Hi hope someone can shed some light. I am trying to track down my dad's side of the family from Greenock, the Robertson's. I know nothing of this side of the family and would be good to catch up.

We left Greenock in 1982 after my mother Rose Robertson split from my dad Robert Robertson (now deceased). He was part of a large family from what i recall siblings Duncan, Peter, Margaret, Sadie, Ellen I may have missed a few.

If anyone can help shed some light I would be gratefull

Sounds like him, Inverkip, Wemyss Bay was the last I knew, married to Elizabeth with a son Duncan?

Good to know someone that knows my family, its been 27 years since I knew anything about my Dads side of the family

Bow Farm area makes sense because my mum was from Rose Street & I think her and my father met at Barrs Cottage waiting for a bus, very romantic ha
