Hi
I was wondering if someone could look up my  great Grandfather Daniel Robertson.He was a bootmaker in Aberdeen lived on Jasmine Terrace.I am not sure of the wife's name could be Jesse, Leena or?He had 9 sons and 3 daughters.My grandfather James Robertson from Aberdeen died on April 11th 1975, he was married to Helen.If you find anything can you tell me where you looked.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

Have you got any other information on this family...Birth years might help someone find  them for you? Other children's names etc.

Have you got the death Cert for your grandfather?

Hi Ali

Thanks for getting back to me.I am afraid I don't have much more.I have some of the sons names
Danny, James,Rob,Alex,William, and maybe a Jock/John.I understand he had a shop in the town and all the family were taught how to mend their shoes and boots.Daniel apparently was a bit too fond of the drink and was locked up on more than one occasion.No death certificate for my grandfather.
Thanks again
Ian

Hi Ian,

Sorry but more Questions...

Do you know the birth date of your grandad or his age when he died?

On Scotlands people ther are 5 James Robertson's that died in 1975 in Aberdeen...is this where he died? If you know his correct age you will be able to order his Certificate I think they cost 10 pounds hopefully from this you might find out a bit more information.

Also do you know Helen's Surname before she married?

Hi Ali

My grandfather definitely died in Aberdeen City.
He lived at Marquis Road,in Woodside.My grandmothers maiden name was Phillip.
I think I will look into ordering death certificate as well.
Thanks for your work on this.
Regards
Ian

Hi,I checked out the "Aberdeen Weekly Journal" for mentions of a Daniel Robertson.Between October 24 1887 - December 24 1894 there are 5 articles which may refer to your ancestor.Are you aware of the website of free to view 19th century British Newspapers?The address is

Thanks to everyone who have invested their time on this.
I can confirm that Helen Phillip did attend St Nicholas church so the location for the marriage makes sense and by extension from Ev
