Thomas Roberts - Linlithgow 1840s (and others from the family)
« on: Thursday 04 December 08 22:18 GMT (UK) »
One of my relatives Thomas Roberts married Mary Henderson (from Muiravonside) in Torphichen in 1838. I have a copy from SP of the cost paid to the Church of having their Banns read .

I have found details of a Thomas and (I think) Mary Roberts in Linlithgow in 1841.  Can anyone help in deciphering the details - especially the 2 year old daughter?

And if anyone can provide any other details, I'd be chuffed!

Thanks in advance,

Stuart

Thomas was born around 1818 (can't find the birth yet) to Peter Robert and Janet Beveridge.  Peter was born in 1764 in Torphichen to William Robert and - I think - Anna Symond.

Can anyone decipher this better than me?

I think that it reads:

August 5th William Robert and Anna Symond in Cranhill **** had a child baptized called Peter

Hi Stuart, hope you are still looking at your requests. Only just found this so a bit late in replying. Thomas Roberts & Mary Henderson are my Gt. Gt. grandparents. Their daughter Janet (aged 8yrs on 1851 census) was my GT. grandmother on my paternal line. Would love to be in touch with you.
