That is ROBINSON.. Mine is ROBERTSON...althoughI do realize that there can be spelling variations. No don't think that is mine

MY Edward 1821 is a Bottlemaker... as per his death cert as well.

(Edward a SON by this marriage. b/1851/2 is a Tailor)

Edward b/1821 was definitely born South Leith Scotland.

I have a census for him alone... in Salamander St aged 20.in 1841. That's OK. Then I have him wife and only ELIZABETH aged 2. in 1851 at Elbe St. Edward is not my worry ! Where were the sisters ?

It is his sisters, Margaret & Elizabeth I want to find out about.

I am trying to find Margaret & Elizabeth's possible marriage..death.. which I guess is coming forward

I have Edward '21 Death Cert on which it states that Maggie Hendrie notified his death.. Have now found her married to John Hendrie. in 1872..so....HER & John's children ?????? Death ???? and where is Elizabeth ?????? I wonder if she has died at a very young age.

Thanks...Jan
