Hi!
Doesnt seem to be in 1900. But I guessed that was the case as passenger list said he went to USA in 1903.

Cant see him in 1920 or 1930 either.

Hi,

No Luck with Claude so far either. Not in 1930 or 1920 US Census.

Have only just joined in so I am pretty confused, but could this be our man in 1930 (US Census)?

Living in Newark City, New Jersey

Allan G. Robertson and wife Mary, in a rented house, for which they pay $110 per month - and they have a radio!

He is a white male, aged 56 (ie c. 1874), 21 when first married, born England, parents born Scotland/Scotland. He can read, immigrated in 1927 and is a superintendent at a cotton mill.

Wife Mary is same age, also 21 when first married, born Scotland, parents Scotland/Scotland.

Note that the age when first married doesn't necessarily mean they married each other then ...

Hi Again,

"Our" Allan was 26 when he married Charlotte, but we all know censuses arnt always accurate.

Gosh....there's suddenly five more pages to this thread since I went to bed yesterday...

I just found this thread with molisons on rootschat:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,45632.0.html

I haven't managed to work out if they are definately connected to our ones yet..but they are also from Brechin.

Is this the same person that you already e-mailed Pam?

this is a link to the institutions that were included in 1901 cenus - but were not always numbered....

I thought perhaps Claude might have been sick during 1871 census -  there was a hospital for infectious diseases in Toxteth - or maybe he had mental problems or behaviour problems -  especially as he was sent away to school in 1881 
but I can't find 1871 institutions census - does any body know where I can find them??

OK Paul
 
I'm pretty sure this is HIM -

I'm going to be too pooped to participate tomorrow............

1. - First of all they said he was born 1857 - but it is very plain on the image AGED 4
2. - Then he's Robinson not Robertson
3. - Then I believe he was born too soon....

1871

Mary Ann Reading   1849 age 22 Poplar, Middlesex, England Servant CamberwellSt Giles
Claud Robinson   1857 age 4   Peckham, Surrey, England   Son Camberwell St Giles

Please let this be the one
