    Exclamation Williamina Robin

    My mystery child is Williamina Robin.

    She was 4 months old as noted on the 1901 Glasgow, SCT census.
    What happened to her?
    She was one of the children of my grandfather's first wife. His first wife, Helen 'Nellie' Burns, died in 1913 just two months before the first child died. So should I assume that Williamina died in infancy too?
    The other child on the census I was able to get her death record. Three other researcher that I know of also have searched for her in vain. Sweet Williamina I think of her and wonder did she die was her birth and death not registered. What happened to her? Is she buried in some lone cemetery or did she go on and live a happy life unknown to us?

    1901 SCT census

    Her surname was ROBIN.

    Father: William Robin (1874-1963)
    Mother: Hellen 'Nellie' Burns died 1913
    Helen J. N. Robin (1898-1913)
    Williamina Robin 4 months?
    res: 45 Edington Court, St George in the Fields, Cowcaddens, Glasgow


    Sweet Williamina Robin you are thought of even though I never knew you~

    Thank you,

    Hi Karola,

    I have found this 1901 census. Everything else matches, except Williamina's age which is, according to the transcript (the original's not available) was 14, giving her d.o.b. of c. 1887

    Name:Williamina RobinAge:14Estimated birth year:abt 1887Relationshipaur (Daughter)Father's name:William RobinMother's name:Helen RobinGender:FemaleWhere born:Glasgow, LanarkshireRegistration Number:644/8Registration district:MiltonCivil Parish:Glasgow St George in The FieldsCounty:LanarkshireAddress:45 Edington StED:36Household schedule number:99Line:23Roll:CSSCT1901_295Household Members:NameAgeWilliam Robin26Helen Robin24Helen J W Robin2Williamina Robin14
    I went on to find this marriage for a Williamina Robin- you may have to send for the certificate to confirm whether she's yours.

    Name:Williamina RobinSpouse Surname:LeddraDate of Registration:Oct-Nov-Dec 1917Registration district:PlymouthRegistration county (inferred)evonVolume Number:5bPage Number:604

    Name:Ralph LeddraSpouse Surname:RobinDate of Registration:Oct-Nov-Dec 1917Registration district:PlymouthRegistration county (inferred)evonVolume Number:5bPage Number:604

    If this is the correct marriage, then it appeared they only had the 1 child:
    Name:Yvonne H G LeddraMother's Maiden Surname:RobinDate of Registration:Oct Nov Dec 1920Registration district:PlymouthRegistration countyevon/Cornwall/SeillyVolume Number:5bPage Number:366

    I also found the death of Williamina Leddra. The d.o.b. is slightly out, but I think the 1st step would be to order the marriage certificate.
