Helen Robertson was born around 1850 in Glasgow. By 1861 she was living with an aunt Catherine in the Poor House in Stirling. Her parents were Alexander Robertson and Janet Hay, but i can find no record of Helens birth or any records at all about her parents. I know that the aunt was called Catherine Robertson, that she had a daughter and that she was born in Ireland.
