James Moffatt Percy Jones

[Gadget]

There is a birth on the IGI for an Ann Bradstock Robertson - 16th July 1832, Dumfries. parents were George Robertson and Mary Hunter Robertson. It's a patron submission so it needs checking for confirmation*

Gadget

* Confirmed by a baptismal record on Scotlands People - baptised 31st July 1832, Dumfries

[Gadget]

George Robertson and Mary Hunter Robertson had the following children baptised Dumfries between 1810 and 1854

13 August 1820 James*
21 July 1822 Jean
29 August 1824 Agnes*
20 April 1827 James
3 May 1830 Agnes
31 July 1832 Ann Bradstock
4 Oct 1833 John
9 June 1836 George

* probably died.

It could be that George, b. 1836 was Annie Jones (nee Robertson's father) However, as she was born Carlisle, it would be an English Birth cert soI can't go much further

Hi Victor

I hope you have seen all this and some or all of it fits. I notice that you've been in an hour ago

Gadget, thank you for all the hard work.  You have uncovered that Anne and Mary Anne were cousins.  I believe that your assumption that James' grandmother, Ann Bradstock Robertson, and George Robertson II are brother and sister is correct.  This would make James' two mothers cousins.  You have opened up many new doors.  All of your information on the Jones line is correct, too.
