Hi - looking for help in tracing Robertson and Hamilton
« on: Sunday 14 December 08 20:00 GMT (UK) »
Hello  ::), I wonder if anyone can help please? I have managed to trace my GG grandfather James Robertson born born/baptised 16 Mar 1826 on the PR in Kilsyth which states that his father was James Robertson Innkeeper in Newtown and his mother who was Jean Goodwin.  I can find no further information for either of his parents except an MI for Kilsyth church graveyard which say James Robertson Innkeeper 1826.  Can anyone suggest where I could search to find out any more information on them. 

I am also stuck with finding the birth reg for GG Grandmother Letitia Smith Hamilton, who was married to GG GF James above, I can find Letitia's, Marriage, Death and census info 1841 onwards but cannot find her birth, She was born about 1831 married James in 1850 and died in 1901 in Kilsyth.   
 
I would be grateful for any suggestions on where to look for this information. 

Thanks Talia    :D

Hi Ev, firstly, many thanks for taking the time to search out the above info it was really helpful and has filled some gaps.  I'm new to searching out my family tree and not sure how to go about finding b/m/d before 1855, I know I can find some of my family on the OPR for Kilsyth church, but if I don't have dob's or dod's where would I look next.  Any advice on how I go about this would be greatly appreciated.   

Thank you again for the search.

another submitted entry on IGI which you might not have
john hamilton marriage to catherine morrison 13th september 1818
kilsyth stirling
not proof positive but worth keeping in mind

also from scotlandspeople
catherine hamilton(nee morrison ?) died 1870 kilsyth stirling born c1792

submitted entry for katrine morison born 23rd july 1792 kilsyth stirling
parents james morison & elizabeth henderson

this info. would have to be checked but looks worth a follow up
