I'm preparing to have my wrists shot down in flames with this one - honestly can't remember if we've had it before:
At 31 Church Road, Hoylake, West Kirby in 1901 (close to where we found Allan living with his mother in 1891):
Archibald M Robertson, Head, 44, Cotton Brokers' Manager, Ireland
Edith M Robertson, Wife, 33, Flint, Harwarden
William A Robertson, Son, 11, Southport, Lancs
Alan F Robertson, Son, 10, Southport, Lancs
Kathleen E Robertson, Daur, 8, Southport, Lancs
Margaret B Robertson, Daur, 7, Southport, Lancs
Jas. H Robertson, Son, 3, West Kirby, Cheshire
Anne E L Macbeth, Servant, 23 Lancs Southport
I like the occupation for Archibald, I like where they're living and I liked the 'M' - thought it might be Mackae!
In 1891, Edith, William and Allan F are in Huddersfield, sans Archibald. They are with Edith's mother, Ellen Ferrier, widow, 66, born Yorkshire, Huddersfield and 'living on own means' - all at 1 West Hill, Huddersfield. Allan is just 2 months old (maybe born there? - except the 1901 says Southport).
Hubby is in Liverpool, at Toxteth Park - just five doors down from Thomas Cain, brewer, at 9 ?Marmion? Road:
Archibald M Robertson, Head, Married, ? 34 ?, Clerk, Ireland
Eleanor C Robertson, Wid, 55, Worseley
Sarah L Robertson, Sister, 30, Lancashire, Liverpool
Agnes B Roberston, Sister, 24, Lancashire, Liverpool
Margaret M Robertson, Sister, 22, Lancashire, Liverpool
Elizabeth Brideson, Servant, 23, Lancashire, Liverpool
Marriage of Archibald MacIver Robertson to Edith Mary Ferrier, Sept Qtr of 1887 in Huddersfield.
(Edith is from a Grocer's family in Cwmdu, Glamorgan - father born Ireland).
Oh well - so not a Mackae, but a solid Scots name, I guess.
Nothing substantial to connect this family with our - but they certainly like to move around: Ireland, Huddersfield, Southport, Hoylake and Liverpool for Archibald.
Can't find his mother, Eleanor, definitively in 1881 or 1871 - can anyone else?
cheers
Paul
