Hi Sharon

I have quite a bit on the Robertsons as William (who married Elizabeth Ewart) is my gtx4 Grandfather. I'm descended from a line of Williams, Isabella's borther William being my 3xgt grandfather.

William & Elizabeth had 7 children that I've found so far

I've not done much on Isabella yet tho I knew she'd married a Matthew Paul.

Happy to share. If you want to pm me with your email address can send you a gedcom with the story so far.

Thanks Ann,

I also found Catherine and Mathew birth, I got the names of Mathew Paul and Isabella Robertson from son John's marriage certificate. I also found Mathew and Isabella's marriage, 6 January 1805 Inchinnan, Renfrew, although couldn't find John's birth which would have been about 1805.

Thanks again
Sharon

Hello Sharon and Ann
Isabella Robertson and Matthew Paul are on Rootsweb World Connect (shows four children). You may have seen this.
I found six children for Isabella and Matthew by courtesy of Christine Normington's research on Rootweb archives.  They also had a daughter Isabella Paul born c1810 in Paisley married David Swan c1833 in Paisley.
Christine's research is very extensive and you will need to scroll down through the years - almost any mention of Robertson/Paul/Swan is her post.
July 2003 Robertson/Paul
Aug 2003 Poor Laws Isabella Paul (Robertson) 1847 Isabella Swan (Paul) 1849
Oct 2003 John Paul labourer
(Poor law statement for John Paul and his second wife Agnes Johnstone)
Feb 2006 (Renfrew) Paul Family

Kind regards....Rae
