part of original message hi, as our family has dwindled, i have, maybe all too late, got a desire to find out what my scottish links are.. my grandmother, my dads mum was a Robertson her father`s details are unknown to me.. she was born Sarah Eleanor Robertson on 25rd march 1899 i believe born in hartlepool. She was 1 of 6, a brother Tommy not sure if he was born Thomas Sister Freda Sister Martha Sister Gertrude ( Gertie) Sister Agnes? (Aggie) she had a daughter Irene. Brother Percy NOW UPDATED i now have sarah my grandmother`s birth certificate,her mother was also called sarah eleanor robertson, formally Mann, her father was a ship`s caulker his name was James Arther Robertson... it seems his father too may have been named James Robertson born in Scotland approx 1850 married possibly to Isabel in west hartlepool i would like to no more about the scottish link, thanks to Georgina Skinner for great research, it seems funny that my grandmother lived with her grandmother as a baby, she is said to be 1 of 6. i`m not sure where the others and my granparents were.. intrigued, cari
