To Joan Robb. Please contact me on (*). We are cousins. Your grandmother and mine were sisters. I lived in Limavady as a child and know the Dogleap well. MUriel, Jane and Dorothy Robertson all lived there when I was a child. My grandmother was Gertrude , known as Noni, and lived nearby. Would love to get in touch.  Penny
My father was Max Lane, son of Gertrude, one of the .12 Robertsons

I am most interested in this discussion, as Katherine O. Robertson was my grandmother's youngest sister. (Actually, the Octavia was for the fact that she was the eighth girl, not the eighth child; there were four boys.) I was happy to be able to visit the hospital in 2009 and to see the portrait of my great-aunt, thanks to the kindness of my cab driver. I think she was buried in Drumachose Cemetery, if that makes sense, and it most likely would have been Church of Ireland.

I wonder if someone might be able to tell me where I might obtain a copy of T. H. Mullen's Limavady and the Roe Valley. I've seen it on Amazon, but for about $120.00 Canadian -- rather steep for me!

Regards to all,

Joan Robb

My grandmother was also one of the sisters of Katherine and Dorothy. I have a photograph of all 12 brothers and sisters and would love to chat to you via private email. We are cousins !!  I lived in Limavady until I was 18 and have been back several times each year to visit my mother. My father was the son of Gertrude Llona Robertson.
Don't wish to put my email on here but look for Penny Croutear on Facebook ( lives in Devizes ) and message me there.

Also to the lady researching MUriel Robertson. I do have photographs and information about her. Still trying to sort a lot of family information but could provide something if it is not too late for you.

I am most interested in your post reference Dorothy and Katherine Robertson. Dorothy was also MY great aunt and I spent many happy days at the Dogleap. I was brought up in Limavady and am sitting with another cousin, looking through old Robertson photographs. My grandmother was Noni, one of the youngest Robertson children. She married an Aubrey Lane.
The last of the 21 first cousins died last year ( my father was one of them ).
Who was your connection to the family??
Look forward to hearing from you....
Penny
