Stirlingshire / Re: Robertson family.

Hello Ally, have managed to get back as far as John Robertson b 1834 Stranraer no birth certificate
though, so there's the brick wall. Have a few certificates for his son John Robertson before and after Stirling.
 He would be my 2nd great uncle, I am aware he lost two of his daughters Isabella and Jemima (sadly) very young, the last son I believe? was born 1914.
Roots chat has  a rule we can't PM each other till you make three posts I think?
Glad to help if I can, as I have had tons of help from others.
                                                                                      Brosie.

Scotland / Re: Elizabeth Maxwell Born In Scotland bef 1765 but where in Scotland?

agree with j m Strachan here, the military search looks the best option. Find my past, may throw a connection up, there is a john henry mcnab Chelsea pensioner born Armagh 1886.

Charles was born 1901 he was a shipright, fathers name was George explosive worker foreman, as many of my family were. Sorry no sign of any Frews yet.  Family story goes, a signal was picked up at Valentia island Ireland from SS Beaverdale that the Blairgowries steering gear had gone, I suspect the weather was really bad and these ships would have no other means of steering. (poor souls)

Cheers Tom, SS Blairgowrie  on route from Swansea Wales, to Boston USA, February 1935 she was lost,  none of the crew survived, Charles Mcintyre was my grand aunts husband they were living in Stevenston in 1930.
