Moira....
Have checked the Co Down and the McRoberts/McBlain/Blaine name is everywhere (They came over with the Plantation of Ulster)...however I cannot find a connection so far between a John Mc Blain and Jane Mc Roberts (Variations of both surnames included...also excluded the Mc..)
Interesting that none of the children born to Mary and David were called after her parents..?
Have you checked to see if John and Jane were over in Scotland at any time...I cannot find them...

EDIT.....What happened to Mary and Davids children after she married John Robertson...????

Mary McBlain born 1815 Help please.
I have found out that Mary was born in Ireland (perhaps County Down) Her parent's were John McBlain and Jane McRoberts. I would like to find out anything about them in Ireland. Have tried but have been unable to find them I would be pleased to have any help or advice..
Mary left Ireland and married David Muir in Rutherglen, Scotland in 1835 and they had a family. She remarried John Robertson in 1850, he was a widower.
