Hi Denise:
I have a relative born Alexander Wilson born in 1862 - Mother was Mary Kane/Cain. Mary later was with a James Robertson and had several children with him.
Is there any connection with your Catherine Robertson?
Regards
Sheila

Hi Barbara, you have replied to an old thread and, to be honest, it may be better to start one of your own.

To do this, simply let us know what you are looking for and what info you already have and I am sure someone will be able to help you out.

Also, have you tried putting the names you are looking for into the search box above to see if anyone else on this site has them in their tree? If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner.

I will send you a private message (pm) to let you know how to find and reply to this!! Regards. Cx.

You could order your mother's birth certificate from Scotlandspeople. This will give you her parent's names (including her mother's maiden surname) and the date and place of their marriage. Once you have her parents names you could try looking for any siblings she may have had.

You can then work forward from the addresses that they were marrried from and perhaps find your grandparents.

Just had a look on Scotlandspeople - there is no birth for a Catherine Susan Robertson coming up 1957-1959. What name did your mother use on her marriage certificate please?
