robert Dewar and Christine Brough, these are the names on her death certificate. I believe she was born in 1874 or 75 but don't know the day or month. From AA and I'm a beginner to rootschat.

Hi

Welcome to Rootschat. There is a birth registered in Abernethy, Perthshire in 1875 for a Jane Robertson Dewar that could be her. In Scotland Jane & Jean tend to be interchangeable, and Familysearch.org has 3 older sisters born in Abernethy with parents Robert Dewar and Christina Brough. You can download a copy of the birth registration from Scotlandspeople, a payperview site.
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

According to Familyseach.org Robert Dewar & Christina Brough married Abernethy 20th November 1868, downloading the marriage registration fron Scotlandspeople should give you both sets of parents.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for all your help, it sounds like the right person. Jean was my greatgrandmother and she has been referred to as Jane in some of my information. I also think she had 3 older sisters. Thanks again.
