Finding info circa 1770 - 1790
« on: Saturday 31 July 04 00:05 BST (UK) »
I have (2) possiblities on an ancestor.
Joseph Rainey Robertson b 1760 - 1780.  However, from his marriage in 1795, I woule estimate birth,  guessing age  at 20, to be 1775 +/- 3 years.
Having done a bit of reading I realize that Census started after mid 1800's, so all I have is one in Rhynie&Essie, Aberdeen, and one in Hamilton, Lanark.
I have no idea of Parish or other location/source.
All I know about him is his marriage in Kentucky in 1795.
Any suggestions?
Robertson/Robinson, Johnson, Ziegner, Gibbs,  my line.
Moore, Bolton, Estes, Collins,  wife's line

Scotlands People web site at http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ has parish records going back to 1553 although it is a pay site (£6 gets you 30 credits for viewing and searching)
