Devon / Re: Robert Robertson of Moretonhampstead Devon
« on: Monday 18 May 15 14:50 BST (UK)  »
Thank you Judi for a quick reply.  What Family Search is showing are the children of Claud and Mary's children (Robert's brother and sister-in-law).  I am looking for Robert and Claud's siblings and their parents.
But thank you once again for your reply.
Regards

Devon / Robert Robertson of Moretonhampstead Devon
« on: Monday 18 May 15 14:28 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out about Robert's parents.  Robert was born about 1805 his father I believe was Claud Robertson a weaver (this is noted on Robert's marriage certificate).  Robert did have a brother called Claud who was also born in Moretonhampstead in 1804 and was married to a Mary Lightfoot.  Did he have other siblings and was his parents born in Devon?.
I would be most grateful for any help with this query.
Regards
Val

Hello Kim and Carol
Thank you both for the look ups.  Edward and Elizabeth could be Richard's parents.  I will purchase the C.D. for Canwell just to be sure.  Could you please, if possible, look up to see if Richard had any siblings.
Once again Thank you. Your help has been invaluable.

Hello Kim
I too have problems losing work through cyber space.
It looks as if poor John had only one surviving sibling.  Ann who died in 1764 may have been his mother.  Do you think that Richard could be the son of Edward as the date of birth is 1711?.
Once again Kim thank you for spending time looking up the answers to my queries.
Best wishes
Val
