The Robinson in the tree could be a complete red herring. Matches could be through th3 female line.

You need to complete a tree for 1879 Robinson - called a dirty tree.

Unless you have checked the updated parental share as suggested the 44% Scot’s may not be too reliable. A few years ago there was a bit of an uproar when Ancestry switched a lot of English dna to Scots. They said they could not distinguish between northern England and Scotland and , of course, it be Isris/ Scot’s dna can cross over.

Kew doesn’t hold the Scottish records. They are only available in Scotland or on Scotlands People.

Yes, ErikaH, I have looked back and will return more to my other thread - I forgot I'd done it to be honest. Yes, namelessone, the Robinson part could be a red herring and just a coincidence but overall, it says that the DNA link is on the paternal side, but of course it doesn't have to be the Robinson link.

I'll still carry on searching but thanks for your helpful suggestions. Should I reach a conclusion, I'll post on here.
