Looking for any information on this family.On alexanders death cert it said his father was also named Alexander Stewart(Male Merchant Service)?His mothers name was Jacobina Robertson. He left the village of Washington when he was 12 yrs old. He worked for the NBR from 1858-1908.

HI Derby

Have you got early census info for Alexander? This is his 1851 entry:

Alexr Robertson 70, Agricultural Labourer Occupier Of 3 1/2 Acres Of Land, b. Kinclaven, Perthshire
Jacobina Robertson 30, daughter, weaver, b. Meigle
Alex Stewart 12, grandson, b. Meigle
Jacobina Robertson 14, granddaughter, weaver, b Meige (from IGI - looks to be daughter of an Agnes Robertson)
Margt Fury 7, boarder, pauper, b. Dundee
Michael Fury 10, boarder, pauper, b. Dundee
Mary Meechan 7, boarder, pauper, b. England
Charles Nesbitt 3, boarder, pauper, b. Dundee

Address: Washington, Meigle

Can't see Alexander in the household for this 1841 entry. This entry is from a transcript, maybe the original would differ:

Alex Robertson 55, ag. lab
Jacobina Robertson 20

Address: Washington, Meigle

Potential marriage/banns for Jacobina's parents:

 ALEXR. ROBERTSON  and JACOBINA BUIST: 10 JUN 1805 Meigle and 14 JUN 1805 Perth, Perth, Scotland

Some children showing for them on IGI:

1. AGNES ROBERTSON Christening: 11 MAY 1806 Meigle, Perth, Scotland
2. JOHN ROBERTSON Christening: 25 OCT 1807 Meigle, Perth, Scotland
3. CHIRSTIAN ROBERTSON  Christening: 07 JAN 1810 Meigle, Perth, Scotland
4. ALEXANDER ROBERTSON Christening: 07 FEB 1812 Meigle, Perth, Scotland
