Find Ancestors

HI I am trying to find any relations of George Robertson Born in Scotland in October 1912 d died in Canada in 1993. He married a Jessie Macdonald(1913-1981) and they had 4 boys. John born in 1937 Alistair born in 1941-2006 My Father William born in 1944-2004 And the youngest George(Sid) 1945 My grandparents moved to Canada sometime after 1968. I you can help me in any way with my search. Please email me. Debbie

Hi I have found heaps of information on George Robertson's family but have came to a road block again with Adam Robertson born 1866 and Adam Robertson born about 1810. I doing my research I have found out some intersting information on the family. So if anyone can help with death details of Adam 1866 and birth and death records for Adam about 1810.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Debbie

As you have done loads of research I,m sure you are aware that Scottish bmds are on Scotlands People website that isn't a subs site

Family search site though may have some records

In order for anyone to try and help with census info then we would need to know more than just individual names
:-)

There are quite a few with the same names so some identifying info is needed to pinpoint the right famlly

Hi Shirley

I have been able to find census details but still doesn't give me when Adam (1810) was born or died. Most of the genealogy sites dont have information pre 1835. He was married to Isobel(Isabella) Smith not sure when they married but must have been before their first sons James and John(3x Great grandfather) were born. John and his wife Agnes nee Gordon had Adam on the 14 September 1866 but cant seem to find a death notice for him. Was hoping that someone on this site is a link to either Adam's. Most of the family were born around Marnoch Banff.

for info only

I am in Australia and have been using the site Find my past and have come across most of the information that you have listed but not the details that could possibly be Adam's death. I had the 1881 census but could not locate him on the 1891 census but was having no luck finding his death details. The tree on ancestry is more then likely mine as I used that and I am registered with Scotlands People but don't have credits. I appreciate all the information you have given.
The Adam born in 1866 is my great grandfather John Robertson's reputed father.
I dont seem to be able to find any information when I search on this site.

census info etc is from Ancerstry.co.uk

Where credits are needed to view they are on Scotlands People website which isn't a subs site but credits are very reasonably priced

oh ok I am registered with the UK site. will have a look.

Possibly the marriage of the parents of Adam (1809 Marnoch):

ROBERTSON
WILLIAM
MARY INGRAM/

For 6 credits on ScotlandsPeople you can view/save/print the image of the original document.
Of course it's only a parish record, and may not have much more information on it, if any
