Hi dmacp!

Yes I remember hearing from you before we had Annie and Robert Millen in common, that would be great to share some information it has been a real struggle getting anywhere with this - lots of brick walls.

My grandmother was Ina (Williamina) Millen who became Wilson when she married. Her mother was Ina (Robertina) Maxwell daughter of Annie Maxwell who went on to marry Robert Millen, when Robertina was still a baby if I remember rightly. Although the fact she was called Robertina makes me wonder if she was his daughter anyway

So is it Robertina or Williamina you are named after? Although it must be Williamina as she has the Wilson name - I know hardly anything about my Gran so this is very exciting!

Look forward to hearing from you!!
