Richard Fogg 1841 Census Lookup

[KirstyG]

One possibility from the 1841 census on FreeCen might be

60 Abbeyhill
James Robertson 36 - Labourer in Coach Yard
Margaret 63
Thomas 28 - Cabinet Maker Jrnymn

edit: the age is all wrong I know. Could have been a brother though...

I just found right next door to Richard and Jane at Rowley Court

ROBERTSON   John   M   32   Coach Body Maker Journeyman   Midlothian       

ROBERTSON   Isabella  F     25                             Midlothian       

ROBERTSON   James  M   6                                  Midlothian       

ROBERTSON   Thomas M   4   

Maybe the John Robertson witness to their marriage?!

Oh, wonderful finds. It looks like the family only stayed a stone's throw away from each other.

Kirsty, great find on John's residence in 1837. Obviously couldn't see that myself!

The only thing I can think is that the father James Robertson died some time between 1837 and 1841.   I suppose Margaret Robinson could be the mother although that would have made her have her children later than most people were having them then.

I can't seem to find a record of his death though. 

I'll keep looking.

Very interesting, Richard Fogg/ Jane Robertson are my 3rd great-grandparents. I wonder if there any old photos of the properties where they lived in Abbeyhill, as it seems on google maps to have been redeveloped.

Hostler and ostler are the same - just different spellings of the word.

That place looks like Croft-an-righ, which is Gaelic and means King's Croft. Odd to find a Gaelic place name in Edinburgh.
