Caithness / Re: Robertson,Shetland

Catherine Ross Robertson was born in 1836 on the island of Stroma, which is part of Caithness. Her father Patrick (sometimes Peter) was a teacher. Catherine was with her family in the 1841 census, and with her aunt and uncle William and Williamina Ross in the 1851 census. I suspect Williamina is a maternal aunt, but yet to confirm!
I am almost certain that this Catherine is the same one who ended up in Liverpool. Can't give any reason why this would be the case, but I do know that Catherine's brother James died in Liverpool in 1858 - this was reported in the John O'Groat Journal (Caithness newspaper)
Catherine was my GGG aunt. I am descended from her brother John Mackay Robertson. I would like to make contact with her Roebuck ancestors if possible!
