    Default 1891 scottish census lookup please

    Hi,

    I am still searching for my great grandma Ellen Robertson on the 1891 census. She was born in Scotland 1884 father William . I've not had much luck finding her, but have got on the 1881 Scottish census a William Robertson Born 1858 in Edinburgh son of David and Elizabeth. This could be Ellen's father I know it is a long shot but could anyone have a look on the 1891 census to find William with Ellen his daughter she would have been age seven by then. Thanks alot.



    Regards Diane

    Hi Raven,

    Thanks for info, I don't know where in Scotland Ellen was born but was always told that her father William came from and worked in Edinburgh. I don't think the Ellen you have found is mine as I have her on the 1901 census age 17 born in Scotland by then she was working in service in Sheffield. I also have her marriage certificate December 1902 age 18. My father has told me that Ellen came to Sheffield to work in service. She also had two bothers who went to Lincoln but can't remember any other members of her family. I can't think where else to look. Thanks again for helping.

    Hi Dianne,

    according to Scotlandspeople (the GRO for Scotland) there was only 3 babies with the name of Ellen Robertson born in 1884. One was in Edinburgh, the others were in Moray and Shetland, so I'm thinking that the edinburgh one is yours.

    The details are as follows:

    Ellen McIntyre ROBERTSON bn 13 Aug 1884 father James Robertson Baker (journeyman) mother Ellen Robertson nee McIntyre . They were married South Leith 7 July 1876. POB of Ellen District of South Leith, County of Edinburgh.

    I know Ellen said her dad was William, but this is the only one for that year that fits with her known details (one in 1883 was Mary Ellen Robertson and her father was named George).

    You also are probably already aware of a John Robertson who was living in Lincoln at the time of the 1901 census, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1882/3 working as a Cinematograph Operator. A possible brother?? Just an idea

    Hi Lesley,

    Thanks for your reply. I don't know if this could be my Ellen as I have her on the 1901 cenus as Helen May and I do know that she had a daughter whom she named Ellen May . Thanks for the John Robertson in Lincoln I haven't really looked as yet for Ellen's brothers as I am quite new to this and have been really took up searching for Ellen, but you have now got me wondering about them now. Thanks again for your help.



    Regards Diane
